I worked with Victor Borge for almost 15 years and I can tell you that this 6-DVD collection has the funniest Borge routines you've ever seen including the Opera Singer, the Timid-Page Turner, Phonetic Punctuation, Inflationary Language and so much more. Just put in any DVD and get ready to laugh over and over.

Victor Borge may be the funniest human being ever!

I recently purchased the Victor Borge Classic Collection about a week ago. Just the other night we were having some families over, so I decided to put on The Best of Borge. I do not remember seeing so much laughter and smiles in one room before. I was most suprised that even the teenagers who had never heard of him before were sitting down to watch. Victor Borge is a one of a kind performer that only comes along once in a lifetime. I have seen him live and on TV, and even though I know what he is going to say, I still laugh. His comedic timing and touch at the piano are legendary, and something you never get tired of seeing or hearing. I know you have heard it before, but this is truly a gift the whole family will enjoy forever! A must for everyone's holiday list!

There is a lot of overlap between the different dvds. Each dvd seems to have something that the others don't, but they also have a lot of the same routines. But given its price, it wasn't a bad deal.

There was a lot of repeat footage. The first dvd; "The Best of Victor Borge - Acts One and Two" had had about 90% of everything that is on the other five dvds. It was great to see Victor Borge, but for such a long career the was very little sampleing of what he did.

There is so much duplication on each of the DVDs they could have put everything once on one DVD and at least you would not feel ripped off. So many skits and hours of his comedy I was expecting to enjoy on all these DVDs and found that in this one DVD set I saw more re-runs of the same thing than I have ever seen. What a great disappointment but at least I could give out 5 of the DVDs to friends and we all would have the same thing just in a different order.

We've seen bits & peaces of the show on public tv..and have always wanted to purchase, but $149 was out of our range. When I found it on AMAZON for $22.00 there was no way I was gonna pass it up. Thanks every so much for bringing classical humor into our home.

Victor Borge deserves 5 stars. The producers, however, are charlatans who took one disc worth of material and duplicated it into 6 discs. If you can get a used copy for cheap, then it is worth it as Borge is really very funny and charming. $10 would be a fair price for this product.

the contents of this DVD box was disappointing because of many times you see the same show and others who just talk about how funny they think it is. It is funny though!

I'm watching this collection right now. Victor is a treasure that all should be able to see and appreciate. He was 'one of a kind' talent. The picture quality on this set of 6 disks leaves something to be desired. It isn't very good but the shows make up for lack of film quality. I was able to purchase this classic set at Sam's Club for just $20,a better deal than this $31 price. I'm happy to finally get to re-watch this wonderful man's shows.

Unfortunately some of the discs have the same material on them. Still Victor Borge is a very talented and funny man, I enjoy his performances.
