DVD Reviews of Complete Kathy & Mo Show - Parallel & The Dark Side

DVD Review: I have waited for this for YEARS!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

Finally out on DVD and am I thrilled. I watched this show over and over after recording it from HBO onto a VHS. I have practically every line memorized. This show is as potent now as it was when it was created years ago. I think that says a lot--comedy doesn't always stand the test of time. But from the opening to the ending this is awesome.

Every skit has a lesson or political point. I can't say enough about how good the writing is, how funny it is, how sobering it is, how thought-provoking, etc.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it.

Parallel Lives is about 1000% better than the dark side, in my opinion. I don't know if I will ever watch the dark side again or if I would have even liked Kathy and Mo if I had only watched The Dark Side. I would encourage you to only watch that AFTER you have watched Parallel lives. But I would have happily paid the same price for Parallel lives alone.

DVD Review: Excellent writing and performance
Summary: 4 Stars

A compilation of their two HBO specials.

Parallel Lives is superior to The Dark Side, although even the latter has some great moments. But all the pieces in Parallel Lives are brilliant. The Mattie and Syvie section is brilliant, especially Mattie's monologue about her nephew Michael. Mo Gaffney, the least well-known of the duo, performs a comically delightful and technically astonishing pantomime to classical music in Parallel Lives that you don't want to miss. Definitely worth the $14.98 I paid for it. The bonus disc has amateur footage of other performances in other venues. While the quality is abysmal in most cases, it could be of interest to those curious about the creative process involved in developing a two-person self-scripted show like this.

DVD Review: Katny and Mo are the FUNNIEST WOMEN ALIVE!
Summary: 5 Stars

This order contains 2 DVDs. One is historical, and the quality is NOT good...filmed by family members and friends of the entertainers, and hard to watch for its poor sound quality, etc. BUT...the other DVD is the funniest thing you will ever see. Seriously. I've watched these two women do their Parallel Lives routine probably 20 times in the past 10 years, and I still laugh till I cry. Their humor is poignant, too, and brings tears to my eyes still. This is truly, honestly, the very BEST purchase you can make if you want your heart to be touched and your laughter to come all the way from your toes. Thank you, Kathy and Mo, for the gift of your humor.

DVD Review: If you like old favorites...
Summary: 4 Stars

then you will like this video. Parallel Lives was done many many years ago. It is a series of skits all unrelated except one which has a part 2 later in the show. All of Kathy's characters are hysterical, she has a way of making her character come alive and be funny.

The second DVD is The Dark Side and I honestly didn't watch too much of it be cause the picture quality is rough. It is from their early years and is filled by family and friends on whatever recording equipment they had at the time.

But overall, it brought back great memories to see this on DVD because it had been at least 16 years since I had saw it.

DVD Review: One of the funniest DVD's I own
Summary: 4 Stars

Even though you can sometimes catch highlights of this DVD on HBO, the complete set gives you such insight into their comic genius. I watch it over and over, and laugh my [...] off!
