Movie Reviews of The Flip Wilson Show
Movie Review: FLIP WILSON Comedy Shows A Blast From The Past!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was inspired to write this review about the DVD releases on the classic Flip Wilson Show because several "reviewers" have written negative remarks. First of all, let it be known for the record that the Late Flip Wilson himself acquired the "rights" to his hour long comedy-variety show[episodes]from NBC back in the early 1990's and he set about editing them down to half hour episodes. His plan was to include the HIGHLIGHTS from each program within a half hour format. Eventually, after several years of hard work, cable's TV LAND aired his wonderfully edited episodes. The man was a comic genius! His characters, most notably "Geraldine Jones", were spectacular individuals who strangely enough developed "lives" of their own in our nation's Pop Culture, becoming massively popular & famous "in their own right". Who could ever forget that incredibly funny and true life-like character "Geraldine"?! That chick really had it going on and was a riot to boot! Anyway, releases on VHS were issued in single volumes[volume 1/volume 2 and so forth]with each tape including two episode "featurettes"...thus, on DVD a single disc will contain the equal to two VHS releases or 4 "featurettes" plus a "bonus" episode because of the expanded format on disc. THE FLIP WILSON SHOW has been issued by Rhino Video in superb video/sound quality, and three decades later, FLIP WILSON's universal brand of comedy has definitely withstood the test of time and remains extremely funny, charming and quite entertaining. Each disc is a goldmine full of laughter and entertainment; "Geraldine's" skits are truly the ultimate best! I just bet you FLIP is in heaven keeping all the angels & GOD laughing incredibly hard!
