I Want More

What memories The Goodtime Hour brought back. Who do we write to to get all the shows released on DVD? I am reliving my younger years. Glen is such a talented performer and I remember some of the funny comedy skits with the guest stars. I was not disappointed with the DVD. I even remember the cute guy, Larry McNeely, who sat next to Glen on the bench when Glen sang all of his hits. Glen's present day comments show that he is just a down to earth guy and has not let stardom go to his head. Calling B.J. Thomas a turkey for his song beating "True Grit" at the Oscars. I personally thought the lyrics in "True Grit" made more sense than "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head".
All fans of "The Goodtime Hour" need to unite and have Glen make sure all of his "Goodtime Hour" shows are released. I will be waiting for more of his shows!!! June 30, 2008

Solid Entertainment

There are no serious disappointments on this DVD: It's a collection of solos and duets from one of the best 60s/70s variety shows on TV.

Campbell introduces each song with his memories and insights about the artists or songs; his deliveries are sincere and interesting.

One of the nicest things about this DVD is that each song is complete; there is no editing, no cutting off of the songs, no voice-overs.

I feel the best duet was with Linda Ronstadt; the best solo was Campbell's "By the Time I Get to Phoenix." Ronstadt provided a strong balance to Glen's sometimes overpowering vocals (as when he completely drowned out the duet with BJ Thomas). "Phoenix" was sensitive, superb.

I'm deducting one star because the viewer is sometimes toyed with, as when Campbell talks about John Wayne. I expected to see some footage of Wayne, but no, it was just a rather irrelevant introduction to Campbell's solo of "True Grit."

The bonus content could have been better. It is only a series of mildly interesting questions and responses; trivia, memories. No footage, no songs.

As others have stated, this DVD leaves us hungry for the complete shows. Still, it's highly recommended entertainment in the absence of those shows. May 20, 2008

Let's have some Good Times Again and again

After watching this marvelous stuff I've got the same complaint as some others, I need more. It's great quality sights and sounds of Glen at his peak highlighting himself or terrific duets. The versions are fantastic, save the closing song, which is added to give John Hartford his props for having written the most performed song in history. All the tunes are terrific but I found the standouts to be Glen singing harmony with B.J. Thomas on Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head, Folsom Prison Blues with Johnny Cash and two Dylan songs, All I Really Want To Do with Cher and the absolutely sensational Don't Think Twice It's All Right with Anne Murray that's got some super sharp Campbell style plucking. I need more and I'm willin' to pay, so come on Time/Life, get with it. For the time being though, I give this DVD my highest recommendation. March 7, 2008
