- Mike Douglas is the BEST!!
- When I saw that anything on the Mike Douglas Show was coming on DVD I can't even explain my joy!! I remember so fondly watching 'Mike' as he was called in our house every afternoon- 'Mike' was on when my mom was cooking dinner, when I set the table, and lucky for us my dad came home from work about 6 p.m. so we got to watch all of 'Mike' before sitting down to dinner! My mom used to quote him as if he were a personal friend...but then again he sort of was our friend. Mike Douglas brought family entertainment into our homes for two decades. His show also introduced the younger audiences to the likes of Totie Fields, Vincent Price, Marty Allen, Pat Cooper and how about the weekly guest hosts? Who can ever forget the week that John & Yoko hosted!
Even the BeeGees made three apperances! I loved this DVD but....I want MORE!!! Please give us more of Mike on DVD....pleeeease!!!!!! - 2008-11-04, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Mike Douglas - Moments & Memories
- This DVD is exactly what its title indicates: Moments and Memories. Many future stars perform in their relatively fledgling careers and the ever present Mike Douglas smoothly transitions from one segment to the next. One is reminded of the graciousness which permeated his shows. Anyone who is interested in hearing wonderful songs, sung on pitch, not screached or drummed to the nth degree should enjoy the music. Anyone interested in good fun will enjoy the more comedic segments. Anyone who thirsts for good clean humor and honesty of performance should enjoy this DVD.

- Mike Douglas-Moments and Memories DVD-
- I saw parts of this video on a PBS special, and loved it and wanted to see the whole thing! I don't remember ever watching the Mike Douglas show when I was younger. He was a daytime talk show host like Johnny Carson was a night time talk show host. As I watched the video, soon my husband and 17-year-old daughter were watching with me, and we were all really enjoying it! There are great interviews, some funny, some poignant. In a way, it's a tribute to Mike Douglas the man, using those who knew him and interviews and clips from his show to illustrate their impressions of him. It's only about an hour, and we wished it were longer! We'll be watching it again with our other children when they come home to visit.

- Pretty Good
- The main part of this DVD is a 1 hour special with short clips of the celebrities listed above but then you have the bonus extras which are longer clips of the same artist and gives you another hour. The transfer of these tapes isn't quite as good as I had hoped for, for instance the John and Yoko sections look so much better on the old VHS box set I have from Rhino. The Rolling Stones is a highlight for me since I'd been looking for a clip of it for 30 years.
All in all definitely worth the money. - 2008-03-28, 4 of 4 people found this review helpful, Rated:
