Title: Too bad about the prison thing
Review: I had this movie on VHS tape for a long time. Then I found it on dvd. Made me laugh so hard I had to change my pants!!! I could just see his wife "holding the yardstick like a Samari Warrior" and the brain damaged children looking surprised!"

Title: Still some of the funniest family-friendly comedy you'll find. Classic!
Review: This is a must-see in our family, has been since it was new. Cosby captures the family in full rhetorical color in ways everyone can relate.

Title: Bill Cosby is Still Himself, These Days.
Review: I was three years old when Dr. Cosby gave this performance for HBO. The following year came the first season of The Cosby Show. It took me over twenty years to learn how closely connected Bill Cosby Himself was to the creation (and duration) of The Cosby Show (especially the pilot episode). For me during the 80's, it only mattered that this special didn't include Phylicia, Sabrina, Lisa, Malcolm, Tempestt or Keshia. (And of course, there wasn't Geoffrey, Deon or Raven.)Then, we entered the 90's, and I fully awoke to the differences between situation comedy, film comedy and - ta da - stand-up comedy. Once I finally got the gist of stand-up routines, this show made all the sense in the world. And, I fully grew to love it. One of my favorite moments in the show is the segment, "Natural Childbirth." (It wasn't until right before I purchased my copy that I learned the origin of the cheer, "Push him out, shove him out, way out," which would appear in the Cosby Show pilot.) But, the reason I loved that segment best is that one of my siblings and I used to imitate Dr. Cosby's vigorous Lamaze breathing ("Push, push!). Between that chapter and the Dentistry topic, I almost started calling Bill "Bottom-Lip Cosby."When this show was first recorded, I was so curious what it was like to fly on an airplane. After watching the "Little Jeffrey' chapter, I'm glad I didn't. I may not have behaved any better as a four-year-old than that kid, if I'd flown. Now, in my adulthood, that experience would just imbrue my joyous childhood recollections - even though I may have behaved no better than Dr. Cosby's actual children behaved. Now, how did some of you other Pepsi Generation kids behave with your parents or each other?[And, it's not too often that you see envelope-controlled floodlights whose amplitude rises and falls based on what comes out of Bill's microphone.]Well, it's time to head for the dentist. As the good doctor says, "Thank God for gravity!"[On the way home, I'll probably stop at the pub to fill up my leg with liquar and befriend the toilet bowl. HA!!!]

Title: Conflicted
Review: Hard to watch, knowing what a creep cosby is, but the jokes are really funny. If you can separate the man from his art it's a classic performance.

Title: HILARIOUS
Review: This is by far and away my favorite comedy routine. 1983 classic humor, zero profanity, real life funny, down to earth brilliant. I gift this to friends that have families; 100% "we love it" feedback.

Title: Wonderfully funny and clean family entertainment
Review: Even after almost 2 decades this is still one of the funniest routines I have ever seen. The laughter starts in earnest with the dental visit and continues almost non-stop until the end. Almost every level of family life is included in this video, including childbirth to sibling rivalry. This is a wonderful video for when you are down and need a good lift too. There are very few comedians these days that can be this funny without being vulgar.I still remember the very first time our family sat down (as a whole which was somewhat of a miracle back then!), snacks and drinks at the ready and paper towels to wipe hands. Well, needless to say, the paper towels were used to wipe the tears from crying so much from hearty laughter and no drinks or snacks were ever really consumed. We were just too busy having a really great family night.There were 4 of us kids and the VHS wore out so we purchased another. We eventually got a DVD player and when this came out on DVD I bought it and it has been passed around the family so many times. One Thanksgiving, before our elders all passed, we had another family day that highlighted this video.It is a timeless classic and I'm tired of hunting it down when I want to see it. My next order will include this one, again! All these years and many, many viewings later, we still enjoy this and I'm just glad I won't be around when the will is read -- I really don't know who will inherit the first copy next! Take the chance and treat you and your loved ones to some classically hilarious Bill Cosby.

Title: Bill Cosby's a wonderful physical comedian
Review: Some of his stories/ routines may be slightly outdated at this point, but it's still hilarious. I'd heard some of the lines before but there's no amount of sound effect that can replicate the humor involved in just watching his facial expressions.I think the second half of the show was better than the first.I probably don't remember all the segments, but the section on drunks ("having a good time"), dentists, sons and daughters, and others kept my whole family entertained. There are a few slow points, but some of the segments take a little setup. Of course some sections were funnier than others, but as a whole, this is a wonderful sampling of some classic comedy routines.Parental note: There are a few curse words contained w/in, but mostly the show's just funny and practically timeless. If you've ever been to the dentist, you can relate to at least half the things he's talking about. I don't know if a teenager would find the same level of good humor in this work, but it would be interesting to hear their thoughts.I haven't laughed out loud that many times in a long time. Drink soda with caution while watching.Conclusion: Well worth the $. It's probably not something you watch then turn around and watch again and again on loop, but it makes a great gift for somebody else or for yourself.
