A MUST for Mel Brooks Fans - Fans of Steinberg and Segal are welcome too!, Mar 10 2012
By Steven I. Ramm "Steve Ramm "Anything Phon... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Susskind;David Show How to Be (DVD)
This two-hour episode of the syndicated "David Suskind Show" - the second in a series of "first time on home video" releases by S'more Entertainment (the first was Jerry Lewis interview - which I also reviewed on Amazon) - is VERY funny. I hasn't been available since 1970. If you look at the cover of the package, you will see three faces besides Susskind: Mel Brooks, George Segal (the actor, not the modern artist) and David Steinberg. But also on the program are author Dan Greenburg ("How to be a Jewish Mother"), pizzeria chain owner Larry Goldberg, and fashion designer Stan Herman (known as Mr. Mort in the business). Greenberg gets asked a bunch of questions but - though they are on the set, the other two rarely open their mouth. Than again, no one besides Brooks gets any chance to talk. Brooks comments on everything, whether asked to or not. And - as expected - he is hilarious. This is the period when the original film version of "The Producers" was out and "The 12 Chairs" was a recent event.Another reviewer commented that the image is grainy and not "restored". I'm not sure how much restoration could be done and - for me - it was the audio that counted and seeing this show what, for me, was the first time. (I saw many Suskind shows in the 1960s and 1970s but I don't remember this one.
Brooks did a one-on-one hour with Dick Cavett last year for HBO (NOT on video to my knowledge) and he did another one about 15 years ago that I saw on VHS. But, as I said, Brooks is all over this one and Brooks fans will want this DVD, I curious to see what show the folks at Smore choose for the next release.

Absolutely hilarious!, Feb 26 2012

This review is from: Susskind;David Show How to Be (DVD)
I first saw this program when it originally aired in 1970 (why yes, I'm old). I thought it was simply hilarious then and after all these years, it still holds true. I originally taped this when it was repeated back in the early 1980's on VHS, but that tape didn't last so I'm happy to have the DVD. The only thing I wasn't happy about was that the quality of the broadcast is terrible. It's watchable, but it was extremely grainy and not clear at all. If you're going to release a DVD of this classic episode, would it have killed them to re-master it and put out a decent copy? As it is, it looks like my VHS copy that I would have burned onto a DVD.

David Susskind Show, Dec 31 2011
By Ms. Susan L. Silverberg "starrmaker" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Susskind;David Show How to Be (DVD)
Before Charlie Rose, there was David Susskind on PBS. This is a classic show and you don't have to be Jewish to enjoy this.
