Funny, but not the whole HBO show! I've been searching for YEARS for this HBO comedy special from 1986. I thought this was it... and it is, but only PART of it. Bob Nelson's football routine from 1986 was the funniest comedy ever. IT'S NOT ON HERE. Only the Jiffy Jeff boxing part is included. It's still funny, but it's not the football routine. Also, the Sam Kinneson part is funny but it's not the one I was looking for either. I'm pretty bummed.
More of Rodney needed It was interesting to see the talent that Rodney found. Besides being great himself, he also tried helping aspiring comedians. Rodney went to my public school and lived in Kew Gardens, Queens and I know he strugged hard for a long time until he became famous. I wish that the DVD had a bit more of Rodney and shorter pieces of the others.
great DVD couldn't find in any store!!! Very happy to finally locate this very funny classic!!
Crystal Ball into the future of American Television Brilliant, completely and entirely brilliant. This DVD is almost a crystal ball into the future of American television; while many claim the Johnny Carson show as the launching pad of many a career, this is almost a collection of those great talents. Jerry Seinfeld, Rosanne Barr, Sam Kinison, and the late Bob Nelson and Robert Townsend weren't just influential to American culture and television they molded and created it. The only thing I wanted after watching this was more, the bits were only about 5 minutes a piece.
Classic Rodney If you are a Rodney fan - this should be part of your library. Rodney was in his prime in the 80's - and this is a fun and rare look back when he was in top form. If you want to see some classic Rodney stand-up, he is also featured in The Best of The Tonight Show - Stand-Up Comedians (2 Discs)
