5.0 out of 5 stars Essential TV Comedy, February 19, 2009

By	Scott Rivers (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Eddie Murphy's recent movies (apart from his Oscar-nominated turn in "Dreamgirls") almost make you forget the comic brilliance of his "Saturday Night Live" period. Regrettably out of print, this compilation includes many of Murphy's funniest sketches from the 1981-84 seasons. Buckwheat, Velvet Jones, Mr. Robinson and Little Richard Simmons are back in all their glory - not to mention Eddie's on-target impersonations of Bill Cosby, Stevie Wonder and Jesse Jackson. The "James Brown Celebrity Hot Tub" skit is priceless, but there's no Gumby, dammit! Still, the Paramount video remains far superior to the botched DVD version.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just funny and Eddie at his best!!!!, January 23, 2009

By	Ms. Dee Dee's Schoolhouse "Elephants R Lucky" (Oak Park MI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Eddie is soooo funny as Buckwheat, James Brown as Annie, etc. I owned it on VHS when it was first released back in the day, this tape is just "Old School" funny. D1027 MI.
