THE DEAN MARTIN CELEBRITY ROASTS were a fixture on NBC s Thursday night lineup from 1973 to 1984. In those 11 years, Dean and his panel of pals successfully ridiculed, embarrassed and made fun of legendary stars like Johnny Carson, Bob Hope, Lucille Ball, Jackie Gleason, Don Rickles and Dean Martin himself, to name a few, and America loved it!6-DVD COLLECTOR'S EDITION SET INCLUDES:12 Complete ROASTS on 6 DVDs, a special booklet, plus over 3 hours of Bonus Features including:*Rare Dean Martin TV specials*Bonus sketches*Interviews with Betty White, Jackie Mason, Ruth Buzzi, Tim Conway, Rich Little and Don Rickles*Exclusive Featurettes: Legends of the Roasts, The Art of the Roast and The King of Cool: Always in Fashion!ALSO FEATURED ARE THESE GUEST "ROASTERS" THROWING NON-STOP ZINGERS: Flip Wilson, Ronald Reagan, John Wayne, Ginger Rogers, Foster Brooks, Jimmy Stewart, Milton Berle, Billy Graham, Rich Little, Howard Cosell, Jack Benny, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Nipsey Russell, Omar Bradley, Phyllis Diller, Neil Armstrong, Ginger Rogers, Redd Foxx, Henry Kissinger, Don Rickles, Jonathan Winters, Sugar Ray Robinson, Mark Spitz, Dolores Hope, Lucille Ball, June Allyson, Greer Garson, Red Buttons, Barry Goldwater, Henry Fonda, Eddie Albert, Foster Brooks, George Burns, Tony Randall, Janet Leigh, Jesse White, Orson Welles, Mickey Rooney, LaWanda Page, Ruth Buzzi... just dozens and dozens of stars! It s a fun walk down memory lane. Review: Thought Don Rickles, LaWanda Page, Nipsey Russell and Lucy were the funniest ones on these DVD's - These DVD's are hilarious. My favorite roaster is grump old Don Rickles and LaWanda Page who played grumpy old Aunt Esther on Sanford and Son. They are both hilarious and so is Nipsy Russell. Freaky old Phillis Diller makes a few appearances - sometimes she is funny and sometimes not. Seeing the old movie, tv and comedy stars that were popular in the 70's when I was in elementary school brings back memories of old rerun tv shows my parents used to watch when I was but a wee lad. They should have had Carol Burnett as a roaster = she would do all kind of crazy things on her show to get people to laugh and would laugh herself on live tv. Lucille Ball is on a few of the roasts and is funny also. You get to see a side of the comedians that you never saw before, like most of them are smoking and drinking and sometimes cussing on the stage at the roast - that is probably why they are all dead now - smoking and drinking got to them. These are funny to my family, but remember they are from the 70's before uptight political correctness and super hypersensitivity ruled the land like today so most if it would not fly today - but it is funny stuff from that era. Dean Martin looked drunk most of the time. Review: Dvd - DVD was phenomenal. It was professional and a great thing to watch. I definitely recommend it.

Still funny after all these years and a great price.
While you can purchase the entire collection, this collection of 12 Roasts is a great bargain. The roasts are still funny after all these years. Plus you also get a few extras, two Dean Martin specials from the mid 70's. You also get some skits from the Dean Martin show, as well as interviews with some of the stars who were on the roasts. I remember growing up and my parents watching these shows, and I would sneak out of bed and watch from the top of the stairs, trying not to laugh out loud. While I do cringe at some of the "jokes" at the expense of Sammy Davis Jr., we all know that these stars actually were friends in real life. The entire collection sells for quite a bit more money, with many celebrities of dubious distinction. This set includes Johnny Carson, Bob Hope, Jack Benny, Jimmy Stewart, and several more worthy of roasting. I enjoyed it very much.

a great laugh blast from the past
The Dean Martin Roasts. What a memory! They started in 1974, Watergate era, and went on for years. It's go for broke as there is no woke in these comedy sketches - politics, race, insults, jabs - it's all fair game. And guess what, it's all funny and in good taste and all laugh at it and at each other and at themselves. You won't see any of this on TV today - it would be too inflammatory. And that's a shame.

I have been after the Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts for a long time but they have been unavailable in Australia. I searched and searched and found this fantastic compilation. It has 5 discs full of complete roasts from the 70’s. Watching the great stars of the time roast each other is priceless - much funnier than the roasts that Comedy Central puts on today. These aren’t contrived or fake - they genuinely rip into one another and roast each other and no one gets annoyed or offended. We can’t use some of the language they used in the 70’s, but no one gets off side or upsets - it’s just old time classic comedy. Don Rickles is at his nasty best and Dean Martin is so drunk in every episode he literally has trouble standing sometimes. Priceless. This is a great collection. I highly recommend it.

This was a classic DVD that I purchased, along with several others, for my father for Christmas! He was so excited and cherished these DVD's. My father introduced me to all the classic movies and celebrities at a fairly young age so it was really special to sit down and watch these with him, over and over again! Great purchase! <3
