 Rating:  - I've always loved George!I've always loved and admired George so of course this review may be a bit bias. This particular dvd is a conglomeration of years and different venues. For instance the 'dirty word' pops up several times during this dvd but from a different time and place. He just adds to them. It's nice to see George while relatively young and see him age. But the humor doesn't change. His outlook on the world so matches my own, I only wish I could have made a living like he did. He has such a way of ... Read More Rating: - Heavy Influence. I used to watch George Carlin a lot when I was a kid. We regarded him as being quite risqué (lol) but today, I must admit, his brand of humor seems rather dated.

George Carlin is my personal favorite comedian and it's as good as Robin Williams-Live on Broadway.Recently, I heard that nowadays he wants to be taken more seriously.I think he would be very good in something serious. That's just me. Rating: - The emperor is naked!This is my 2nd bunch of comments on this DVD, my first has not been posted, maybe it never will be. I hope not. I've thought the matter over. I've read a lot of reviews of Carlin since I discovered him the other day, and I've noticed that the people who worship him seem as a general rule to like violence in their "music" and their movies. (I've been reading other reviews by Carlin devotees.) I've also noticed that many if not most of the rave reviews (particularly one that praised his intelligence) ... Read More |
