"A perfect time capsule from when all things were possible and drinking was cool."


Product Description

The comic genius behind the legendary Rat Pack, and co-star of the original "Ocean’s Eleven," stars in this sparkling sitcom available for the first time on DVD in this exclusive collection authorized by Bishop. The Joey Bishop Show ran from1961-65. The second season marked a new beginning for the series, with new cast members, new characters, and a new premise that revitalized the series, making it a hit with viewers and Bishop fans. Bishop stars as New York talk show host Joey Barnes, whose professional life hilariously collides with his personal life. Abby Dalton joins the series as Joey’s new wife Ellie, with Joe Besser (The Three Stooges) as fussy building superindendent Jillson, and Guy Marks as Joey's conniving manager. Contains 34 episodes, each in "living color," along with vintage archival extras, including the series pilot.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great value for this little seen show........, October 13, 2004
By S. Phillips (Las Vegas, NV United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The opening credits are on the set, but they play just once when you load the disc before the episode menu comes up. A bad idea, I agree, and something which should be fixed on any feature releases, but the credits aren't really completely missing.

The series was filmed in B/W for the first season, switched to color film for seasons two and three, and then went back to B/W for the final year when it moved to CBS. I guess they weren't as interested in promoting early color TV as NBC was at the time. The color is a bit faded, but not that bad, and I would bet the color schemes were chosen for how they would appear on B/W sets because very few people had color TVs in 1962!

For 39 shows, I'm happy. This show isn't great but I've enjoyed the first few shows so far. It is all new to me since I wasn't born at the time....

1.0 out of 5 stars Questar gets an "F", October 24, 2004
By Yarby "yarby" (Medina, OH United States) - See all my reviews
How disappointing to find that, like Questar's release of "Make Room For Daddy", this set truncates the opening credits from each episode. Sorry, Questar....the shows should be in their entirety.

It's rather obvious that, contrary to another reviewer's claim, the deletions of the credits was not due to damaged source material, or both this and the "Make Room For Daddy" wouldn't have the same problem.

Fortunately, I read of this atrocity before purchasing this set. Until I find out that Questar has changed its ways, they will be added to my list of companies from which to NEVER buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars I can't stop watching!, February 14, 2005
By Vincent P. Staskel (Poughkeepsie, NY United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
To me, Joey Bishop is a true sitcom pioneer. This show reveals how a great troupe of actors can create the foundation of what comedy is today and in many ways how it should be today. Joey and his fellow cast members have the comedic timing and camaraderie that really delivers the laughs. This DVD set not only brings back fond memories but also a youthful perspective I have missed for so many years. This is television without the political correctness that distroys the shows of today. It's even fun watching the cigarette smoking. Bravo Joey and thanks.
