This review is from: The Statler Brothers: Best of the Statler Brothers (DVD)
I loved the Statler Brothers Show when it was on TV, and I've read their recent (2007) book. I was looking for a collection of complete episodes of the show but didn't find that. This DVD is composed of several clips from various shows - some of their opening songs and comedy routines, and a Gospel collection toward the end. They could have made it 1.5 or 2 hours, but what's here (1 hour) is excellent. What makes it even better is that my favorite Statler Brothers song (Silver Medals and Sweet Memories) is included. Here's hoping that whoever now owns the shows will release the entire series on DVD.

My first encounter with the Statlers was back in 1971 and since then I've been i die-hard fan. This DVD has very good quality and sound - the only negative thing I can say is that it stopped playing after 60 minutes... Harold has always been a favorite - and here he have som really enjoyable jokes... I can't denie that I miss shows when Lew deWitt was one of the boys - but untill the next consert DVD is released, I'll play this one over and over...

"Red. White & Blue" Team,
By Sweet Pickle "Pickle" (Wichita, KS USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Statler Brothers: Best of the Statler Brothers (DVD)
First some history to those who never heard of "The Statler Brothers". The Statler Brothers got their start working with Johnny Cash (the man in black). Only two of the group are actually brothers (Don and Harold). Yet the original group (Lew DeWitt & Phil Basley) were close friends from same small town of Staunton, Virginia. Lew actually wrote their first big hit "Flowers On The Wall". Due to an illness, Lew DeWitt had to leave the group and Jimmy Fortune was hired on.
I missed watching their TV shows and the concerts. Great family entertainment! Yet, I can understand them wanting to stop and enjoy retirement life. You don't have to now! Just watching these reruns until a new one comes out on the market. Harold is funny! He could have made it back in the days of Red Skelton, Jack Benny, etc. were on TV. Yet, he is at his best like George & Gracie Burns when preforming with his brother Don. I can't watch very many of the new TV shows and/or movies now. Too much violence and dirty language. This is something that you can sit down and not have to worry about what your little ones hear and/or see.
