I found this video enjoyable and the production quality of the DVD decent.
Essentially it is a string of black and white television clips of Dean Martin singing presented in a music-video style (right down to the MTV-esque printing of the song information in the lower left corner of the screen).
The bland, milktoast narrator gives an initial introduction before each clip starts-- but the narration is generally not very informative or insightful--comments are rather generic and give basic facts about the song (year of recording and sometimes the artist who orignially recorded it) or Dean's life which most fans already know (that he was born in Stubenville, Ohio; that he drank apple juice instead of liquor onstage; etc).
Ways to improve this DVD would be to have an option where you... More Info about this DVD Actor(s): Dean Martin DVD Release Date: Released the 09 December 2003 Usually ships within 24 hours

Unlike many of the old TV shows Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis stand up well against todays shows. I held off for two weeks before watching the episodes because I wanted to find a time when nothing better was on. Once I popped them in my DVD I watched them all in one weekend. The humor still made me laugh and the music still kept me spell bound.
As an added bonus, I noticed small glimpses of history, such as small hints of their fighting and Jerry's early fund raising for Muscular Dystrophy.
I only have one drawback to report. These shows date back to before the time that TV camera angles changed every few seconds. The skits sometimes seem to drag on about twice the length of modern skits. This didn't bother me, but a person with pronounced ADHD might not sit through them as well.
