Blue Underground fires off another retro rocket from the dinosaur days of cable TV with a second round of Midnight Blue, a compilation of interviews and shenanigans from the eponymous (and infamous) '80s-era cable access show. Hosted by Screw publisher Al Goldstein, Midnight Blue invited mainstream and adult celebrities alike to discuss their lives and lusts with uncensored abandon. The focus on this disc is XXX stars from the '70s and '80s, including Marilyn Chambers, Georgina Spelvin, and Annie Sprinkle, each of whom discuss their sex lives on and off the set in unsparing detail, with Goldstein offering a mix of slobbery compliments and frank questions. Viewers are also treated to footage of stars like Seka and Veri Knotty performing their stage acts (Ms. Knotty's routine is not for the faint-hearted), and Georgina Spelvin recreates her snake dance from The Devil in Miss Jones. Though the interviews and on-location footage (which includes visits to a film set and a trip to the notorious Plato's Retreat in New York) is for the most part smutty, Goldstein does offer the performers a forum to speak frankly about their chosen professions, and even sound off on various grievances. For classic adult-film fans, this peek behind the scenes is fairly priceless, especially seeing how it hasn't been available for viewing since its original broadcast; the supplemental feature is an optional pop-up trivia text track that offers a barrage of info on the DVD's subjects. --Paul Gaita

5.0 out of 5 stars I can't get enough of the ads, January 21, 2006

By	joseph Corey "party favors columnist" (Raleigh, NC United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Al Goldstein created a great show in "Midnight Blue." No matter what you think about Al, he allowed porn stars to be themselves on the air. This show has clips from a variety of his episodes. The highlight of this collection is the interviews with Marilyn Chambers. I always get a kick out of the former Ivory Snow gal. Annie Sprinkle is also a delight.

But what I find myself more glued to is the ads for various swing clubs and porn theaters plus an escort service. I wouldn't mind sitting through these ads during breaks in Seinfeld. Why doesn't Plato's Retreat advertise during the Superbowl? And who knew strip clubs back then had buffets?

This is essential viewing for anyone who enjoys vintage adult entertainment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than Volume One! A must buy for all....., January 31, 2006

By	TV Newsman "TV Newsman" (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews

I must tell you, if you want to see a vintage local New York adult cable show, this volume is for you. Midnight Blue was a leased access program on Manhattan Cable TV's Channel J back in the `70's. Al Goldstein and Alex Bennett hosted the program and to this day, these men are my heroes of New York cable porn, period. The segments in the volume are pure gems and the commercials are out of sight.

I was very disappointed with the first volume, The Deep Throat Collection, because of the annoying factoids popping up on the screen, thus, ruining the entire DVD itself.

I am very happy to report that the pop ups are now an extra. That way you can disable it and finally enjoy the show in the clear. Honestly, New York After Midnight and Blue Underground should redo and reissue the first volume because of that problem.

I am disappointed of the lack of the show open of each segment. Volume 1, The Deep Throat Collection, added the original 1975 - 1976 opens to each of the show segments, but this volume didn't and they should because that was a part of Midnight Blue as well. Remember the "Late Late Blue?" I still have the open on tape from 1982.

I hope they will correct it in future sets.

Midnight Blue is a must buy to adult entertainment fans!!!

Something old? Something new? Something very little Midnight Blue...

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and Retro, February 15, 2006

By	John Smith (New Haven, CT USA) - See all my reviews

This is a very fun dvd. It has a great retro feel. Old advertisments for spas and clubs from the 70/80s are included. My favorite parts were the Marc Stevens and Seka interviews.
