Colgate dvds..

[strawberry]

I'm sorry if this is a really stupid post, and if you want to you can delete it, But i was thinking maybe we could all chip in and make our own CCH (on DVD, or one for VHS too) episode guide. Everyone could post what episodes they have, what box set it came in ect. I'v been looking on the net at various 'episode guides' and find it no help what so ever to see what episodes i'm missing, or what episodes are actually on dvd. And since a lot of us are spread out through North America and (over seas) it would be interesting to see what is available someplace, and what isn't. If anyone thinks this is a good idea, i'll be happy to start us off with what i have.

I think it's a great idea

Hmm, I sure could try to help out!
I wrote down all the episodes in a book someplace, now I just have to find them!

But I have "When TV was Funny", "The Martin and Lewis Collection", "Still Laughing", "AMC Martin and Lewis Set", the infamous Wal*Mart pack and a couple other small ones.

I'll get to writing my guide when I find it! I hope it'll help

I think this could be a big help to some people.
Certainly me! I hate wasting my money on CCH DVD's that i already i have. (I have Three copies of the Burt Lancastor and Rosemary Clooney episodes ) The boxes don't always have the guest stars or sketch details writen on the back, so i'm never sure if i'm paying 40 dollars for episodes that i already have. And it could help if you're looking for a specific episode. Just look here, and you could find out what box set it comes in.
Anyhow, this is all that i have. I didn't go into too much detail, but i think you get the jist of it. If it's too confusing, i'll edit it. (I'm not always known for explaining things well )
If you have anything other then what i have, post it here please!

I could find those papers you wrote all of the episodes down on for me and post them here. I know they're on my computer desk somewhere, it looks like a hurricane hit it due to finals week, but I'll find 'em and can post 'em if you can't find yours

I saw thesed dvd's at my brother's house when I was visiting with him and spending the weekend. It was after his family and my mom had gone to bed and so I watched them by myself and never did get to ask him if he was a fan of this show as I left the next morning and forgot to mention it to him.

the infamous Wal*Mart pack

That's the one I've got. Why is it infamous?

[*~Mrs. Cooper ~*]

Because everyone who has either seen or heard of the Colgate Comedy boxed set was because of Wal*Mart having a boxed set in their $5 bin. At least that's where all my friends have found them, lol.

It's not bad at all, that's just what we call it; 'cause if you say, "Oh, I have that one boxed set--" WHICH ONE?! ...The Wal*Mart one ;D

[porfle]

Thanks. I was afraid there might be something sinister about it.

[*~Mrs. Cooper ~*]

LOL, Almost; but not quite.

I'm thinking about buying the "martin & lewis collection". but I can only get it from ebay...I wanted to ask if anyone of you has or knows this dvd set and could tell me whether it's good or not....because i don't want to waste my money....

[Miss Retro]

I want to get all the colgate comedy hour episodes on dvd

[mebiscuitsinmebrew]

i know they have a lot on amazon.com, thats where i got some of mine, waiting til my next lot of student loan after christmas so i can buy more.. i only got vol 1 and 2 with burt lancaster and rosemary clooney guesting. They're not bad prices, even the shipping to here in england is pretty reasonable, and they're so funny. I know a lot of clips are on youtube, but there's nothing better than owing a hard copy of it.

This might be sad but i've downloaded a few jerry films then bought them on dvd for the commentaries, is that bad?!
