"I remember seeing this comedy special when it first aired in 1996 and I absolutely loved it. I was even more excited when I saw that it was coming out on DVD because my VHS copy broke. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed when I bought the DVD. There are at least 30 minutes of Sinbad's performance that are edited out. I knew something was wrong when the screen would fade to black for a second and then cut back to the show. I don't know why they do this, but it really ruins the DVD. I will never put this DVD in my player again because they cut out some of my favorite parts. I probably shouldn't complain because the price is so low, but I would rather pay more and have the whole show."
A Little Disappointing

"I have watched Sinbad: Son of a Preacher Man on tv, and this video is missing alot of that program. My favorite part about his mother and how she would punish him was missing! I was so very disappointed!! I would not have purchased this video knowing what all is missing from the original."
Decent, but too short

"Sinbad: Son of a Preacher Man
Sinbad is a great comedian and I'm glad they finally release more of his stand-up. Unfortunately, just like in the HBO special there are blank spaces for the commercial breaks and there seems to be a gap in routine, as though some of the routine was cut out. It only runs about 35 minutes (when you don't count the credits and opening producer advertising) so it's relatively short. I would advise you to rent it before you spend $15 with shipping an handling."
Very funny!

"Sinbad is a very visual performer, and he doesn't disappoint here. Not quite as funny as the hilarious "Afros & Bellbottoms", but still a good laugh."

"I was expecting the part where Sinbad sings "Have You Seen Her" by the Chilites while holding the big radio on his shoulder. Also, there was a about 3 or 4 guys singing back - up...but to no avail!!!!
I even bought Nothing but the Funk but no "Have You Seen Her" in this video,also. Was this segment taken out of the DVD?
