Description

|
|
|
Containing over 13 hours of content, on six DVDs, this boxed set spans the all-too-brief but brilliant TV career of this hugely influential comic artist. Covering the period from 1951–61, the collection contains highlights from his earliest local morning shows in Philadelphia through his NBC prime-time shows and the ABC specials that represented the peak of his offbeat humor and creative experimentation with the new medium. Also included are Kovacs' award-winning Dutch Masters cigar commercials, some short films, and a 44-page booklet of rare photos, program notes, and an essay by novelist Jonathan Lethem.
