History of Rock N Roll, The - Boxed Set (DVD, 2004, 5-Disc Set)
May 26, 2018
5 hours of lame content
Regardless of your age or particular years of interest, no in depth disclosures here. The same 4- maybe 5- artists with their perspectives re appear in several segments. Great--but those 20 minutes total are the only worthiness this foiled foiled box set has to offer. Most ALL segments lack basic enlightment of their theme. WEAK!! After 30 years of reading accounts of rock and roll's history you're much better off reading 5 or 6 books- and there are a FEW well made videos. THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM.

THE CLEAVERS HIT HARD AND STRAIGHT ON
It makes no difference wheather you were raised in the city or the 'burbs, the economic or social status of your household, nor the strick guidelines set, or relegious beliefs- The Cleaves hit hard. The glaring gaudy surrealism of the series unwittingly, yet simoutaneiously, crafted a poularation through identiy. In doing so, the very itpitism of Cleaverism has withstood the test of time. Who, among the baby boomers can't readily identify to the numerious and exact escapades via your black and white Motorola? As sureal as the Cleaver household was the post war depiction of Americana was after all, only tv. Yet as much as things change they often remain the same, hence the shows timeless captivation, perhaps coupled to a yurning for what we were. In my own personal twisted idealogy, perhaps the first reality show, subdued under the context of "no elbows on the table" and pearl necklaces. May we be excused? Leave It To Beaver took us from Give-a-Show projectors to the tedious selection of the lastest Top 40 hit aa many plots revolved around Waly, Eddy, my favorite. Again the writers cleverly subjecting viewers to nothing more than mirroring the eneitable..growing up. Most all of us growing up can relay to the endearment held for a sibling's friend, some fondly, other not quite so. While not a devout follower of The Cleaver Contiguant [equal to the Star Treky fandomonia] for many boomers, such as myself, and for generations beyond, plentyful rerun synacation welcomed us all into the living rooms of Desi and Lucy, Ozzie and Harrette, Rob and Laura, identical cousins and our three sons. All great examples of "cute" clairvoyances reflecting the tymes as scripted by the Desi/Thomas/Reiners in their prime, and maybe.... "ours" as well. Of all, there are three serials that continue to flicker brightly above their counter parts. Two of which are; that tiny kichen of Ralph and Aice and the courthouse of Mayberry. One, for it's true grit personia of real survival in the face of heart warming intent often gone array, countered with relentless forgiving devotion. The other, for it's illresistable luny escapades countered by the ever-preveiling good old fashion common sense. These two shows were never that far from reality in that their key "counterism" played a vital role in not only plots but provided something more- a conection between the warm glow of tubes and the not-so subcounious of the viewers. The third serial being, Leave It To Beaver, is no exception. For behind those Revue Studio backdrops was our front porch. As scripts were finalized around the writer's table they could have well parlayed convesation over our own diner tables. We identified then and as now, and that is precesley why these three shows are in fact,timeless. With certainty others would cast their perceptions into our living rooms from the home spun Waltons to the sted fast bluntness of Archie Bunker. Barney Millner I consider to be the very last tv show worthy of my time and last year unplugged tv from my home entirly- and for the final time. While all tv reflects the tymes, or attempts to, my time- with 57 channels and there's nothing on- is worth more. May I be excused? Don't excuse yourself from a panarama of the way we were, so far from the real world.....yet so very close. I anxiously await the package arrival. "Beevur....Gitt/Down/Here......."
