Rodney Dangerfield: No Respect - The Ultimate Collection
Legendary comedian Rodney Dangerfield liked to joke that he just got "no respect." But this three-disc set proves he deserves that and heaps more kudos for his innate and canny sense of timing and genius humor, which are all on display in this collection of stand-ups, appearances, comedy specials and more. As always, viewers are in for a side-splitting, laugh-a-minute journey into a top-rate entertainer's mind.

Less Respect After Seeing This - Mookie
I only saw disk three with a full performance by Rodney, a Carson appearance, a This is Your Life, and a full Special that showcased a lot of comics like Tim Allen and Jeff Foxworthy. After seeing Tim and Jeff's performance I wondered how they made it as stars. Their set felt rushed and lacked any big laughs.
The special was a bunch of "okay" comedians but the ones I see on the Just For Laughs specials are much more engaging. The This is Your Life special was a bit depressing since they only seemed to be able to get his housekeeper (who he sees all the time), his children, and a few comedians to tape him a couple of minutes of babble. His taped performance was the most interesting but I was surpised how many jokes felt tired. I think the truth is that his style of one liners isn't fresh enough for today's audience. He has some very witty one liners but on the whole I wasn't laughing much during his performance.
This is worth seeing if you are a fan but it felt rather flat to me.Classic - Meathead
Rodney is the man. This 3 set DVD has all kinds of other gems too. You get to see Andrew Dice Clay and Sam Kinison at the peak of their respective careers. Seinfeld's on there too. Disc 2 and 3 are better than one, but its all here.

I especially like Disc 3 with the "This is your life" and the "Johnny Carson" specials. Disc 3 also had a Tim Allen performance that is a must see. I have to admit they pretty much covered everything about Rodney except for his movies. If you are in the mood for a little comedy, rent these three disks you won't be disappointed.
