"This is an outstanding series and well worth adding to anyone's TV sitcom collection. But why is the S'MORE Video company trying to pull a fast one here? The COMPLETE series of Good Morning World has actually been on the market since January 2006. I have it. This is the same situation as when Paramount "re-released" It's A Wonderful Life as a supposedly NEW 60th Anniversary Edition when in fact, it was the same EXACT disc that Republic Home Video released a few years earliier. If video companies can't sell the product, I guess they will now DISHONESTLY repackage it as a "NEW" item! Of course this new release is about 10 bucks cheaper than the original which is the price the should have sold it for in the first place.

"One of my favorite TV flops, and we all have them shows that that should have been hits but were not, is the 1967 series "Good Morning World." It featured Joby Baker and Julie Parrish as a young married couple in Los Angeles. Joby is David Lewis an early morning DJ on the popular radio show Lewis and Clark. Clark is Larry Clark played by Ronnie Schell. Larry is a confirmed bachelor but mostly dates the loveable, daffy neighbor Sandy played by Goldie Hawn in her first series. I know it was her next series, "Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In", in 1968 and her Oscar win in "Cactus Flower" that brought her more fame but it was really "Good Morning World" that started her on the road to superstardom. The great Billy DeWolfe plays Dave and Larry's boss at the radio station. Billy DeWolfe is a scene stealer without trying. He is that good. In one episode he gets a laugh just by asking the question "Having a drink of water?" Why is that funny? Because it is asked in Billy DeWolfe's style.
The cast had charm and were very funny. It deserved to be a big hit."
Absolutely brilliant!

"Even my wife, who is not generally a fan of sitcoms sat through this with me and is still raving about it! I went to the trouble of compiling a detailed episode guide for this show as I had never seen it before. The Ronnie Schell interview is fantastic and very informative. The Trivia Game is excellent.
The writing and performances are first rate and the guest stars include:
Leslie Parrish, David Ketchum, Herb Vigran,Charlie Brill, Marty Ingels, Andy Griffith and Carl Reiner, Herbie Faye, Pat Harrington, Johnny Silver,Jackie Joseph (as Cousin Bibian), Ric Roman, Byron Morrow, Don Diamond, Peter Hobbs, Robert Donner, Jan Murray, Angelique Pettyjohn, Herb Edelman, Lynda Day George, Jerry Van Dyke, Simon Oakland, Jayne Meadows, E.J.Peaker.
As for the regular performers, the standout aside from Ronnie,Joby Baker and Goldie Hawn, must surely be Billy De Wolfe. What a treasure, he even has a special episode drawn from his real life episode 11. Where Have You Been Billy Boy, Billy Boy? which is my wife's favorite!
Buy it.
