George Carlin: Personal Favorites

George Carlin: Personal Favorites.
Original HBO airdate: circa 1996.
Written by and starring George Carlin
Director: Rocco Urbisci
Available from Amazon.

Sixty minutes of more of George Carlin's more notable onstage routines from his past HBO specials, with a lot of material recycled from George's Best Stuff, leaving only half a DVD of stuff you perhaps haven't seen before if you chose to watch the other disc first.

Here's what you can't find on the first DVD I reviewed earlier today:

Carnegie Hall, 1982: Hitler
Los Angeles, 1986: Hello Goodbye
Carnegie Hall, 1982: Dirty Words
Los Angeles, 1986: Earrings
Los Angeles, 1977: Kids
Carnegie Hall, 1982: Odds & Ends
Union City, NJ, 1988: We Like War
Los Angeles, 1986: It's Not a Sport

Pick one or the other if you're faced with a choice of this DVD, or George's Best Stuff, but not both. Slightly recommended otherwise.
