A disapointment. Find another Kaufman DVD as this will not make you happy.
June 2, 2008this is truly classic andy kaufman. as usual, tony clifton steals the show (this time as a puppet voiced by bob zmuda), but the whole program is really funny. if you like kaufman, buy this dvd.
January 18, 2007I saw Andy Kaufman on TV several times in the 1970s, when he was extremely funny. On this show, however, he seems to be intent upon embarrassing himself. The only good two minutes was his Elvis impersonation; otherwise, this is flat, unfunny, almost an insult to the audience.
January 17, 2006I'm a huge Andy Kaufman fan, and I was really looking forward to seeing this. The only thing worth watching on this one-hour show, was the Elvis impression! The other 58 minutes of this one-hour show, was boring and not funny at all! Thank God I didn't buy this! I'm going to rent the midnight special next, it has to be better than this dud!
October 22, 2005I saw this when it originally aired on PBS, taped it, and taped it when it was rerun, about the time Man on the Moon premiered. So I have it on VHS. Don't know if this DVD has extras--but the show itself is wonderful!! I think it is the best of the Andy shows. Andy had wanted to make this a regular show, and it's too bad that he didn't accomplish that. It was hilarious! It starts off with the show's last 5-or-so minutes, making you think you missed it all, coming in late. But no...
The Beverly Hills Museum of Broadcasting also screened this ( as well as Andy's Special ) as part of a tribute to him, pre-Man on the Moon. WORTH BUYING.
