Fair, but not Tim's best. All older material, all in black and white.

Disappointed

"I've seen Tim Conway for years and think he is the funniest person alive, but the scenes on this DVD were terrible."
Older sketch comedy before Carol Burnette days

"This is Tim from the early 50s to the mid 60s? Before his days on Carol Burnett. Tim's strength is his physical comedy & spontaneous witty ad-lib. He also does best when another actor tries to hold in a laugh at his jokes & that gives Tim confidence to do what he does best & go off the script. That barely happens once in this hour program when a ringing phone didn't happen & he pretending to be psychic (I forget) & the other actor died laughing. I wished Tim kept going, but he went back to the script. All stage skit material from different variety shows, many of them having Tim play a character called "Dag Hartford" as a jockey, car driver, hippie, caveman, etc. It's the same character, the type that's slow, thick-headed, etc. But nowhere near as good as his days on Carol. There's almost no physical comedy as well."
Too trite

"I thought it was more of the funny stuff he did with Carol Burnett, but unfortunately it was not that funny."

"WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT. THERE ARE GREAT TV INTERPLAY SEQUENCES SOMEWHERE AVAILABLE, BUT THESE SCENES ARE WORSE THAN PEDESTRIAN. AND--- VERY FEW IN NUMBER. WHICH I REGARD AS LIFESAVING IF PROLONGED! I WAS SUCKED IN BY A TV AD WHICH DID FALSELY REPRESENT THIS DUD."

"I first saw Tim Conway when he was Tom Conway at BGSU in 1954. He was hilarious then and still is. This dvd shows some of his routines from TV, but none from the Carol Burnett Show-which were classic. Tim Conway is one of the top comedians. This dvd proves it."
