Thanks for the Memories: The Bob Hope Specials (11-DVD Collection) - Time Life

I thought I would like this a lot more than I did. I didn't hate it, and just seeing Bob in form again was great. But the Bob Hope dvds themselves were a collection of short clips, most of which have been aired on the commercials. The material seems really dated now, even to me - I'm of that age, but I honestly haven't thought about Henry Kissinger in decades. I forgot how much of Bob's humor was political, and it just wasn't as funny as back then. The dvd's where he's entertaining the troops were, for me, the best part. The impact on the servicemen is still moving, and I don't think I ever gave Raquel Welch the credit she deserves! She can't sing or dance worth a lick, but the guys just ate her up, and what a good girl she was to go out and do those shows. Sorry, Raquel - a belated cheers to you. I will honestly watch those over and over. The celebrity roast was good'ish. It's just the one, and it seemed to be really short, but all the old comedians were good to see. The biggest reason I don't give it 5 stars is the price! It's not even nearly worth that much. Sorry, Bob's relatives....love Bob, but that price is ridiculous.

Bringing back great memories helps me to create a more positive atmosphere for my Dad. He is now 94, is tired of world politics and cable TV and asked me to find 'happier' things for him to watch. He has watched the entire set twice now, and it was great to see him smiling. Thanks!

When I seen this advertised on TV I knew I had to have it. Amazon price is a tad lower. The set is wonderful and fun to watch. It brought back memories of watching Bob starting back in the 50s when TV was new. He was a terrific man and you can tell by watching these performances that he loved the servicemen. "Thanks for the memories."

This is wonderful collection video clips of one of the all-time great entertainers. His dedication to going to visit the troops in combat areas from WW II to the Middle east is legendary. A retire military person like myself will always be grateful for all he did for us.

Little pricey but worth it. Quality is not great, but what can you expect?

I really enjoyed the product and it brought back memories of some of the old stars I saw when I was youger. The product arrived in a timely manner and in good condition as advertised. I've been watching the discs with great enjoyment.

Probably my favorite set of Bob Hope memories from his many years entertaining the troops both here and abroad. Well worth the money.

enjoying immensely, cd's in great shape, please try to share with anyone who loves bob, i think when we are done viewing them, we'll bring them over and donate them to the seniors community and/or home

Enjoy watching the shows from Vietnam. Old enough to remember.

If you are a Bob Hope fan this set is great to have.
