Customer Reviews

It's about time!!!
I have been waiting a long time for a decent Gallagher DVD to be released, but it has been worth the wait. This compilation contains 11 full length Gallagher concerts including:

Disc 1
"Mad As Hell" "Two Real" "Stuck in the 60's" "The Maddest"

Disc 2
"Melon Crazy" "Over Your Head" "The Bookkeeper" "Overboard"

Disc 3
"We Need A Hero" "Messin' Up Texas" "An Uncensored Evening"

These all appear to be unedited and uncut since there original airing. I used to catch these concerts re-aired on Comedy Central on Saturday mornings but have not seen them for about 10 years. I am SO happy that they finally released this great collection of Gallagher works... his comedy has already stood the test of time for over 20 years, and with this DVD, Gallagher can be introduced to new audiences and remembered by his fans.

There are also 2 "Best of Gallagher" DVD's that have been released, and I am wondering if they are just highlights from the 11 concerts contained on this "Smashing Watermelon Collection" or if they have different material on them. Hopefully someone will review them soon.

If you like Gallagher, I am sure you will buy this collection... but even if you just like comedy, you should get this in order to realize just how smart and funny Gallagher really is and you will discover how much influence he has had on many other comedians.

Finally!
It is great to finally get Gallgher on DVD. Only 2 problems I have noticed. Totally New is missing, and on a minor note Stuck in the 60's has some slight editing as during the song, the parts where he sings the chorus of a couple well known 60's songs, it has been taken out. Obvious crappy licensing issues that have caused some disasters to other DVD's. No other editing that I have noticed though.

But it still is a great collection with some concerts I have never seen before.

I love Gallagher
I'm so glad that all of Gallaghers vintage stand ups are finally on DVD. The DVD transfer is very good. You can actually see sweat dripping down his head. The watermellon box is a bit goofy, but it's hardly worth bitching about. I got this set for less then 19 dollars on deepdiscountdvd.com

god, what happened to good stand up comedy? The comedians today really suck. They all joke about the same thing; sex and how stupid white people are
