Summary: Fantastic Retrospective--Part One!
Review: This DVD highlights just a comparative few of the very special moments of the classic Ed Sullivan Show on television. It is a real treat to own and watch; the viewer plays and can replay a classic comedy routine by Jackie Gleason as well as countless novelty acts. Ed Sullivan exercised enormous control over the show and the result is quality entertainment. A very young Julie Andrews sings "I Could Have Danced All Night" from My Fair Lady during a episode in 1956. Sammy Davis Jr. and Ella Fitzgerald sing together in another wonderful clip. The Beatles. The Rolling Stones. Some of the clips are in black and white but it doesn't diminish the viewer's enjoyment one bit. The quality of earlier color video clips is not as good as I had wished it be but color tv wasn't up to today's quality standards at that time. Although the DVD show is 98 minutes long it goes by as if it were just a few minutes. Included is a rare interview with Ed Sullivan and his wife from 1958. I would strongly recommend this DVD as a BUY! for those who want to reminisce or for anyone who wants a splendid introduction to the talents of that time.

Summary: The Very Best
Review: This is a great compilation from the Ed Sullivan Show featuring 80 minutes of music and comedy sketches. The highlights for me were ?"She Loves You" (the Beatles), "Hound Dog" (Elvis Presley), and "Fortunate Son" (CCR). The only drawback is that none of these performances are complete. But it's still a worthwhile investment for anyone who loves Ed's show and wants to see it again.
