4/5 Rare and Classic L & H You won't find anywhere else!!
  by Jake Marsico (Flagstaff,AZ)
What a great DVD package! Platinum's 2-disc "Laurel & Hardy-TV Classics" edition is a great tribute to present some of the earlier solo works of one of the most beloved and greatest comedy teams in film history!! Disc one in the collection contain the following shorts SAW MILL,KID SPEED,ENOUGH TO DO,WEST OF THE HOT DOG,ORANGES AND LEMONS,TREE IN A TEST TUBE (an educational short made by the U.S. Forest Service Dept. and their only film appearance in color!),and their first onscreen appearance together,LUCKY DOG.Plus,you'll also get their last feature film UTOPIA (which for some strange reason has Hal Roach credits since this film was made outside the U.S.).Disc two features the 'other' L & H public domain feature FLYING DEUCES and the following shorts PAPER HANGERS HELPER,YES NANETTE,HOP TO IT BELLHOP,the Hal Roach-produced STOLEN JOLES (which features Wallace Berry,Edward G.Robinson,The Little Rascals,and Laurel & Hardy in the famous car-trouble scene!),and Stan Laurel's three-reeler MUD AND SAND.All the films in this collection have good,but not great picture and sound quality and all of their silent shorts contain music scores (with the exception of MUD AND SAND which is totally silent!).This is an absolute must-have DVD for any Laurel & Hardy fan and is an absolute opporatunity to see Stan and Ollie in their solo shorts,most of which haven't been seen in almost six decades! Thank you Platinum for preserving and presenting the early years of Laurel & Hardy!!! Long live Stan & Ollie!!!

1/5 Disappointed with the movies included on the DVD
  by Gert (Minnesota)
Majority of the movies on the DVD were silent movies made by Laurel & Hardy. That was not stated in the description of this DVD.

5/5 Old Movies
  by Cindy L. Stanley (Va Beach, Va)
I love the old movies and this was a great one to add. The shipping was in a very timley manner for Christmas. The DVDS were well packaged and the provider was excellent!

2/5 dvd
  by A. Grecu (nashville, tn)
dvd remastered fairly, as expected. Delivery on the other hand was poor. I even forgot I ordered it before Christmas (received a month later)
