Based on this review, would the user recommend this product? === Review: I bought this as a gift for my husband, from his wish list, so I didn't know what to expect. The first one, or two of the shows from the series was damaged due to poor storage, and the sound isn't very good. But you can still understand what's going on. After that, the quality improves and the shows are as funny as I remember them. What a treat to have this piece of television history at our disposal. If you're a Baby Boomer and ever watched TV as a kid, this is truly a walk down memory lane. I hadn't remembered that Tony Randall was a regular on the show, and a bit of interesting trivia is that Wally Cox (Mr. Peepers), was close and personal friend of Marlon Brando. And I must add that Marion Lorne is perfect as the dottering school marm. She had perfected her routine to a science and a signature (or perhaps she was just dotty). At any rate, I recommend this set very highly. Answer:
Yes

Yes, but thats not saying much, given the very poor sound produced by such "freebie" phones.You're much better off buying some phones from AKG (the K240 Studio for example, especially if you like bass), Sennheiser (the hd555 is a very nice choice), or Grado (the sr-60 costs half of what the tri-ports cost and offers easily three times the sound quality). Answer:
No

Based on this review, would the user recommend this product? === Review: Sir Colin Davis is no Bruckner conductor. Not even close. Why he thought he could handle the unfinished 9th symphony is beyond me. His conducting, which I like but certainly not here, is not forceful or powerful enough. Davis' detail oriented approach does not work with Bruckner's music. Why did Davis think he could perform Bruckner? What possessed him to do such a thing? Money? Politics? Trying to please somebody? I don't know, but his tempos and building of climaxes are awful and so out-of-tune with the music. The LSO also play terrible here (must have caught them on an off-night) and clearly can't handle the sheer brute force it takes to pull off this symphony.Davis should be commended for treading into unknown territory (for him), but many times it doesn't work, and this recording is further proof of this notion. He's simply no match for Wand, Chailly, Karajan, or even Barenboim (who isn't that great of a conductor). Answer:
No

Based on this review, would the user recommend this product? === Review: I am a big Ellen Degeneres fan, this audio CD does her no justice. Although she reads it herself, much of her comedy is her impeccible sense of timing and her facial expressions that accompany her schtick. Obviously she can't use either of those tools with the audio CD. Hence, it comes across flat and lifeless. While the material is funny enough, I'm sure Ellen herself will admit, the delivery is the most important part of comedy. As anyone who has ever tried to tell a joke will attest it is all about timing and delivery. Answer:
