Summary: The Suddenly Susan of the HBO lineup.
Review: The title of this Arli$$ release seems to indicate that it is the first of a series of "best of" DVDs. The surprising thing, however, is that I was unaware there was enough "best of" material to even fill a single DVD, let alone a set of them!The longevity of Arli$$ is inexplicable, just as it was unbelievable that Suddenly Susan ran for so long in NBC's coveted Thursday night lineup. Everything here is stale, from the hackneyed storylines, to the obvious Jerry Maguire overtones that may have been relevant in 1996, but have long since overstayed their welcome. Save your $$. This show ain't worth it.

Summary: by far one of the worst shows ever id give minus 5
Review: This was one of the first original shows that hbo came out with and their biggest mistake. Its only put out as a best of on 2 discs. Thats horrible. Its not funny, bad acting, the only thing that makes this show even watchable is the sports stars. If you get a chance watch mad tv they made fun of this dvd set on a sketch, now thats hillarious. If you are still interested in buying this set i believe it is sold at finer car washes near you, usually free with a $10 wash

Summary: DVD Collection Omits the Best Episodes
Review: Who can forget the side-splitting, sometimes raunchy (but hysterical) humor or Arli$$? Answer: The producers of The Best of Arli$$, Vol. 1. The episodes that appear on this DVD are fine, but they are far from the "Best" that Arli$$ has to offer.
How can the producers of this DVD leave off the episode where Rita feeds romantic lines to Arli$$'s football player client to deliver to his er, girlfriend? How about the episode where Stanley has to deliver a special gift to the IRS agent to keep Kirby out of trouble? This is Arli$$ at it's funniest!
Let's hope that Best of Arli$$ Vol. 2 more accurately reflects the comedy that made this show so special.

Summary: This is great stuff!
Review: Yes, I know...many snobby critics and magazines, along with SNL trashed this show over the years, but it was laugh-out-loud funny more often than not. Robert Wuhl created a memorable character, with great support from Sandra Oh and Jim Turner. The athletes (in their cameos) proved without a doubt they are not actors, but that was half the fun....watching them struggle!
A few of these episodes deserved to be award winners, and guests like Ed Asner and Ken Howard are at their best. Thanks HBO for seven great seasons....longer than many critics' careers!
