The Groove Tube [DVD] [1972]

The Groove Tube was a precursor to many trends in adult entertainment, including "Saturday Night Live." It's a set of short stories, "commercials," and blackouts, featuring people like Richard Belzer and Chevy Chase. Aimed squarely at a mid-1970s young adult/college crowd, the humor is topical, risque, sometimes illicit. Overall, I would recommend The Groove Tube to anyone who had enjoyed it when it was released, and anyone younger who saw more comedy than the overt jokes on Saturday Night Live or Second City. This is a good catch.

Not as funny as Kentucky Fried Movie but still darn funny and raunchy at times. And it’s interesting to see some stars when they were young and still up and coming. Transfer is pretty good and will probably never look better than this.

This is a complete old school classic. Was looking for a new copy of this bizaar movie. My original was on a VHS VCR cassette tape and was very poor quality. The DVD is not remastered nor super high definition or anything, but it is all the complete skits without the poor picture problems my over-played cassette tape had. Shipped and arrived on time.

VERY dated. Still a fun watch if you grew up in the 60's & 70's. Might not apeal to a younger audience

THE GROVE TUBE...BRINGS BACK OLD MEMORIES....FUNNY MOVIE... BEST BUY....GREAT PRICE.... FAST SHIPPING....THANKS BEST BUY PAUL FROM BEAUTIFUL NEW YORK CITY...

I probably watched about 20 minutes before this one got a laugh out of me. Kinda interesting as a time capsule but don't be fooled - it's dated, Chevy Chase has a tiny role and the movie, overall, isn't very funny.
