Rating: 4 stars
Summary: SOOO DORKY
Review: What is up with that last review? Does that make ANY sense at all???

Anyway, this show is so lame! I wasn't laughing with it, I was laughing AT it. I had to watch it when I was alone because I would never be able to face my roommate again if he caught me! All the songs were obviously lip-synched. Acting was BOORRRING. I can see why Eve Plumb didn't want to do this! Worth watching for a good laugh.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Yes. It's THAT bad and groovy.
Review: When this DVD came, I ran over to my DVD player, put it in and sat, transfixed for an hour and a half. This HAS to be the best example of "OMIGAWD WHAT WERE THEY THINKING??" anywhere! Some highlights: (but not all of them!)

1) The CLOTHES they were wearing. 70's 70's 70's. Bellbottoms! Leisure suits! wide ties! Check out Greg's hilarious padded suit during the "Attitude Dancing" number.. and Greg's sexy chest hair since he insists on keeping the first 3 buttons of his shirt open. 2) The SONGS: I just LOVE how they managed to mix in Donna Summer's "Love to Love you Baby" in with their rendition of "Baby Face". Other highlight - 2 versions of "The Hustle!" 3) The 70's references: To show how HIP they really are references are constantly made about other 70's icons. Baretta, The Odd Couple, Led Zepplin, Happy Days (Always wanted to see Donny Osmond as the Fonz? Well now's your chance) and, most especially, Welcome Back Kotter (watch Tony Randall's sharp delivery on "Up your nose with a rubber hose") are all mentioned. 4) The INEPTNESS of it all! Consistently filled with goofs, you wonder where the editors were that day. (Watch Greg wipe out during the rollerskating number, yet everything continues as if nothing happens) The water ballet stuff is rather strange too. Who asked for THAT?

An essential DVD to have for anyone remotedly interested in the 70's. :)

Happy Viewing!

Summary: Utter Craziness!
Review: When you are having a party, pop this into your DVD and just watch as the entire congregation of guests begins to transfix its gaze on the television. If you want to know what the episodes are like, read the other reviews. I just wanted to mention that not only are these 2 episodes hilariously campily silly, the audio and video quality are SUPERB. Considering this was a crappy '70s show that has probably been laying around in a vault for twenty years, Rhino gave it very nice treatment when transferring it to DVD. Very clean images, which make the 70s decor even more disturbing that one could imagine. Also included on the DVD is an interview with Mike Lookinland (Bobby) and Susan Olsen (Cindy), who talk about their days doing the BB and the BBVH. Not to be missed!!!!!!!!
