These old Groucho shows are very funny, but it's hard to differentiate one volume from another. I had already purchased this exact dvd but with a different cover, so I had hoped for a few new shows, but no such luck. Since shows are not listed by title (they don't have titles) dates would help some, but no dates either. I would like to buy additional dvd's but no way to know if I'm getting different or the same shows. But they are funny and worth watching more than once. In fact I watch them every evening and have seen each of them dozens of times. They are funny every time. (I know I'm an old dude, pushing 60). But the new TV shows are so trashy, I wouldn't consider watching them except for a few chosen ones.

Last year, I bought this for myself because I loved watching the show as a kid and they don't show reruns of it on t.v. My step-mom loves old, classic movies but has so many that I'm not sure what she already has in her library. So, this year for Christmas, I decided to get her old, classic games show videos and Groucho is hilarious. He has a quick, dry sense of humor and finds joy in flirting with or needling the players. The funniest thing is that the contestants don't even realize he's making fun of them!

What can you say about 'You Bet Your Life'. i'ts the funniest show ever aired. If my girlfriend can even watch anything in black and white; it's gotta be good.

Wow, it's amazing how well Graucho holds up over the years. There are some dated references to sex and race, but Graucho handles it with a sarcastic wit meant to poke fun at societies conceptions. I'm sure some regressive rednecks out there never understood Graucho, and they probably won't today.

For any true Groucho fan, a collection of Marx Bros. work isn't really complete without episodes of "You Bet Your Life," Groucho's NBC TV quiz show that ran during the 1950s. This DVD collection includes about 12 hours of shows and should be a very funny "must have."

Review created: 02/17/08(updated 02/17/08)

Classic Grouch Marx. I remember the show as a child before it went off the air. I have not seen it in many years and I was real glad I picked this one up. If you are a Marx fan then you need to see these game shows that Groucho was on tv and also with his occassional brothers doing a commercial or two. Great family humor for all ages.
