Maybe the best T.V. comedy of the early Sixties; very smart!
Car 54, Where are you? is an extremely clever, absolutely hilarious sitcom about the misadventures of the officers in a mythical precinct in the Bronx circa 1961.

Vaudeville style humor and intelligent writing are the trademarks of this series.

Fred (Herman Munster) Gwynne, and Joe E. Ross are the stars. Their contrasting personalities and intellects are the central point of the humor.

The first episodes, (Vol. 1) are about the funniest videos this fan has ever seen. The staccato silliness, and the absurd situations make for great 25 minute viewing.

Currently, Amazon carries Vol. 1 - 6. It would be a real treat to find the subsequent seasons which added Al Lewis (Granpa Munster), and Larry Storch of "F Troop" fame. Lewis as one of the officers, and Storch as the town drunk.

All in all, one could do a lot worse for $8.99. ... Read more

"Muldoon's Star": One Of The Funniest TV Episodes Ever!
"Muldoon's Star" could be the funniest TV episode ever. A brilliant spoof of Marylin Monroe it features some dialouge and scenes that are beyond hysterical including 2 scenes involving Fred Gynne and a milk bottle. Also listen for the pair of nice old ladies near the beginning who totally dead pan say: Lady 1:"Wasnt that Gunther Toody ripping the dress off a beautiful blonde?" Lady 2: "Yes I believe that was Gunther Toody ripping the dress off a beautiful blonde." ... Read more

Fascinatingly Awful
I saw this film on television decades ago, when I was extremely young.It was ludicrous then, but more so now. The premise of Knotts being, by misadventure, transformed into the figurehead of a Playboy-type empire is actually amusing, sometimes pathetic. Where this film (made in 1969) perhaps unknowingly hits home is when censors are shown to be interested in the material they want suppressed. They are, perhaps, seeking to censor something inside them. The film also scores when the sharp-witted editor (Ann Francis) of Knott's magazine, "Peacock," sees him and it as innovators of a trend where sex portrayed openly does not have to be sleazy.That the minister father of the small town girl Knotts wants to marry insists, toward the film's end, on Knotts's publicly declaring himself "pure" is actually more degrading than his duped role as a sex symbol.This film, in its way, symbolizes a changing era.

Very Underrated Don Knotts Movie!!
The Don Knotts Movie"The Love God" had just a tinge of naughtiness in it compared to his other movies which were more family orientated and surprised many but otherwise Don Knotts acted brilliantly at his best.It's a very underrated,must see Movie!!

Superb!! Very Underrated Don Knotts Movie!!

I saw this movie, but I'm not sure what I saw.
This is quite an odd movie, and what makes it weirder is its premise. A pornographer lost his mailing license, so he buys up Don Knotts' failing magazine, and being publishing his rag under the name of Don Knotts's paper. Knotts, who has been in Brazil bird watching, comes back and gets mistaken for a wild playboy, and gets alienated from his small town heart-of-gold girlfriend.

So this is like a cross between "The People vs. Larry Flint" and "A Face In The Crowd," but with the twitchy Don Knotts trying to pass himself off as a n Austin Powers type of swinger.

This is quite an odd film, and it dragged and sagged in many areas. It has a lot of interesting secondary characters, and a very contrived ending. This film is listed as PG-13, even though it was released in 1969, so I am not sure of the original rating, since PG-13 was invented in 1984 after people got mad at "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom."

Knotts At His Best
This was a missfire at the box office.

It was also the first Don Knotts film to miss getting a "G" rating.

It's also his best film, in my own humble opinion.

There is absolutley nothing offensive about this gentle little comedy that has Don Knotts duped into becoming the publisher of a racy mens magazine.

The laughs come fast, the script is wonderful, there is a wonderful song in the middle of the film called "Mister Peacock" (Don's character's name is Abner Peacock") that has Don strutting to the music, in a montage of openings of the "peacock" club's around the world, and the pacing is just right!

Of course, in the end, Don realize's he can't buy into this lifestyle and he winds up marrying his virginal high school sweetheart- what a wonderful movie! I am so glad it's finally on video! ... Read more

Joe E. Ross, Fred Gwynne, Al Lewis and a talented group of actors made Car 54 one of the most funny and original shows of the 60's. Its humor has withstood the test of time. If you enjoyed watching the show on cable, you will love the ininterupted video version that has some scenes never before viewed on television. ... Read more
