Kathy & Mo Show - Parallel & The Dark Side

This DVD is a classic - guaranteed to make you laugh. The extra material shows the beginnings of Kathy & Mo's comedic material and characters. This isnt as funny but is interesting because you see how far Kathy & Mo have come with their acts and turned into the comedic professionals they now are. The main show begins with Kathy & Mo as angels and progresses from there. This show is probably one of the funniest I have ever seen. I can watch it over and over and never get tired of it. Hooray for Kathy & Mo - excellent. June 14, 2007

Kathy & Mo Show & "NO Show"

I have been in love with Kathy Najimy and Mo Gaffney ever since their groundbreaking arrival heralded by their HBO special PARALLEL LIVES. Through the years I had heard rumors of a sequel or second part on HBO that I was never able to catch. FINALLY, I have seen it. I can't say that is was worth the wait.

If THE DARK SIDE had been the first one released, it would have been amusing and fun to watch, but not one for the record books. Unfortunately PARALLEL LIVES came out first and blew the doors off, leaving quite large shoes to fill the second time around. The intuitive nature and rapport that exalted any exchange between the two of them during PARALLEL in its entirety does not spark and was not present in THE DARK SIDE.

A Glimmer of the bond between the two was intermittent in the extras and outtakes. With no great production quality demonstrated in this bonus feature the old routines are charming and give us some insight to the Kathy and Mo we now know and adore, but nothing to write home about.

A MUST BUY and well worth the money for PARALLEL LIVES ALONE, the second feature of THE DARK SIDE is not necessarily a plus. My suggestion is watch DARK SIDE first then PARALLEL LIVES for maximum enjoyment.

Outstanding

This show is hilariously real. It takes every day events and stereotypes, and puts them into truly amusing situations February 15, 2007

Hilarious montage of wit and views on life!

The first time I saw The Kathy and Mo Show was in 1992. I laughed until tears rolled. From the brilliant opening act of the two angels discussing how human beings should be created, to the genious of the characters they create, this collection is wonderful. Maddie and Syvie, Sister Woman Sister, Hank and Karen Sue, and the ingenious Angels "inventing" humans...all of these acts were hilarious. Kathy Najimy is a comedic genious. The productions filmed by audience members aren't the best quality (Dark Side=3 stars), but, the stage productions filmed professionally (Parallel Lives=5 stars!) are fine. Buy this and watch it any time you need a big lift! February 7, 2007

I LOVE THIS SHOW!

I am still excited that this was released on DVD with both shows. Serious comedy that makes you think. Wonderful. January 30, 2007
