5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best collection..., January 15, 2001

I have always been a big fan of "Telephone", and think it is probably the best comedy bit ever recorded. A few years ago, I had bought a number of Nichols & May albums, and _In Retrospect_ was by far the best. It is essentially a "best of" album, which is much of the reason, but also on their other albums, there were bits that just fell flat. I highly recommend starting with this collection if you don't own any Nichols & May already.

if you like a good comedy, and you like to laugh; order this cd! it's really funny and smart! Mike Nichols is great and Elaine May is amazing! especially "Mother and son" (hello arthur...this is your mother...do you remember me! ) and "telephone" (information...) are great! really, order it today! you will NOT regret it! i promise.

5.0 out of 5 stars Do Yourself A Favor..., February 3, 2004

One of the best comedy albums in existence. Listen to the sound of tradition breaking, as Nichols and May use improvisation to turn the world of sketch inside out.
If you're a comedian, you can't not own this.
If you're a human being, you can't not fall in love with it.
