Dolly is Amazing...leaves you wanting more!
I first purchased a VHS set of Dolly Parton's entire 1976 show, "Dolly". There were 26 delightful episodes, that were entertaining, fun, sometimes cheesy, always over the top, and very fascinating. Even though the tapes are worn and the print wasn't good, since it was from an original 1970's VCR recording, I loved the episodes and paid a great deal of money for them.
When I heard that they were putting part of that variety show on DVD I was excited. I got my copy and I LOVE IT!!! Dolly looks absolutely stunning and so incredibly different in a remastered DVD than a 25 year old copy. I was almost startled at the clarity of both sound and picture. It is a nice taste of what the series has.
What is disappointing is that it is missing SOOOO much of the series. She had many amazing and sometimes bizarre guests during it's run. We only get to see a bit of the magic of Dolly in the '70s. It would be nice if this company would put out a DVD set of her show from 1976 because her fan base practically NEEDS it. Every episode has the viewer wanting to know what she is going to wear next, as she floats down from the ceiling on her red velvet swing, all rhinestoned jumpsuits, unbelievably engineered outfits, and immaculately coiffed, bouffant, platinum hair. She smiles and has the flash and dimples we have come to love from her. She easily sings all kinds of material. THere are cute comedy sketches and little gems throughout. But we don't get to see all of that on here.
Hopefully they will realize that Dolly fans will buy a DVD boxed set of this series. When I bought my VHS copies, almost 10 years ago, people were paying upwards of $300. I think there is a market. I hope they see that, since this is such an amazing period in Dolly's career, right after leaving Porter Wagoner, right before super stardom. MPI needs to make this happen!
Get it, because Dolly is always stunning, always entertaining, and always a joy to enjoy!

Charming!
What a nice surprise. I love to buy concert/video/music DVD's and was on the prowl again for something new. Although I love Dolly, this was a "What the heck.." kind of purchase. I'm so glad I bought it. The guests each do several, well chosen, songs with Dolly, and you also get Dolly covering some songs of the times. I would compare the production values to a Welk type show (with less of a supporting cast) but still wonderful and fun to watch. | | Reviewed on 2008-03-08 
A must have for any hardcore Dolly fan.
I enjoyed the dvd greatly. I have always been curious about her show and I was so happy when I heard it was being released on dvd. I wish that she would've kept going with the show because it would've only gotten better. I liked how in most of the episodes she started with a song not of her own. She did a great job on others songs as well as her own. She was just typical Dolly throughout the whole program. | | Reviewed on 2008-02-21
A must for any Dolly fan!
I immediately watched it when I got it in the mail. I had been so interested in seeing what her show was like for a very long time. Some if the camera work isn't great, but you can't expect much from that time period. I loved the song choice throughout the whole show. If you haven't seen it and you are a big Dolly fan, buy it. | |
