Hosted by Dean Martin, the acclaimed variety and comedy show was one of the highest-rated in television history, garnering 12 Emmy nominations and a Golden Globe award (Dean Martin "Best Actor in a Comedy Television Series" 1967), frequented by hundreds of guests from across the world of entertainment including legendary actors and actresses from stage and screen, pop and jazz singers, dancers and comedians. An entertainer who could do it all, Dean and his celebrity guests fascinated viewers with music and outrageous comedy skits. Whether it was Dean's familiar entrance sliding down a pole or the famous living room door (he never knew who would walk through), Dean captured everyone with his easy-going personality and incomparable charm and talent. Dean Martin was a television pioneer with his unique variety and comedy show. There were no rehearsals, no re-takes, and Martin simply just wasn't a host behind a desk -- he took part in virtually all the segments. Whether talking and singing with guests or performing a comedy sketch, Martin put every guest at ease and was able to coax even the most serious actors to indulge in their comedic and musical sides. Guests had a great time, word got out, and after the initial success of the show everyone wanted in on the act.

Title: Same but Different
Review: I purchased these dvd's hoping to get some different stuff from the ones released by Gunthy most of the stuff is the same with a few acts.Although i thoroughly enjoy the discs i enjoy the interviews most. It was said that you were gonna get some whole shows but not one of them i believe is the whole show start to finish and Deans songs have been cut also a lot of when he interacts with the guests is gone. I would buy them again cause i just love anything with Dean. These are a lot of the same but different!!!! You will enjoy them if you enjoy Dean!!!!!

Title: Old Deano
Review: I'm a Huge Dean Martin fan! with this being said, a must for a collector, or just nostalgic tv watching at it's best! You get to see actors that have passed and are on the top of their game in comedy sketches etc. A must for a "family " friendly dvd the whole family can watch! Good clean comedy at it's best! It was shipped out very quick, I received it in 2-days!!!Great Seller!

Title: Sell it, Dean!!
Review: Dean Martin's show was one that we seniors never missed and watched with our friends and parents in the days when many of us had just gotten a TV. I enjoy his singing just as much now and have most of it on Amazon music. Look at what they have. You won't be disappointed. And no, I don't work there. I just love The Rat Pack.

Title: Dino
Review: Every Saturday night here in Australia on ABC television I grew up watching the Dean Martin Show. I rarely missed an episode.To me it's all about the memories of a time long gone, of true talent and unequalled integrity. What you saw was what you got. And what you got was pure artistry.To all who value the "best" in entertainment, buy this.

Title: Best of Dean Martin Variety Show
Review: Our kids purchased this item for their Dad because he is insane over Dino (as he refers to him). It is a very good product and was definitely worth the money.I have ordered from Amazon in the past and have been pleased with this order as well as the past order. I will continue to use Amazon for purchases.

Title: Great to see Dean at his prime
Review: Great set of disks. I didn't want to pay the full price so finding them at a lower price was excellent.

Review: Enjoyable Dvd of timeless entertainment, but I'm not so sure this was 'the best of'. I remember some great comedy with George Gobel and the drunk airline pilot etc. Maybe the legal wrangling over his estate had something to do with it.

Review: The previous review stated that this is one of three DVD Sets to be released. What is not mentioned is the fact that the shows on this DVD Set (Purple Cover, ASIN# B004LWL0IE) are included in the 2-Disc DVD Set (Green Cover, ASIN# B004LWL0LG). It also appears that both of them are included in the 6-Disc DVD Collectors Edition Set (Yellow Cover, ASIN# B004LWL0NE). I found that info on tvshowsondvd website under news related to Dean Martin Show. So be careful if/when you decide to get the DVD's on this show. That caveat aside, The Best of the Dean Martin Variety Show is superb. I bought the 2-Disc DVD Set and my wife and I enjoyed it so much, I came to get more. Unfortunately, I now have to return this single Disc Set because it is a duplicate. I will probably get the 6-Disc Set even though I already have 7 Shows (they are not actually complete shows, only highlights). Not to be missed is Orson Welles magnificent, and serious, Shylock's soliloquy(?) from The Merchant Of Venice. Stunning!! The main attraction of this show is that everyone had so much fun and you can't help getting swept along with it. Highly recommended.
