Movie Reviews of Best of the Barbara Mandrell and the Mandrell Sisters Show
Movie Review: It's about time!!
Summary: 5 Stars
All I can say is it's about time this show was on DVD. Of course the whole 2 seasons need to be released like other TV shows not just the best of. But maybe the response to this will open their eyes. Simply the BEST show on tv EVER!!!
Love all three ladies, but my favorite has always been Louise. Something about her and that fiddle (or is it just her...huuummmm)
Thanks Timelife, now lets get every show released on DVD...WE WANT IT!
Summary of Best of the Barbara Mandrell and the Mandrell Sisters Show
Beginning in 1980 over 40 million viewers tuned in each week as barbara louise & irlene sang danced & joked their way to tv stardom on this top 10-rated show. This features the bext musical & comedy moments from the show. Studio: Wea-des Moines Video Release Date: 05/01/2007 Run time: 180 minutesBest of Barbara Mandrell and the Mandrell Sisters Show is a two-disc set emphasizing performance highlights from six episodes of the NBC "country music-variety" show that hit the air in 1980. That?s the same year Barbara Mandrell won the Country Music Association?s Entertainer of the Year Award, and it?s a pleasure to look back on how well she took to being such a charismatic, warm, and fun host as well as a dynamic vocalist. Appearing with her are sisters Louise and Irlene, the former a good singer in her own right while Irlene is essentially a personality. Each of the truncated shows here begins with the trio bantering at the top of an episode, generally targeting poor Barbara for being the shortest, the oldest, or not much good at dancing. The first show here, from November of 1980, finds Dolly Parton singing "9 to 5" while also participating in a gospel medley with John Schneider and the Mandrells. (Each show in the series seems to have ended with a gospel medley as a signature piece, involving all the musical talent available on any given night.) This episode is also the only place that one really gets a sense of what the comedy was like on this series, in a passable bit in which one sees how only child Barbara?s happiness was destroyed by the announcement that her mother was pregnant with Louise. Another show from that same time period ushers in Kenny Rogers as a special guest, though his fine solo contributions and collaborations with the sisters isn?t nearly as interesting as Barbara and Louise?s Patsy Cline medley and tribute.
Things really pick up with a 1982 episode starring Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash, who share a lot of enjoyable, old memories with Barbara and embark on a short tour of their musical legacy. Johnny sings a spare "I Walk the Line," and he joins his wife and the Mandrells on a final medley that includes "Will the Circle Be Unbroken." A 1981 appearance by Bob Hope is a treat, especially a duet with Barbara on "Buttons and Bows." (There?s also a reminiscence by Barbara about appearing in a skimpy outfit for one of Hope?s TV specials years before.) Another ?81 installment featuring Alabama and Glen Campbell proves okay, but the final show here stars Ray Charles in excellent form on "You Don?t Know Me" and a bluesy, understated "Old Time Religion." --Tom Keogh
