Rico Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 Heads-up for all the Rodney fans in here... I just saw this is being released next week, pretty much under the radar, nobody's talking about it at the DVD sites. What a great Christmas present to give & receive! The Rodney Dangerfield "Ultimate No Respect Collection" features many of the beloved comedian's TV specials and performances. This 3-DVD set includes over 8 hours of laughs. Fans will be reminded that nobody did stand-up comedy better than Rodney...he was the master! Being released for the first time ever, these shows are the only non-movie Dangerfield material available. In development for quite some time, the content was selected and approved by Rodney himself. So let's begin with the end - as the producers of this DVD definitely saved the BEST for last! Included at the end of Disc 3 is Rodney's Act - NEVER BEFORE SEEN or available. The Act is classic, uncensored, irreverent Rodney - just the way everyone loved him! Coming straight from Dangerfield's personal collection, Rodney wanted people to see this show. Now, thanks to Rodney's wife Joan - viewers can share in something that is truly extra-special and ultra rare! Now preserved on DVD, Rodney's Act will live on forever! Content included: Disc 1: ORIGINAL ABC NETWORK SPECIALS - It’s Not Easy Bein' Me (1981) - I Can’t Take It No More (1983) - Exposed! (1984) Disc 2: HBO CABLE SPECIALS (contains some strong language and adult humor) - It’s Not Easy Bein' Me (1986) - Nothin' Goes Right (1987) - The Really Big Show (1991) Disc 3: RARE RODNEY (contains some strong language and adult humor) - Opening Night at Rodney's Place (1989) - This Is Your Life honoring Rodney (1981) - A long-lost segment of Rodney on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson! - Rodney’s Act – Very rare and never before seen, this classic 1995 stand-up routine was taped at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
nobody Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 The publisher doesn't think they will sell very well - they're making the DVDs out of cardboard.
Gavin in Va Beach Posted December 1, 2004 Posted December 1, 2004 If those HBO Specials are his 'Young Comedian' shows, I'll buy it just for Bob Nelson's Football skit. Funniest damn thing I've ever seen. "Football is my life. I loves football. I loves to play football on the football field...WITH a football."
