I've seen Tim Conway for years and think he is the funniest person alive, but the scenes on this DVD were terrible.

This is Tim from the early 50s to the mid 60s? Before his days on Carol Burnett. Tim's strength is his physical comedy & spontaneous witty ad-lib. He also does best when another actor tries to hold in a laugh at his jokes & that gives Tim confidence to do what he does best & go off the script. That barely happens once in this hour program when a ringing phone didn't happen & he pretending to be psychic (I forget) & the other actor died laughing. I wished Tim kept going, but he went back to the script. All stage skit material from different variety shows, many of them having Tim play a character called "Dag Hartford" as a jockey, car driver, hippie, caveman, etc. It's the same character, the type that's slow, thick-headed, etc. But nowhere near as good as his days on Carol. There's almost no physical comedy as well.

I thought it was more of the funny stuff he did with Carol Burnett, but unfortunately it was not that funny.

WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT. THERE ARE GREAT TV INTERPLAY SEQUENCES SOMEWHERE AVAILABLE, BUT THESE SCENES ARE WORSE THAN PEDESTRIAN. AND--- VERY FEW IN NUMBER. WHICH I REGARD AS LIFESAVING IF PROLONGED! I WAS SUCKED IN BY A TV AD WHICH DID FALSELY REPRESENT THIS DUD.

I have watch a fair amount of tim conway and these were not the highlights of his career I would have chosen....

You are better off going to youtube.

I first saw Tim Conway when he was Tom Conway at BGSU in 1954. He was hilarious then and still is. This dvd shows some of his routines from TV, but none from the Carol Burnett Show-which were classic. Tim Conway is one of the top comedians. This dvd proves it.

Amazon should refund everyone's money who have ever purchased this awful product. I will NEVER buy anything from them again unless they do. This is mis-represented, badly made, and should be given away free for target practice; Jeff, how could you allow this product pollution?

Tim was a great comedian, but a lot of his goofiness doesn't go across the generation gap well. Most of the co-stars he had on with him were from a generation that is no longer with us. It would have been helpful is we had some text to be able to identy the stars that the audience was so obviously in love with. I gave it to a man in the generation ahead of me, and he loved it.

Like any Tim Conway show, this is a funny dvd. I wish it was longer. He is funny as usual, but I was hoping for a few scenes from the Carol Burnett show. I have never seen the skits on thei dvd before But the dvd played well on my machine and was good for a few laughs.

I remember Tim Conway from the Carol Burnett Show, but also McHale's Navy. I remember he was funny. I bought the Dorf collection, which was entertaining and mostly funny. That brought back happy youthful memories of his escapades on TV, so I bought this DVD. Regardless of many of the other reveiws, I find this Tim Comway Timeless Comedy DVD hillarious. Although I wish it was longer, the skits are very humorous. Tim doesn't need props to be funny. His facial expressions and timing, much like Bob Newhart from his early days, bring out the laughter. Adding to the laughter are when his partners in the sketches can't contain theirs' at Tim's responses, and many times have to turn away to keep a straight face or somtimes just outright explode in vocal smiles. The humor is clean and for the whole family- no smut or fowl language. A definite good buy. If this is suppose to be his "worst" work, imagine how good he must be!
