Editorial Reviews

He s been called The Great Dane and The Clown Prince of Denmark but most know him simply as Victor Borge whose seamless blending of clever comedy and classical compositions led to colossal success on records radio television and sold-out concert tours for more than 75 years. In 1951 Victor Borge was given his own weekly television show cleverly titled The Victor Borge Show - which was broadcast live on NBC but lasted less than six months. Here is a symphonic smorgas-Borge of 14 ultra-rare episodes that capture Victor at his funniest sometimes alongside a pre-Honeymooners Art Carney! These are not the later concert appearances which have been released on tape and disc. These are rare kinescopes of Borge s 1951 live TV show that have remained largely unseen for more than half a century! As a bonus this 3-disc collection also contains rare appearances by Victor Borge on other variety shows of the 50s and 60s and even a car commercial! An extraordinary collection for fans of classical comedy everywhere!System Requirements:Running Time: 405 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS UPC: 025493332599 Manufacturer No: PIP-DV-3325

4.0 out of 5 stars Great collection for the price, June 28, 2006
By 
Steves (Southern California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Victor Borge Show Collection (DVD)
I was hoping that this collection would have some new stuff and was glad to see that it's filled with these really early live TV shows that I hadn't seen before. (Actually, I didn't even know he HAD his own TV show in 1951.) Borge does repeat some of the bits in other shows, but all in all, it's great fun to watch him so (comparatively) young, doing his thing. I saw him at Carnegie Hall during his 75th birthday tour and he still had "it." Some of the sketches on this show seem almost surreal or absurd in a Kovacs kind of way. And it's a kick to see Art Carney just before Honeymooners.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not quite as expected, November 3, 2006
This review is from: The Victor Borge Show Collection (DVD)
The quality of the sound (the pictures are good enough) is not very high. Perhaps it isn't more to expect of a TV-show produced in the early 50's, but I expected better. Also I would say that Mr. Borge was much funnier later in his career. I have another DVD: "The Victor Borge Collection" which is a collection of his best acts and there he is much older in most of the sketches than in those from "The Victor Borge Show Collection" and I have to say; he is also way funnier. Nevertheless, he is certainly funny sometimes here also.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic comedy, January 18, 2007
This review is from: The Victor Borge Show Collection (DVD)
This set shows what TV was like in its earliest days, a window into the past. This is sooo great! Quit shopping you found what you need, the ultimate Victor Borge.
