Buy CPO Sharkey DVDs and skip this collection
My parents love Don Rickles' type of humor. So I was thrilled when I saw this ULTIMATE TV collection and knew I just had to buy it for them. Without giving anything away as far as content goes, the DVDs of his television appearances were abbreviated and not all that funny. He and Don Adams were supposed to be "hilarious" but I don't think I heard my parents laugh more than a couple of times.However, Don Rickles' series CPO Sharkey, that lasted only two seasons, was the definite bright spot of this entire collection. I watched a couple of episodes myself and found them entertaining. So, if you love Don Rickles' humor, catch him all over YouTube when he performed on the Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts or when he was a guest on Johnny Carson or David Letterman's show. And then simply buy the boxed set of CPO Sharkey which will end up costing you way less money.

It was good to see Mr
Some of the CDs were pieced together clips of shows. It was good to see Mr. Rickles in more natural settings, but I was expecting something a bit more professional. That being said, it was still nice to see older clips of Mr. Rickles.

Its okay
I expected a tad bit more, but I did not really know what would arrive anyway. Its decent but by no means the Rickles I am used to watching. His appearances on the Tonight Show and Letterman were by far much more entertaining. All in all good to have in your collection if you like early 1970's Rickles style comedy.

The one and only captured for us and our kids.
What I love is everything but the CPO Sharkey sitcom - I had forgotten how bad that was. But Rickles doing standup or dicing it up with a talk show host, or roasting someone, is brilliance!
