The Good and Bad of This Collection
I really, really, really wanted this to be 5 stars and more. What you get in this collection is other releases (which are sold separately here on Amazon), combined into one collection.
First, let me say this, I got this set during the lightning deals around Christmas, and for that price, the collection is worth it. It's listed at just under $200, and for that price you would be better off buying the parts individually. (I paid less than half that)
In the box comes:
The Best of The Dean Martin Variety Show (Collector's Edition) (6 Disk Set)
The King of Cool: Best of Dean Martin Variety Show (Collector's Edition) (6 Disk set)
Dean Martin Christmas (Single Disk)
Dean Martin Variety Show Uncut (3 Disk Set)
Now, you can go find each of those items as they are all sold individually. And, when you add them up, you can see what the "right price" for this collection should be.
Along with many other reviewers for the individual...

It just keeps getting better!
Since Time-Life stepped up to the plate, we have been fortunate enough to have a treasure-trove of material from TV's Dean Martin Show released from the archives! Now Time-Life is amassing their past three DVD box sets ("The Best of...", "King of Cool" and "Dean Uncut") into one huge "Ultimate" set to bring us 17 hours of material all under one package with a few bonuses thrown in...
As a former TV executive and founder of The Dean Martin Fan Center (you can find us on the Web), we produced a lot of TV shows back in those years, but the one show that had captured my heart and I spent my youth on, is Dean Martin's Variety Show. Watching these Time-Life DVD's takes me right back to Studio 4 in Burbank as if it were yesterday. If you're old enough to remember, I don't even have to explain, but if you've only heard about those years, all I can say is that it was a magical time
Included in the Ultimate set is the never...
