Customer Reviews of The George Carlin Collection

The best...
Comedy will never see another George Carlin. Today's comics seem to be focused on tired old Jerry Seinfeld themes(what's up with vcr's?, what's up with count chocula?). George can take everything from political issues to bodily functions and make it all hillarious. This boxed set has a whole bunch of stand ups, and none are the same. You can laugh at things he said in the 70's and then laugh again at things he said in the 90's. This DVD is 5 star because nothing is similar. All the stand ups are different and they are all great. Buy this if you want a great comedian with a style that will never become tired or boring. He's great.

FINALLY! The main body of George's routines are on DVD!
Even if you consider yourself a casual fan of George Carlin (Which is highly unusual, either you hate him, or you love him) you will love this set!

I am finally able to throw out, those old worn out VHS tapes for this wonderful DVD set. Sure the picture is not great, and the sound is 2.0 Dolby, but thats all you need for stand-up. This set also goes well with another DVD "Doin it again/Jammin in New York" which features some of Carlins newer material. And he is one performer who you can't say wheither or not his new stuff is better than his old stuff or vice versa, his material is timeless. It has always been funny, and always will be funny I imagine.

Now we just need to get the rest of his material on DVD(You are all Diseased, Back in Town ect.).

Get this set! You won't be dissapointed, in fact, if you don't laugh at all, consult your local Doctor or Therapist.

Classic Carlin - but overdoses of repetition
I was excited by the promise of this set - hell who would not at the prospect of 4 -5 hours of Carlin?

Carlin has wonderful timing and a wicked and wacky grin that precedes anyone of his reflections on the absurdity of the human condition that he delivers with a complete mastery of American idiom.

This is a collection that is hard to ignore for a die-hard fan like me - but suffers from repetition of many of his classic pieces - like "Words they won"t let you say on TV" to "Stuff" especially since his delivery of his masterworks does not vary greatly from one performance to the other. The editors must have been sleeping.

But if you have the cash, splurge.
