Rating:  - * classic comedy ... these stories still crack me up. listened to a record as a kid. he's funny without cursing. kids and adults can enjoy cosby's stories. Rating: - * Bill Cosby at his best. ... I remembered this tape from when I was a child (who could forget "chicken heart"). I bought it to share with my children as I think it's one of Bill Cosby's funniest works! He so accurately depicts the imagination we all had as children. Hasn't every child thought, at one time or another, that there was some mosterous creature under their bed? It still makes me laugh. Rating: - * To Tell Stories ... This 1966 LP was recorded at Harrah's Casino in South Lake Tahoe. It contains eight stories ranging from 15 minutes in length to as short as 1 and a half minutes. These are about the eight funniest stories you are going to hear. The Tale of the: "Chicken Heart" a scary monster on a Radio-Broadcast, killer Monkey Bars at a perfectly good: "Playground" that the parents messed-up for the kids, being told the amount of Ice Cream, you are gonna get to eat if you have your: "Tonsils" taken out, "Go Carts", flying down Dead-Man's Hill, cold, cold, water at: "Niagara Falls". Sometimes, Bill is the Kid in these stories, sometimes he is the observer of these great Tales of Life, but...he is always very, very Funny. This record was very enjoyable when my Parents played this record in 1966, and when I played this for my children a few years back, they were laughing pretty hard as well. If this Country was indeed wise enough to Crown a King of Modern Comedy, it would be Bill Cosby. This is his finest hour, eight stories that are timeless and full of wit and imagination...Classic Comedy that will always suit the Times; "Wonderfulness" FIVE STARS !!! Rating: - * Been laughing to this for over 30 years... ... I'm 39 now. My Mom used to listen to these albums when she was a teenager, and years later, she would to play them for me all the time when I was young. Instead of plopping me in front of the tv, we'd sit and listen and imagine Cosby on stage and we'd be laughing right along with the audience. I have been listening to them ever since. All these stories have held up wonderfully (no pun intended) after over 40 years. Bill Cosby is a master comedic story teller - and most of what he is telling is through real life experience. I have several of Cosby's album's (I mean CD's!) on my iPod now, and it's hard to keep from chuckling in my work cubicle when a story like "The Chicken Heart" comes on... Highly recommended to anyone who has never heard Cosby's old bits, and also to anyone that wants to enjoy them again. Rating: - * Bill Cosby's Wonderfullness ... I bought this CD because it features Bill's Chicken Heart comedy routine. The Chicken Heart has to be Bill Cosby's greatest comedy routine ever. I listened to the Chicken Heart over and over as a kid with my brother and cousins but I still laugh at it as an adult today. I play the Chicken Heart every year for my elementary library students. They love it as much as I do! Two other hilarious routines that are included on this CD are Tonsils and Go Carts. This is Bill Cosby at his best. |
DVD features
Yes, the unrated edition of The Dukes of Hazzard has nudity... but no, it's not of Jessica Simpson, but topless sorority girls. There are also two sets--"PG-13" and "unrated"--of deleted scenes and bloopers. The four minutes of unrated deleted scenes (supplementing the 25 minutes of "PG-13" deleted scenes) include more sorority girls and a menage à trois for Johnny Knoxville . The five minutes of unrated bloopers (the same amount as the "PG-13" bloopers) feature a few more girls but mostly bad language. Featurettes discuss the Daisy Duke short shorts (and show how you can make your own), car stunts, and the making of the movie (narrated by a cast member of the original TV series). --David Horiuchi
