5.0 out of 5 stars An astounding treasure, & an unheralded landmark DVD!, Feb 24 2001
This review is from: Howdy Doody Show (Full Screen) (DVD)
Thought lost for years after a fire wiped out their eastern storage facility, NBC (in connection with the good folks at Rhino) have given all of us who care passionately about preserving our televsion heritage an amazing treat-- they have reunited the two existing halves of the color videotape of the final Howdy Doody show (controlled for years by two separate parties) and released it **intact** to the home video market, as part of their 4-volume "Howdy Doody" DVD series. Make no mistake-- the other shows on the disc (culled from B&W film kinescope masters owned by the network) are fine programs in their own right, but **absolutely nothing** you see before will prepare you for the breathtaking feeling of being transported back in time by seeing Doodyville once again in "living color"!! All of your favorite characters (Howdy, Clarabell, and the vastly underrated Chief Thunderthud) are here, and they truly do come to life in this, their swan song episode. The hour-long special is beautifully written: by turns heartfelt and truly sentimental, but never mawkish; and even though the occasion is regrettable, there's no shortage of fun to be had on this program. And, as a final bonus, all of the original commercial ads have been included, along with the original "first version" NBC peacock opening, network ID's and network movie promos. No fan of classic television will be disappointed by this disc... it's quite simply one of the few "must-have" milestone DVDs to have come down the pike. Kudos to NBC & Rhino for doing this one exactly right!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars My kids finally know what I am talking about!, Mar 15 2002
By 
This review is from: Howdy Doody Show (Full Screen) (DVD)
For years I have trained my kids to respond to the question "What time is it?" with the answer, "It's Howdy Doody Time!". Now with these Howdy Doody episodes released on dvd and video, my kids finally know what I'm talking about! As a fan of the late-50's episodes, this is a real treat to be able to watch the episodes again with my younger children. This is nostalgia at its bets. My kids now are asking for Howdy Doody puppets!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Tape! Very well done!, Oct 20 2001
By 
This review is from: Howdy Doody Show:Clarabell Spe (VHS Tape)
As one who remembers the Howdy Doody Show, I have to say this this tape is absolutly fantastic! There have been other tapes over the years, but the source material for this collection is light years ahead of the others. The black-and-white kinescopes are sharp and clear. As a breathtaking bonus--and worth the price of the tape itself--is the final show presented from beginning to end FROM PRISTINE COLOR VIDEOTAPE! Wow! The last couple of years were pre-recorded on color videotape and this one not only SURVIVED, it was restored to razor sharpness considering that it is 41 years old!
Another reviewer mentioned "some flashes evident". That is NOT deterioration, as suggested, but merely the flaws of a still (at the time) primative chroma-key technique used during scenes containing special effects. A facinating and rare example of very early color videotape production, not to mention a last glimse of some beloved childhood friends, along with one of the most touching final moments in the history of television. If you own just one example of this historic and charming show, this is the collection. Very highly recommended.
