Movie Reviews of The Best of Donny and Marie: Volume 1
Movie Review: Not much for 20+ bucks
Summary: 2 Stars
Perhaps I didnt read carefully before purchasing this OL a couple wks ago.
Besides the fact there are only 4 episodes divided into 2 discs & only photo gallery of each episode for extras, these episodes are edited to 30 min each.
From what I remember & Donny says in the 1st season episode "We have a whole hour." The complete opening credits (animated sequence), "It takes Two" segments, solos & music videos w/flower or seagull introduction, & more comedy sketches, are all missing.
I don't know why it had to cost the same as purchasing a 20-30 episode of a tv season from any series & why each episode edited & chopped in half couldnt have just been put onto 1 disc.
But because I haven't seen an episode for over 30 yrs (while in prime time) that's why i hastily purchased this.
Summary of The Best of Donny and Marie: Volume 1
America's favorite siblings are back in this fabulous collection of the very best moments from their hit TV variety show, Donny and Marie.Not seen since it was originally aired, this 2-disc set is filled with your favorite musical performances, comedy sketches, guest appearances and much more!
The jokes may be corny and the content squeaky clean, but it's hard to resist the toothy charms of Donnie & Marie. (When Donnie gets a call on his loafer phone, Marie quips, "That's shoe business!") No matter how crazy the characters (Captain Purple and Wonderful Woman), tacky the outfits (heavy on the rhinestones, feathers, and gold lam?), or incredible the situations (Donnie on stilts), the brother-sister duo always look like they wouldn't want to be anywhere else. Though this collection focuses on only four episodes, it does cover every year of the popular Sid and Marty Krofft-produced variety series (1976-1979). Since Marie was "a little bit country" and Donnie "a little bit rock and roll," each installment features selections from both genres--although "rock and roll" usually means R&B and disco--along with giggly sketches and skating from the Vegas-style Ice Vanities. Musical selections include "Jive Talkin'," "Yakety Yak," "I'm Your Puppet," "Dance to the Music," and "Good Day Sunshine." Guests include Charo, Paul Lynde, Ruth Buzzi, Bob Hope, Cheryl Ladd, Carl Reiner (as Carmen Miranda), and Minnie Pearl (as Shirley Temple). While the cavity-prone should steer clear of this sugary flashback, for the rest of the viewing audience, Donnie & Marie offers boundless enthusiasm, supreme silliness, and the widest smiles of the 1970s (next to Jimmy Carter). --Kathleen C.
