(4 stars) - This DVD was not as advertised
I saw this show on PBS TV and enjoyed it very much. I would definitely be interested in seeing more of the Mike Douglas Shows, as I have always been a big fan. It was about 56 minutes long. I saw an Amazon.com ad that said it was 115 minutes long, so ordered it, expecting to see an expanded version. It was 56 minutes long. There was an option to view an "extra" which merely allowed for viewing clips from the show individually. If you count this as additional video, the total is 112 minutes. This was at the most false advertising and at the least very misleading.

(5 stars) - This will be a christmas present
I was satisfied with the seller but I bought this item as a christmas present so hopefully all will be ok!

(5 stars) - Mike Douglas Show - Moments & (GOOD) Memories
Very pleasant compilation of clips from the Mike Douglas Show with reminiscences recorded in 2007 from Mike's wife Gen, Billy Crystal, Bill Cosby, Della Reese, Mariette Hartley and a TV critic.

This DVD brings back lots of good memories of when TV talk/variety shows were worth watching.

Most of the shows best years and highest ratings were done in Philadelphia 1965-1978 though the DVD fails to make that clear.

Wish that the clips were identified by year but they are not.

Technical quality shows the amazing evolution of TV technology from 1961 black and white and the relatively new medium of videotape (then just 5 years old) to super sharp broadcast color done in Los Angeles. It's also curious to watch how the show developed from a very low budget local show in Cleveland to a nationally syndicated program shown in 170 markets and watched by at least six million people 5 days a week.

Worth buying.

(4 stars) - brought back good memories
I had seen some of this on PBS fundraiser and it brought back memories of coming home from school and watching this with my mother most every day. When I received it I sat down and watched with my own daughter. We enjoyed it so much we watched it twice. My only complaint is that it's too short, an hour was not enough. 20 years of shows, it should've been at least 2 hours. It's a DVD that will definitely get passed around the family

(4 stars) - Mike Douglas Memories - What Memories
I personally enjoyed this DVD. It had a lot of fun clips from various Mike Douglas shows and brief biographical sketches about Mike and his life and career. I especially enjoyed it on a personal level as my Father was a camera man for the Mike Douglas show when it aired on KYW in Cleveland, OH when I was just a kid. I used to visit the studio during a lot of the shows too, so it brought back a lot of memories. I wish I had known this was being put together as I might have been able to contribute some photos from my Dad's photo file. The only thing I wish would have been different is if they had done it in more chronological order rather than skipping around from earlier to later shows and vice-versa. All in all it was entertaining and good to see more of what happened to Mike after he left Cleveland. P.S. - If anyone knows how to get in touch with Mike's wife or there are more clips from the KYW Cleveland shows available please contact me.
