The sun will never set on Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello, The recording star from Philadelphia and the former Mouseketeer give a master class in chemistry in five Beach Party films that make up the bulk of this swinging eight-film box set. Beach Party (1963) helped to usher in a new wave of teen exploitation films that were far more fun and frolicsome than the rock and roll and juvenile delinquent films that preceded it. Frankie rents a beach house for himself and Annette's Dolores. He is stunned to learn that she has gotten cold feet and allowed the whole gang to hang out there. So Frankie decides to "dig somebody else," and Delores takes up with Robert Cummings, an anthropologist studying the sex lives of teens. All ends happily, and chastely. Harvey Lembeck, whose credits include Billy Wilder's Stalag 17, introduced his recurring series role as bumbling biker Eric Von Zipper. Surf guitar god Dick Dale provides accompaniment. Vincent Price pops up as Big Daddy to say, "Bring me my pendulum, kiddies. I feel like swinging." Beach Blanket Bingo (1965) is the magnum Party opus as Frankie goes sky-diving, Bonehead (Jody McCrea) falls in love with a mermaid, Linda Evans sings, Paul Lynde is snide, Don Rickles insults, and Frankie and Annette sing their classic, "I Think, You Think." Bikini Beach (1964) takes a swipe at the upstart Beatles with Frankie in a dual role as British pop star Potato Bug. Muscle Beach Party (1964) was Stevie Wonder's first film, and Peter Lorre's last.

How to Stuff a Wild Bikini (1965) marks the end of an era, with Frankie, off in the Naval Reserves, getting help from witch doctor Buster Keaton in keeping interloper Dwayne Hickman away from Annette. Annette's absence is keenly felt in Ski Party, but James Brown performs, "I Feel Good" and Lesley Gore sings her top-40 hit, "Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows." Frankie and Annette were reunited at the racetrack in Fireball 500 (1966), but Fabian is a third wheel as a rival for Annette. Thunder Alley (1967) (from Richard Rush, director of the cult classic, The Stunt Man), is another car-racing vehicle that pairs Annette and Fabian, but by now the thrill is gone. Frankie and Annette are as indelible a screen couple and as inseparable in the public's imagination as Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers or Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy. What is the secret to their enduring appeal? The last line of Back to the Beach (1987), an unsung gem unfortunately not included in this set, sums it up. Frankie and Annette walk together along the beach for the last time. Frankie turns to the camera and asks, "Are we the corniest couple in the world, or what?" --Donald Liebenson

Frankie and Annette collection.......2007-08-27

I purchased this collection as a gift for a friend of mine, who is a huge fan of all those "beach party" movies. Being able to purchase the entire collection for her, and seeing her face when she opened it rates this purchase as a 5 star find! The price was very reasonable and delivery was super fast!

60's flashback.......2007-08-24

These were my altime favorite movies to watch as a kid growing up. I always watched them on the Million Dollar Movie or Saturday Afternoon Matinee etc. What's more fun than Annette, Frankie and VonZipper romping around. Good clean fun. What's funny is how I remember the guys looked so vintage back in the 80's & 90's, now they'd fit right in today stylewise. The girls have the big hair to overcome, lol. Classic stuff.

TV screen size.......2007-08-13

I was very disappointed to find the these are not the from the theater release verions, but the modified for TV versions.

frankie & annette.......2007-08-10

This was a birthday gift for my 27 year old daughter. I haven't watched it yet, so I can't really review it. She seemed excited about getting it, as she loves these old movies, but was disappointed to note that this grouping did not include her all-time favorite of the group, "Back to the Beach."

So Retro !.......2007-08-09

I grew up in the 60s and watching these Frankie and Annette beach movies brought back great memories! A definite must have for anyone collecting 60s memorabilia!

Philip Kaufman's intimate epic about the Mercury astronauts (based on Tom Wolfe's book) was one of the most ambitious and spectacularly exciting movies of the 1980s. It surprised almost everybody by not becoming a smash hit. By all rights, the film should have been every bit the success that Apollo 13 would later become; The Right Stuff is not only just as thrilling, but it is also a bigger and better movie. Combining history (both established and revisionist), grand mythmaking (and myth puncturing), adventure, melodrama, behind-the-scenes dish, spectacular visuals, and a down-to-earth sense of humor, The Right Stuff chronicles NASA's efforts to put a man in orbit. Such an achievement would be the first step toward President Kennedy's goal of reaching the moon, and, perhaps most important of all, would win a crucial public relations/morale victory over the Soviets, who had delivered a stunning blow to American pride by launching Sputnik, the first satellite. The movie contrasts the daring feats of the unsung test pilots--one of whom, Chuck Yeager, embodied more than anyone else the skill and spirit of Wolfe's title--against the heavily publicized (and sanitized) accomplishments of the Mercury astronauts. Through no fault of their own, the spacemen became prisoners of the heroic images the government created for them in order to capture the public's imagination. The casting is inspired; the film features Sam Shepard as the legendary Yeager, Ed Harris as John Glenn, Dennis Quaid as "Gordo" Cooper, Scott Glenn as Alan Shepard, Fred Ward as Gus Grissom, Scott Wilson as Scott Crossfield, and Pamela Reed and Veronica Cartwright are superb in their thankless roles as astronauts' wives. --Jim Emerson

The Right Stuff (Two Disc Special Addition).......2007-09-05

I had seen the movie when it was in the theatres and enjoyed it. The product from Amazon arrived quickly and was in 100% excellent shape. The reason the rating is only 4 stars is not because of the service which was 5 stars, but the movie has many technical errors caused by 1 - Tom Wolf's book and 2 - scenes with equipment that was not around when the movie takes place. Minor stuff really.

GREAT MOVIE, The second disk was fun, but for the price the movie was what I wanted.

If your interested in the early days of the manned space program, BUY THIS MOVIE, then get a copy of the book, then read MOON SHOT and WE SEVEN.

The Right Stuff - is a classic!.......2007-07-23

I had this movie on VHS and finally bought the DVD. Worth every penny and could watch this over and over again!

Grown-up? You bet. (Inappropriate for kids? No.).......2007-04-29

Any reviewer who insists that this movie contains content inappropriate for "students of any age" is exaggerating. "The Right Stuff" is rated PG. Any bright pre-adolescent would understand this film; certainly any high-school student would. It contains no sexual language that a 21st-century kid would not have already heard on American broadcast TV. In fact, the astronauts in the film talk like the 1960s "squares" they were, all too unwilling to use ugly language. They speak in metaphors and euphemisms, just as ordinary men of that era did.

"The Right Stuff" is patriotic, serious, wry, funny, observant, and utterly grown-up. It accurately depicts men and women confronting adult issues of ambition, celebrity, marriage, and brotherhood. What it is NOT...is a live-action movie with a cartoon mentality, like so many films deemed appropriate for school-age children by holier-than-thou "reviewers."

They were just men....or were they?.......2007-04-17

Scott Glenn, Ed Harris and Dennis Quaid are three wonderful reasons to watch this movie. Based on the book by Chuck Yeager, this movie depicts 1950's and 1960's mentality and eagerness to beat the Russians at the space race.

Sputnik scared the crud out of America, but we soon had our champions. The Mercury Seven!

The movie doesn't ooze with as much jealousy as was written in the book, but the focus of Yeager on his own accomplishments during this time really comes off as a "look at me" attempt. He was given a chance to be part of the Mercury Astronaut core and apparently turned it down. One of America's best pilots, one of its uniformed sons, denying his country's call at their most pivotal hour??? There's nothing heroic in that act.

There's plenty of heroism, however, in the storied accomplishments of the Mercury Seven. And to be fair, Yeager went on to accomplish quite alot in the field of Aviation. Either way, the story is one that is important to our nation's history. I thoroughly enjoyed it, the truth and the fiction of it.

The Right Stuff is Real.......2007-04-02

Through great casting and near-perfect screenwriting, this movie presents the transformation of the U.S. following WWII to a space exploring nation. The movie is based on a stellar book by Tom Wolfe, and the depictions of his pilots-cum-astronauts as they struggle to retain their pilot identities within the confines of training for these first probes into space ring true. Poignantly, their experiences are contrasted with those of perhaps the greatest test pilot of that generation, Chuck Yeager, who never became an astronaut.

B movie maverick Larry Cohen always enjoyed slipping a little social commentary into his genre pictures, and the satirical sci-fi/horror comedy The Stuff is no exception. A mix of Invasion of the Body Snatchers and The Blob, The Stuff is an insidiously addictive, low-calorie dessert sensation that soon wins the hearts and minds of the nation, but mostly the minds. You see, to borrow a title from another Cohen classic, it's alive.

Michael Moriarty is an industrial spy with questionable ethics and a certain moral flexibility behind his disarming drawl. "No one is as dumb as I appear to be," he informs his newest client, a snack food CEO who wants the secret of The Stuff. Needless to say he becomes the film's hero, a smart-talking everyman battling a compromised FDA and a corporate baddie who sees dollar signs in every Stuff snarfing zombie he converts. Cohen's satirical swipes at consumerism, advertising, and the ethics of corporate profit come fast and furious, if not exactly focused, and help drive the film past his--at times--sloppy direction. Moriarty's energetic performance is hilarious, and his rag-tag crew includes Andrea Marcovicci as an advertising wunderkind (who improbably falls in love with Moriarty), Saturday Night Live alum Garrett Morris as "Famous Amos" parody "Chocolate Chip Charlie," and Paul Sorvino as a commie-hating, conspiracy-spewing militia leader.

The DVD features commentary by Larry Cohen along with trailers and detailed biographies. --Sean Axmaker

bad horror... not GOOD-bad though........2007-07-19

There were only a couple of good moments in this movie.- most of it was horrible plot buildup.
I like a lot of bad movies, becuase even if they are bad you can make fun of them with friends.
This one will leave a large group of people speechless and angry.

If you really have to see this movie- and don't want to listen to my opinion- the one scene that is worth it is the scene with Chocolate Chip Charlie at the end.
hahahahaa

Anyhow, don't get this movie... Instead, get Army of Darkness. Now, that's funny!!

Yum, yum more Stuff.......2007-06-30

This classic 80's B movie is really quite entertaining over 20 years later. I first watched this movie when I was a kid and I remember how much it captivated me. It was definately one of my favorites. I recently bought the dvd version. The movie made me nostalgic for the classic B movies that were more common not that long ago. The concept behind this movie is very good. How it's played out is what makes it special.

The story is rather simple. There is somthing bubbling out of the earth. It's not oil it's some strange substance that resembles yogurt. But this substance is odd and causes people to become addicted to it. Although most people can't see any negative side effects. Actually the effects are positive. More energy and the ability to lose weight causes this products popularity to skyrocket.

I will save the story for those who haven't seen it. There is a whole new crowd of teenagers and other B movie watchers who should love it's cheesy acting and subpar special effects. Sometimes it doesn't take a multimilliion dollar budget to make a good film. Sometimes all it takes is a good storyline. This movie is well worth the $5.99 price tag and could easily become a popular title in anyones DVD library. Once you get some of the Stuff you won't be able to resist.

Not Cheesy Enough For Me........2007-06-03

This movie wasnt really what I was expecting.I dont know why its found under a zombie movie category because it has nothing even close to a zombie.The plot is pretty good.Its a good idea and a amazing film considering the budget.I just expected more from it.The 2 or 3 gory scenes it has (Especially Chocolate Chip Charlys' demise) were really really awesome looking.I just expected more from it.Bottom line,I thought the movie drags most of the time.Gets kinda boring.Ill probably never watch it again,but its still worth a look.

Mmmmm, tasty!.......2007-05-14

The Stuff is quite possibly one of the greatest films ever made. Mo Rutherford and Chocolate Chip Charlie are two of cinema's greatest heroes. Although the effects are sometimes of a poor quality, the story, the characters and the acting are (in most cases) fantastic. I read another review that claimed "...no intelligent adult should watch this film". Whoever wrote this should be truely ashamed of this merciless attack on one of the most terrifying and hilarious films ever made. If Mo Rutherford actually existed I'd have him over to their house to sort them out.
My only complaint about the film is that Chocolate Chip Charlie doesn't feature enough. A man with such a cool name should definitely be given a greater role. His immortal line, "My hands are lethal weapons", is one of the greatest pieces of dialogue ever commited to film. Charlie's horrific death was a twist I never seen coming and to this day it haunts my dreams.
So, to summarise: The Stuff is one of the greatest purchases I have ever made. A truely fantastic film that both terrifies and delights in equal measures. Highly recommended.

5 stars for cheese.......2007-01-04

for absolute cheese value only, i give 5 stars.
The storyline is practically non existent, and the acting ability of the cast really should have been questioned back in the 80's, but for a walk down memory lane I couldnt beat it. One of only two "adult" rated films in the UK that I saw before I legally could, so I am slightly biased, but I loved it (the other was Nightmare on Elm St).

Interactive play is crucial to infant development and, like most infants, young puppet Eebee loves to learn by doing with the help of his animated caretaker Kristy. Eebee explores everyday objects like rice, crumpled paper, a cardboard box, and a variety of balls by touching, waving, pushing, and ripping to explore ideas like cause and effect, taking turns, and pre-math skills like more and less, empty and full, and big and little. Kristy is the ever-enthusiastic playmate, following Eebee's lead by noting Eebee's interest, offering encouragement, making simple games out of materials at hand, and putting the concepts being explored into words. Music abounds in the background and in songs with lyrics written by the show's producer. Footage of real infants interacting with the same materials as Eebee is interspersed throughout the program to demonstrate how children from 6 to 24 months might react and learn in similar situations. Eebee's Adventures is a product of the latest research on early childhood development and serves both as a stimulating program for infants and as a jumping off point to help new parents play with their infants in a meaningful and educational way. Bonus features include a developmental perspective by early childhood development experts (exactly the same on each Eebee program), a play by play guide highlighting the skills and developmental ages featured in each section of the program, music clips, and an interactive musical game. (Ages 6 months to 2 years) --Tami Horiuchi

Description

eebee's adventures take you and your baby beyond letters, numbers and simple shapes. eebee's adventures start with questions such as: How do I...? What happens when ...? What if I...? What if you...?

Each adventure is designed to help you and your baby transform everyday play and exploration into learning that lasts. Filled with real-world situations that babies can actually understand, build on and learn from, these adventures guide both you and your baby along the exciting path of social, emotional, cognitive and physical skills development. In these adventures, eebee and playmates experiment with cups and scoops, paper and boxes, and balls and blocks to make a range of discoveries about the physical world around them. (6 months and up)

We love Eebee!.......2007-03-08

My 22 month old son absolutely adores Eebee. He's been watching him for a few months now and never tires of it. He has learned so much from the videos. My only complaint would be that there are only 3 videos!

unbelievable.......2006-04-14

my son is yonger than six months and has been watching for some time he gets absorbed by this he smiles & laughs at it as soon as it comes on we love it

Great Ideas!!.......2005-10-07

I enjoyed all of the fun ideas for playtime that you see with Eebee and the children. It was also interesting to get to hear an analysis as to why these skills are important. I think the relaxed and fun atmosphere that the children are playing in was also inspiring. I don't always feel that relaxed atmosphere in my house, but when I am playing with my daughter (8 mos.) the way they did in the video I feel relaxed. Now I have a lot of great ideas for diverting her attention when she is trying to grab the dogs' noses!

Our Children Were Entranced.......2005-09-10

I have two children. They both loved watching the DVD. It seemed the perfect pace and had a good mix of entertainment and education. I was never able to keep them occupied as well with Baby Einstein. Great product!!!!

Twin Mom.......2005-09-10

My 14 month twin boys are glued to the tv when we watch Eebee together! They giggle when they see little Eebee and love when Eebee plays with the ball. As a mom, I love seeing their faces light up when we watch this DVD. A must for all- I have to get the other DVD's now too.

New Orleans.......2007-06-16

Prefer live in Los Angeles instead of this DVD.

Poor Audio. Great Concert........2007-04-20

First, I have to say that the audio quality is poor. I got my system all set up to bump, like Maze was in my living room. What a disappointment! I adjusted my equalizer. I balanced. I did it all, but nothing rescued the audio from lowest depths of noise, distortion, and lack of dynamics. I got over it.

The concert was the B - O - M - B! For one thing, it proved that Frankie is the coolest person to walk the planet Earth. (Well, okay, Philip Bailey is right there with him.) I just love his groove. It was a great performance. Despite the audio quality, it still had that feeling that the band was in my living room.

What can you say about Maze's songlist? It was awesome!

Notice that I rate this DVD higher than both the Isley Brothers and Sade (I did write about those, didn't I)? They may have a better discography, but they don't perform it better. This is a great DVD, as long as you're just partying, and not picking on the audio. It's a "must buy" for old-schoolers like me.

Frankie.......2007-01-05

One of my best concert tapes, this one i recomend to all the fans of maze!! Great concert too!!

WONDERFUL!!!!!!.......2006-01-01

I enjoyed this concert. This whole concert is all of that. Frankie B. and Maze truly rocked the show. Words cannot describe. Frankie just have raw talent to get you up out of your seat. I would recommend this album to anyone who likes this group of musicians. My favorite performances are Look@California and Feel that Feeling you're feeling. But the best performance is 'Look at Ccalifornia'. Frankie and Maze really rocked the show with this song. I love this song they really rocked the show with this song. I watch this dvd and jump out of my seat. The quality is pretty good also, Also, this dvd contains some bonus footage some bonus music videos with some of my other favorites by the group Never Let You Down, We Are One, and Back In Stride. I love this dvd if you like this dvd then I would recommend that you buy Frankie Beverly Live in Los Angeles and also I recommend any MAZE fan to buy this dvd .

This Is NOT The Live In New Orleans I Know...........2005-05-19

Don't get me wrong this DVD is better than nothing but if you listen to the album (that's right I said album, will never buy the cd until it is no longer "the abridged version") it's not the same set. Now I could be crazy but I swear that I have seen the true "Live in New Orleans" on A&E or Bravo back in 1981/82 when the cable channel first started. They played the concert like everyday sometimes twice a day for about 2 to 3 months then never again. Another thing the concert they showed was outside like at a festival in New Orleans/SoCal or something in the daytime not in a arena. Up until then I had never seen Maze, didn't know who they were, only that when I was forever record shopping, there records always drew my eye cause of the six finger hand always on the front cover. So, after seeing Maze on cable 500 times at least, I was hooked and couldn't get Frankie's vocals out of my mind:-) Now I am 41 years old now and anybody I tell this to says I'm crazy that Maze was never on TV back then and that I must of been dreaming. Was I? I hope someone out there who loves Maze as much as I do can back me up. We need to get A&E or Bravo to release that version of Maze in New Orleans...I promise you folks it will blow this DVD out the door and into the trash can...I promise!!!!!

I loved being able to take a blast to the past, it would be great to have such fun. The movies were great and fun to watch. I can't wait to order more movies like this.

My copy is WIDESCREEN.......2007-04-02

I received my DVD the other day and watched both movies and enjoyed them very much. A few of the reviews here state "Wild Bikini" is full screen. My copy is WIDESCREEN as stated on the package. I don't know if they changed the format or what but BOTH of my movies are in widescreen as is shown on the dvd case.

Beach Blanket Bingo/ How to stuff a wild Bikini.......2007-03-16

Came in alittle after the rest of the order but in a decent time period. The movie was great. Fun to watch and very upbeat. Frankie Avalon is awesome.

Fun movies, incorrect labeling!.......2006-10-03

BEACH BLANKET BINGO is on one side of this DVD in Widescreen 2:35. HOW TO STUFF A WILD BIKINI is on the other side, but is in Pan and Scan, not the 2:35 listed on the packaging. However, fear not! There is a single disc release of HOW TO STUFF A WILD BIKINI which has Widescreen on one side, Pan and Scan on the other, and even though it's out of print, it shows up here at Amazon quite frequently. There is also a single disc edition of BEACH BLANKET BINGO, with P&S on one side and Widescreen on the other.

Heavy Influence. .......2007-08-25

I used to watch George Carlin a lot when I was a kid. We regarded him as being quite risqué (lol) but today, I must admit, his brand of humor seems rather dated. What we have to remember with Carlin is that he was a forerunner, and this DVD really makes you realize the type of influence he had on the great comedians of our day--particularly Jerry Seinfeld. He was a giant of the observational method, and laid the ground upon which many a great career has traversed. Carlin's delivery is also magnificent. His acting and presence made him transcend what seems to be so-so material. He's no Chris Rock, but he made an enormous contribution to comedy.

George's Best Stuff.......2007-01-10

A Readers Digest collection of mostly ancient bits of his youthful beginnings--much of the routines is dated, maybe funny then but our new youth may not relate. Still George, but he has certainly improved with age.

This is comedy like Robin Williams.......2004-08-13

Some of this stuff is from the 70's when George Carlin was young and in 1990, he looked a little bit older like in Scary Movie 3 where he looks like Santa Claus as "the architect". George Carlin is my personal favorite comedian and it's as good as Robin Williams-Live on Broadway.Recently, I heard that nowadays he wants to be taken more seriously.I think he would be very good in something serious. That's just me.

The emperor is naked!.......2004-03-24

This is my 2nd bunch of comments on this DVD, my first has not been posted, maybe it never will be. I hope not. I've thought the matter over. I've read a lot of reviews of Carlin since I discovered him the other day, and I've noticed that the people who worship him seem as a general rule to like violence in their "music" and their movies. (I've been reading other reviews by Carlin devotees.) I've also noticed that many if not most of the rave reviews (particularly one that praised his intelligence) are illiterate. A few reviews I agree with. Early, young Carlin was warmer, calmer, more human, more humane and just plain funnier. The comparison can be made on this DVD, because the last bit "Driving" was by an older Carlin. What were previously comical expressions on his face became grotesque manic grimaces, what was sly and warm became ferocious rage, what was controversial (and I get this also from the Jammin'/Doin' It DVD which I watched part of) became meaningless rantings. His early stuff was amusing (I prefer Bob Newhart) and I laughed some, it was not particularly insightful, some of his observations of life and things (eg the differences between dogs and cats, stuff, losing things) were clever and often dead-on. I obviously preferred the younger Carlin (and he was pretty then with all his hair, the older version simply didn't even look like him, whichever was the real him), and I thought the older Carlin was just an explosion of incoherent hatred. Vulgar (yay!), but to me not funny.

It's a Start, but it Could've Been So Much More.......2003-05-15

It is almost IMPOSSIBLE to successfully put together a "Best of Carlin" on CD or DVD. Why? Because it'd take up too much time. Carlin has done NUMEROUS bits that are now deemed classic, and personally I think almost everything the man does, is great. And yet, here is this DVD, "George's Best Stuff." Well, it is a start, but only covers SOME of the great things this very funny and unique man has said and done.

It's not a complete disappointment though. The bits and segments included are indeed funny. And, I love how a lot of the stuff included are from older shows and acts. I really do think Carlin shines the best in his older material, but the Carlin today is still very funny and on top of his game. It was nice to see some of these older bits from older shows, and I hope they come out on DVD sometime soon.

The DVD includes famous bits such as "Seven Dirty Words," "Stuff," "Al Sleet," "Dog Incident," "Fussy Eater," "Losing Things," "Driving," and much more. The DVD has a total of 17 chapters and adds up to the DVD being 87 minutes.

AH HA! There lies the problem. 87 minutes. ONLY 87 minutes?? 87 minutes for something with the title of "George's Best Stuff?" These 87 minutes should represent the entire comedy life of George Carlin? I hope not! Like I said, it's a nice start, but I think something of this magnitude should really be longer. There's so much that is left out on this DVD. So many classic bits that fail to appear on this package with the name "George's Best Stuff." The stuff that is included does indeed qualify as some of George's best bits, but I think there was a missed opportunity here. I really think more could've been done.

stinkin' hilarious.......2007-06-11

this is BY FAR the funniest stand-up comedy i've seen in years!!! literally, laugh out loud hilarious. i recommend it to anyone, especially those who love kevin james - it's clean AND funny - something rare in this day and age!

FUNNIEST STANDUP ROUTINE I HAVE EVER SEEN!.......2007-03-25

First of all let me say I am a huge Kevin James and King of Queens fan so I may be biased. However, I have seen tons of "Comedy Central Presents" routines and many hour comedy specials buy guys like Jeff Dunham, Christopher Titus, Dane Cook, etc and this is the funniest routine I have EVER seen. I have watched it at least 10 times and I still can laugh at it despite knowing every joke.

Kevin can make you laugh without using a sear word every other word. How does he do it? By telling jokes and stories about every day life. It makes it that much funnier when you can relate to jokes.

Bottom line: it may be expensive but it is well worth it. This is something you will enjoy over and over again.

Kevin (on this DVD) is GREAT, but...........2007-03-23

...I would not pay that much for this (or any other) DVD. I keep hoping that it will come out on iTunes. I just do not understand why they do not reissue it...I'm not paying some nutty scalper close to $100 for something they show on Comedy Central every so often. I can always just record it from there and watch it whenever I want!

KEVIN JAMES AT HIS BEST.......2007-01-01

If you like Kevin James in "King of Queens" you will absolutly love this. Kevin James is so funny about everyday issues. Love his body language. FUNNY FUNNY FUNNY

H-i-l-a-r-i-o-u-s!!!!!!.......2006-12-22

I don't know which is funnier on this DVD: Kevin James' material (normal everyday stuff that will make you laugh the next time it happens to you), or his delivery (from the facial experessions to the physical demostrations)...either way, this is a Fantastic, FUNNY DVD that will have you laughing throughout the entire performance, then wanting to share it with friends! Worth every penny and then some!Suitable for the whole family (and even the 'in-laws'!)...Buy it and enjoy it, over and over!!!!

We will always have the 70's.......2005-10-16

One night sometime in 2005 I was surfing the channels and came upon another one of those great PBS Pattie Labelle specials (Old School Soul Party Live) and decided to purchase the DVD (By the way it was great) if you have the DVD Titled: Super Stars of Seventies Soul Live with Pattie as host (you can buy Super Stars on Amazon) the later is just as good if not better. As I was saying after seeing the Stylistics I wanted to hear more of the oldies. I decide to buy the 70's Soul Jam Volume one, two and three. Now, first I must say all three volumes are very good. Volume one is ok but two and three are smoking! The first volume I believe the singers were warming up for "A Long Winters Night", their voices were a little shaky at first but believe me after that "It's On". The Stylistics is great on all three volumes. One thing that must be understood is that all the groups that were around in the 70's as they get older their vocals must fade. None of us will be the same 30 year from now "But I am sorry these guys are". Ok, now with that being said, the groups are Stylistics, Dramatics, Blue notes, Major Harris, Cuba Gooding, Delfonics and the Chi-lites. The Chi-lites without Ed Record are not the same please do not buy the DVD's for the Chi-lites you will be making a mistake. If you ever get a chance in watch the PBS special Title: Super Stars of Seventies Soul Live. Ed Record is singing with the Chi-lites in that Special I believe that was his last day view with the group before he died (could be wrong) "What a Man with a Voice". As I end I will say these groups sound very good just as they did in the 70's take my word I was there weren't you.

Complete rip-off!!!.......2004-05-17

Warning! Avoid wasting your money on this garbage! Stylistics without Russell Thompkins, Chi-Lites without Eugene Record, Harold Melvin & Blue Notes without Harold Melvin!!! Somebody should be sued for releasing such crap and so cleverly avoiding giving the customer these details anywhere on the outside cover. One only makes this horrible discovery after opening the DVD!

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED!!!.......2004-04-26

If you are a true fan of 70's Soul music, I would recommend avoiding this DVD. I had just watched a wonderful 70's Soul show on Maryland Public Television, and was hoping that this would be somewhat similar to that. I was really disappointed, to say the least! The sound quality is horrible, and the performances were pretty sub-standard, with the possible exception of the Stylistics. The Chi-lites totally destroy "Oh Girl." It was painful to watch this video! I would not recommend it to anyone!

the Show is nice but there could have been.......2004-03-01

more added to balance out all the songs&Acts that Performed. the Music was on Point&it was Great seeing&Hearing from Peeps that have Been Missed by myself&others for a Good Minute.I wish for a full overview&History section.Hopefully in the future it will come to pass.but this is a Good Setting for starters.
