Perfect Cure for the Holiday Blues

"I recently purchased the Victor Borge Classic Collection about a week ago. Just the other night we were having some families over, so I decided to put on The Best of Borge. I do not remember seeing so much laughter and smiles in one room before. I was most suprised that even the teenagers who had never heard of him before were sitting down to watch. Victor Borge is a one of a kind performer that only comes along once in a lifetime. I have seen him live and on TV, and even though I know what he is going to say, I still laugh. His comedic timing and touch at the piano are legendary, and something you never get tired of seeing or hearing. I know you have heard it before, but this is truly a gift the whole family will enjoy forever! A must for everyone's holiday list!"
Redundant, but a good price

"There is a lot of overlap between the different dvds. Each dvd seems to have something that the others don't, but they also have a lot of the same routines. But given its price, it wasn't a bad deal."
100th Anniversary Edition Victor Borge: Classic Collection
Jayebird | Indianapolis, IN | 04/22/2009
(3 out of 5 stars)
"There was a lot of repeat footage. The first dvd; "The Best of Victor Borge - Acts One and Two" had had about 90% of everything that is on the other five dvds. It was great to see Victor Borge, but for such a long career the was very little sampleing of what he did."
Victor Borge Classic Collection

"There is so much duplication on each of the DVDs they could have put everything once on one DVD and at least you would not feel ripped off. So many skits and hours of his comedy I was expecting to enjoy on all these DVDs and found that in this one DVD set I saw more re-runs of the same thing than I have ever seen. What a great disappointment but at least I could give out 5 of the DVDs to friends and we all would have the same thing just in a different order."
