1.0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointing, November 22, 2008
By J. Grady (Cincinnati, OH USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was very disappointed with this DVD for the following reasons:

1) The "shows" (all from the '80's) are not full shows. The first 2 shows are less than 30 minutes each and the last is less than 15 minutes (just one act is shown).
2) The monologues have been edited.
3) In the first show, comedian Gary Shandling is introduced and he performs his act. I had assumed that he was the first guest but turns out he is the second act. At one point as he is chatting with Johnny, makes a comment to the guest sitting next to him and we get to see this guest briefly. I believe it is Tony Bennett. I'm guessing that Tony sang and there was a copyright issue that prevented the performance from being on the DVD.
4) The second show had Robin Williams and Bob Hope as guests. This part of the review has to do with the content of the show. I like Bob Hope and was looking forward to seeing him. But Robin Williams kept interrupting, adding jokes of his own. It was really irritating. I can only take Robin Williams in small doses and after his own performance, I wish had would have just been content to sit there and let Bob Hope do his thing.
5) The last show only had one performance, a comedian.

I do not recommend this DVD.

1.0 out of 5 stars Heeere's another rip-off!, November 26, 2008
By Gale Hoover (Wichita, KS) - See all my reviews
Will I ever learn? Even after feeling ripped off with my last Johnny Carson purchase, I caved and bought this DVD thinking it would be a lot of fun to see some old Johnny shows from Christmas. They promote THREE shows, but they are hacked to bits. Why - given the fact Johnny hosted the Tonight Show for decades - would they include such little content? As long as this company continues to release Johnny DVD's, I wouldn't buy one again. Be warned and save your money!

2.0 out of 5 stars Where's "Christmas with Friends", November 26, 2008
By Steve Richardson (Sierra Vista, AZ USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was excited to see this collection then very depressed to see the "Christmas With Friends" special was not included. If you don't remember, this was a 30-minute special, mostly music from Doc and the band, and "The Night Before Christmas" narrated by Ed Mcmahon. NBC used to show this on or around Christmas night, when Johnny didn't put on a Tonight Show. The CD of the music is available, but I'd love to have a copy of the show on DVD. This seemed like a natural place to put it, but no such luck.

Another disappointment in the largely disappointing series of Carson DVD's.
