4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant comedians, September 18, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Complete Kathy & Mo Show - Parallel & The Dark Side (DVD)
The comedy team of Kathy and Mo consisted of Kathy Najimy and Mo Gaffney who first came onto the scene in the early 80s entertaining audiences in their hometown of San Diego, California. They went on to achieve much success in Off Broadway with their two-woman show which consisted mainly of skits featuring hilarious characters with strong views on feminism, gay rights, religion and abortion rights. "Parallel Lives" (1991) and "The Dark Side" (1995) became HBO specials. Both women went on seperately to achieve success in films and television.

This 2 disc dvd set contains both shows as well as video outtakes from some of their earlier shows. Also featured are two skits that Kathy and Mo did in 2004 when they briefly reunited. I find "Parallel Lives" to be much funnier and more satisfying than "The Dark Side." The former features the hilarious characters of Madeline Samuels and Sylvia Dunlevy, two elderly women who are broading their horizons by taking women's studies courses as a local junior college (these characters appear again in "The Dark Side"). And my favorite, the unforgettable Hank (Najimy) and Karen Sue (Gaffney), a drunk with a cigarette constantly dangling from his mouth and a young woman in a western bar, absolutely hysterical! The dvd features a commentary by Najimy and Gaffney.

4.0 out of 5 stars 3 Stars for Dark Side, 5 for Parallel Lives, January 9, 2007
By N E Hetrick "celt33" (Westland, MI United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Complete Kathy & Mo Show - Parallel & The Dark Side (DVD)
I'm glad I bought this DVD set. I've shown it to lots of friends and family members (my Da, in particular, enjoyed Mo's miming of a woman's typical morning, while my Mum thought Mo and Kathy's imitation of older students taking a women's studies course was hysterically accurate). My favorite line from Parallel Lives comes from the characters of the little-old-lady Women's Studies students, visiting a museum for a luncheon. One remarks on the appetizing appearance of something she presumes is a display for lunch, and the other, realizing it is an exhibit, says "No, no, my dear. (pats her hand) That's a [...] on a plate."
This is a MUST have set for mothers, daughters, Women's Studies enthusiasts, liberals, gays, ex-Catholics, current Catholics, feminists, activists, people who think outside the box, and those that love all of the above.

4.0 out of 5 stars Kathy & Mo Show & "NO Show", February 17, 2007
This review is from: Complete Kathy & Mo Show - Parallel & The Dark Side (DVD)
I have been in love with Kathy Najimy and Mo Gaffney ever since their groundbreaking arrival heralded by their HBO special PARALLEL LIVES. Through the years I had heard rumors of a sequel or second part on HBO that I was never able to catch. FINALLY, I have seen it. I can't say that is was worth the wait.

If THE DARK SIDE had been the first one released, it would have been amusing and fun to watch, but not one for the record books. Unfortunately PARALLEL LIVES came out first and blew the doors off, leaving quite large shoes to fill the second time around. The intuitive nature and rapport that exalted any exchange between the two of them during PARALLEL in its entirety does not spark and was not present in THE DARK SIDE.

A Glimmer of the bond between the two was intermittent in the extras and outtakes. With no great production quality demonstrated in this bonus feature the old routines are charming and give us some insight to the Kathy and Mo we now know and adore, but nothing to write home about.

A MUST BUY and well worth the money for PARALLEL LIVES ALONE, the second feature of THE DARK SIDE is not necessarily a plus. My suggestion is watch DARK SIDE first then PARALLEL LIVES for maximum enjoyment.
