The Ernie Kovacs Collection :: The Buff :: Film Rental, Review and ...

Based on a number of very strong criticism, I took a bit of a flyer on Shout! New plant Ernie Kovacs Collection 6-DVD set and picked up a copy last week. Kovacs died in a car accident in 1962 and, therefore, long ago slipped radar for most people. I'm not sure who this group is for, but Shout! Factory assembled a huge amount of material here covering the whole of his day and evening shows, a number of promotions and a collection of pieces of other sketches, promos and trailers.

Kovacs has been described as an author as TV and it is difficult to argue that the theory based on the items in this collection. His output ranges from completely bizarre and hilarious Kovacs establishes as one of the great actors timeless ... no one has ever heard of. He deconstructs the comedy in a way that does not seem out of place in an episode of Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! ... He just made ​​50 years earlier.The material included more than 13 hours the entire operation time ranges from gentle family rate of G-rated disturbing and uncomfortable anti-edgy humor. The show, Ernie Kovacs could be best described as the equivalent of Walt Disney's animated stoner-acid-trip Fantasia

I do not think I've ever seen something so up against the Ernie Kovacs Show, certainly not at that time. Many sketches presented here are clearly a product of their time, but the ingenuity and innovation of comedy Kovac vision shines through in most cases.His comedy was a combination of fun and surreal, and has clearly inspired many comedians who followed him - Python, SNL and Letterman come most immediately to mind. As it turns out, Kovacs was the darling of critics, but a commercial flop, and none of his performances lasted more than a season or two. Like most visionaries, he was just too far ahead of the curve. It will take nearly half a century for the rest of us to catch up ... This is both sad and a little relief.

It turns out that grandma and the girls were probably playing bridge, after all.

only know the name, but I've never seen anything Kovacs. did not even know he was a guy from TV. HOWEVER! it sounds like it did for me back. I'll check a few points, after the inevitable crushing introduction rent subsides. I love humor weird / bad / dull. I prefer the good mood, I do not have as much love as Maypole.
