Garv’s Pick of the Week: Ernie Kovacs: Take a Good Look (Shout! Factory)
For the release week of 10/17/17:
Garv’s Pick of the Week:Ernie Kovacs: Take A Good Look: The Definitive Collection [DVD / Shout Factory]: The fact that this is my “pick of the week” should come as no surprise, as I recently reviewed this 7-disc box set and called it the “video release of the year.” The collection contains all 49 surviving episodes of Ernie Kovacs’ bizarro sketch comedy/game show hybrid. This incredibly entertaining release gets my very highest recommendation! Check out my full review here.
