Good representation of popular YBYL episodes, with some editing.
nice set of Groucho stuff. Some YBYL episodes seem to be on other compilations, but nice to have this anyway. Most are *complete shows, and the re-mastering of the video portions of the episodes cleaned them up quite nicely. Better video than many of the "other" YBYL dvd's that are out there. There has been some editing done, usually the opening credits or end credits and plugs, but edited and pieced together nicely. I had to laugh because disk 1 episode 1 opens with a 1958 Desoto commercial, yet another commercial on this same episode advertises the 1954 Desoto. oops!..someone wasn't paying attention. The episodes seem to have been transferred from film or film negatives, not kinescopes. Audio quality could have been better though. Most episodes, the audio is quite low. That's why it only gets 4 stars instead of 5.

Complete TV shows including the commercials from 1950's
"You Bet Your Life" these are good DVD's. A rare Black and White TV show from the dawn of Television Broadcasting.Funny Guy Groucho Marx is one of the Marx Brothers comedy team from the 1930's. Filmed live on stage in front of a studio audience. Contestants answering questions and winning cash is only half of this hit show. Groucho interviewing the couples to see why they wanted to be on "You Bet Your Life" is the funniest part of the program.

You can't go wrong with Groucho! Thiis contains not only his quiz show but a rare TV appearance with his movie foil Margaret Dumont as they recreate a scene from the movie "Animal Crackers".

Each weekly show very entertaining and fun Interesting to see 1950s style entertainment adverts, etc
The weekly Shows are fun and very entertaining. Doesn't matter that they are in Black and White. Groucho Marx and George Finneman are well matched. Groucho very relaxed. His questions to the contestants are fairly direct and a bit personal. George is a very good speaker and good looking.
