Summary: An absolute scream!! A great bargain for nearly 3 hours..
Review: "Say your prayers, cause we're going up your stairs!"I'm not sure if this is an original concept, but it is a SCREAM nonetheless. Barry Humphries, Dame Edna, does a grand job with costume, wit, audience interaction, humor and even wrote the theme song. His facial expressions and comedic timing are unmatched! He takes unsuspecting ladies from the audience, who think they are going to play a quiz show about houses, and actually takes the viewers on a LIVE TOUR of the interior of their homes. It's a riot!! The show gets permission from the "sneaky" husband and they film while the wife is away. All the dirty laundry, and YES, there is some of that, is aired!! I haven't watched Part II yet, but I can't wait. From the reviews I've read, Part II is even more funny! My stomach may never recover. Bottom line: $26.00 is a bit expensive for a DVD, but the comedic SHOCK value is priceless....and with six episodes for DVD, think of it as a little over four bucks a show...a good value for all the laughs!

Summary: One of the funniest shows I've ever seen!
Review: Dame Edna's neighbourhood watch is well worth the money. It's one of the most imaginative TV shows you'll ever see. Her wit is at top form here. You'll laugh and laugh and cry for more when it's finished. Why in the world this show was never brought to the US I'll never know. Dame Edna's humor must be just too sophisticated for a wide US audience. You have to listen closely and be really sharp to get all the inside jokes. This tape will become one of your favorites. Buy it will confidence that your money will be well spent!

Summary: Spend Your Money on Tickets to Her Show, Instead
Review: Enter w/ caution, possums... If you're expecting anything like her touring show performances, you won't be finding it here. Although I've been a fan of Dame Edna for years, I was completely unfamiliar with "Neighbourhood Watch." Now that I am, I can only say I was a bit disappointed. As noted by others, the first episode was hysterical, poor sound quality aside; the second episode was funny; thereafter, it's mindnumbing and repetitive. I watched it all the way through just to see if I could take it. Go see her live or buy her book instead - this one's a rental at best.

Summary: Laugh out loud funny!
Review: Having been a fan of Dame Edna's for years (and recently having the privledge of seeing her Broadway show in the first row center!) I loved this DVD. I can't remember when I laughed this hard, and pull it out when I am feeling a little blue to cheer myself up. From the gum on the hutch to the erotic dining room, you will laugh yourself silly! I want more!

Summary: MUST HAVE for fans of British comedy!
Review: I admit I am a fan of Dame Edna, but this DVD was better than I could have imagined. I haven't laughed this hard in years! I agree with the previous reviewer. If this program doesn't make you laugh, then you are already dead. Money well spent. The only complain I have is I would like to see MORE, MORE, MORE of these Dame Edna programs!

Summary: She's a Real Scream!!!
Review: I think Dame Edna is a real PEACH!!!
This disk is hilarious! She's fantastic live...but in a pinch, you can pop in a disk and enjoy her in the privacy of your own home!
