Title: Here's Johnny! DVD
Review: It is so fun watching the old sitcoms of the past. I have laughed so hard from some of the old jokes and skits that I could watch again. Many stars have died but watching it brings back so many memories. Johnny Carson was such a GREAT entertainer.

Title: The COMPLETE(!!) JOHNNY CARSON SET!
Review: If you love Johnny Carson as I did, and still do, you probably own, or have seen all of the popular clips and segments from The Tonight Show With Johnny Carson. And if you are like me, and crave and yearn to see complete shows of the Tonight Show, then this is "as close" as you are going to find. I say this because although there are many highlighted shows included in this wonderful collection, the shows contain the monologues, guests and musical entertainment, there are small sections missing from the shows. Johnny used to go to the desk after his opening and spend 20 minutes or so just goofing off with Ed, or Doc or Freddy, and those are not there. On certain shows, certain guests never come on. But that's probably because they were no factor and not very entertaining. Nonetheless, the set is awesome, has shows dated, and most of the famous shows are in this set. I like the way the box is set up, And it is a true addition to your collection, like me, whereas you can see JC in his prime through the years, and it is a great reminder of how great he was and what domination he had on late night. And remember, this collection has really old black and white shows out of New York, in great condition, and also you can follow the transition into the nineties when he was king in LA. As a side note, there is another collection for the Tonight Show. It has the curtains of the show on the box. Don't do like I did and get misled into buying that set because it is not good at all. Be sure you order the one that has Johnny with his sheepish smile, in a tux on the box to get the true collection of shows. Happy viewing!!!!

Title: J Carson CDs
Review: These are just delightful, and sometimes gut-wrenchingly tear-makingly funny. It's rather like watching JC live, (albeit without commercials)... some nights are great, some are just OK, and once in a while, they're sleep-inducing. But even with the trip down memory lane (Oh my gosh those plaid jackets!!) the current events remain horrifyingly the same, the humor is the same... only the names have changed. AND we get to hear some great performers- some before they were super-stars (or super-sized..).The sound quality is absolutely horrid on the very first segment (thus the 4 stars), but persevere! The remainder are fine. The video quality (on a relatively small flat screen) is quite good... not plastic, no pixellating, etc.And the once-in-a-while superb humor is worth every penny. Unlike the "best of" CDs, these show most (not all-- thus the 4 stars again) of the evening and so we get the rythm of the show, the spontaneity and interplay between guests. Much more better! So glad I got this... a good laugh is hard to find!

Title: I can watch this show and see how it evolved
Review: I grew up watching this show when it was happening live. I love that I can see many of the episodes again and also over the entire 30 years. When I miss this show I can pull this out and watch some episodes. I may even have episodes I have never seen in this group.

Review: There's nothing I'd like more than a website or cable station devoted to showing all of Johnny's shows, uncut. The man truly earned his King of Late Night moniker. But given that it would probably be too cost prohibitive to offer all the surviving shows (gotta give those "poor" performers who apperead on the show their royalties, you know) this is probably the best we'll get for now. While I agree with other reviewers that the shows are really cut down (and sometimes the editing is bizarre; interviews don't end, they just cut to the Carson logo and the show's over), I had to give this 5 stars because, as the Amazon stars say "I love it." Until the powers that be decide to issue more of Johnny's shows (complete, preferably) this set is the only place you're going to get a feel of what it was like to watch the Tonight Show. Johnny's plaid suits and Doc's funky threads from the 70s are almost worth the price alone 🙂 It's really too bad more people today don't get to see Johnny's show somewhere. When it comes down to it, if you love Johnny, you'll love this set. It's not perfect, mind you, but it's a glimpse back to a time when the humor was gentler, the guests classier and the host impeccable. Try to get past the abdridged shows and just turn down the lights and enjoy. Hi-yoooooooooooooo!

Review: A GOOD COLLECTION OF DVD'S BY WHICH TO REMEMBER JOHNNY CARSON. HE WAS VERY FUNNY AND NO ONE ONE CAN EVER TAKE HIS PLACE. HE MADE IT ALL SEEM EASY. AS BOB HOPE USED TO SAY THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES. AFTER jOHNNY CARSON DIED SOME WAY HOW THEY FOUND OUT HE HAD GIVE AWAY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND NO ONE KNEW ABOUT IT. HE WOULD READ ABOUT SOMEONE IN DESPERATE NEED AND HE HAD A WAY OF MAKING SURE THAT PERSON'S NEEDS WERE MET AND THE PERSON RECEIVING THE AID NEVER KNEW WHO IT WAS FROM.PERHAPS HE DID ALL THIS THROUGH HIS LAWYER. HE WASN'T LIKE MOST PEOPLE WHO HAVE WEALTH THAT THEY JUST KEEP FOR THEMSELVES AND WANT MORE AND MORE MONEY AND MATERIAL THINGS AND ARE NEVER SATISFIED WITH WHAT THEY HAVE AND DON'T CARE FOR PEOPLE IN NEED. JOHNNY CARSON SUFFERED FROM LOW SELF ESTEEM BELIEVE IT OR NOT. READ A BOOK ABOUT HIM YOU WILL FIND IT VERY INTERESTING.

Review: Although this item was as advertised, I was looking for the all time funniest moments from the "Tonight Show".I did not want to see the opening comments from Mr Carson, as well as his skits.I would not recommend this product, and found it not worth the money. Actually, one of the discs did not work.
