Mom Loves Groucho/You Bet Your Life! April 2, 2008
Denny Bissell (Pryor, OK USA)
Great DVD. My title says it all, Mom Loves Groucho and You Bet Your Life.
Fun to watch the old game shows. Do wish they had a little up to date bio on each player.

There are so many public domain DVDs of Groucho Marx's "You Bet Your Life" (which ran on NBC from 1950 to 1961) that duplication has become rampant. However, this Pop Flix release focuses on previously unavailable "Best of Groucho" episodes. These syndication prints eliminated references to DeSoto-Plymouth - the comedy-quiz show's primary sponsor. Special guests include baseball legend Don Drysdale, author C.S. Forester and Tony Curtis' mother. Despite a flawed program menu and erratic print quality (two episodes are out-of-sync), the DVD offers plenty of classic Groucho at a terrific price.

This is a must have! Although it is classed as a quiz show, that aspect takes a back seat to the hilarious banter between Groucho and the contestants. And what characters these people are! Of course, holding the whole show together is Groucho himself, the master of the ad-libbed retort. But believe me, some of the contestants give him a run for his money!
This dvd will constantly bring a smile to your face and is full of wonderful surprises. We will probably never see anything like this show again so make the most of it - 14 episodes of pure enjoyment for a bargain price.

The You Bet Your Life shows were some of the funniest shows ever done on television. The jokes and interviews are somewhat outdated, but they are good, clean fun. Groucho was ahead of his time, allowing minorities on his program, interviewing people who got their start on his show and having interviews dealing with some contaversal issues. I have seen most of the shows on the various dicks and have heard all of his radio broadcasts. Great fun and many hours of entertainmant is provided by one of the most unique personalities in entertainment history.
Groucho, we miss your humor.

I came across this DVD as I searched for a "funny DVD" to keep the spirits high for a personal friend battling cancer. I was close to getting "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein," and then I opted for this. My friend and I were both born in the late 40's and remember our parents watching "You Bet Your Life." We were supposed to be in bed, but I remember the laughter.
I made the right choice with this DVD. It is a riot. George Fenneman is right on with his introduction: "The One, the Only, Groucho Marx." Groucho is just plain funny. He doesn't rely on grossness, he doesn't use profanity.... he's just funny. Watching this video is so refreshing in a day and age where the Comedy Channel is over-whelmed with 'comedians' who can't be funny without issuing a litany of racial slurs and profanities.
Hurrah for Groucho! This is a DVD for everyone. Young kids should watch this for a good taste of Americana over half a century old. The rest of us can watch it and laugh and remember how much fun life used to be.
