From over 1,000 hours of these classic performances, this second volume of The Very Best of the Ed Sullivan Show brings you the biggest names in comedy, Broadway, variety, pop and rock captured live in the prime of their careers. Special Features Unseen for over 20 Years, the material in this volume includes: Amazing dance performances from the likes of Bill "Bojangles" Robinson and Gwen Verdon Classic comedy routines from George Carlin, Richard Pryor and the Smothers Brothers Musical standards from Tom Jones, Nat "King" Cole and Johnny Mathis The kings of rock "n" roll including The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Creedance Clearwater Revival and Ike & Tina Turner

 Partial Performances January 12, 2008

Why would you entitle a production "Unforgettable Performances" and then forget to include a single performance in its entirety?

 Made for the MTV crowd February 12, 2007

I suspect the five-star reviews of this DVD were written by spammers working for the company that sells it.
These compendium DVDs are routinely made by stupid jackasses who figure our attention span is only 10 seconds (the MTVers) so there's no point in showing an entire performance. What we get here is Carol Burnett talking about Ed Sullivan and occasionally throwing out little snippets of the acts. We get only a few seconds of the comedians and novelty acts, though they sometimes provide a whole song, other times a fraction of the song. This format is so annoying I didn't much like the DVD.
The really really big sheww June 12, 2006

Watching Ed Sullivan on Sunday night was an American tradition. He came out with his squinchy little body and his upraised hands and told us all that it was going to be a 'really big really big sheww' . 'Let's hear it for Curtis Le May from SAC. He 's going to bomb the Commies into Smithereens' Down there in the front row say a big hello to one of the great champeens of all time. Let's hear it for Jack Dempsey'
Ed would begin that way introducing the celebrities and warming us for Toppo Gigio the Little Italian Mouse or for , a young man from Memphis , Tennessee ( Ed could hardly hide the distaste as he pronounced the words ) Elvis Presley. "
The video contains records of some of the highlight performances, and also an interview with Ed and his wife Sylvia.
Highlights are wonderful, but my sense is that putting together a package in which the complete shows as they came on at the time would give a dimension no excerpts can.
