- The original NATLAMP writers would have a field day
The contributing writers of NATLAMP would have a field day with the quality of this disk. I can see the parody now; Sweat shop, Cheney like figure slashing the whip, dirt munching troglodytes lining up to purchase the product that, though inferior in quality, is the best they could ever hope to expect according to the corporate scum that purveys the sub-standard gnosh to them.
And still... I'd buy it for my best friend. Where else can you hope to find the most insightful and raunchy ... Read More

- This is NOT a complete collection
I gave it two stars only because of what actually WAS there. It was nice to be able to see these again without spending a month browsing auction sites. Otherwise I'd go one star or less.
This collection must have been pulled from someones basement. Many issues are missing whole segments, and I think at least a couple of entire issues are missing.
The source material looks worn and faded, and the scans are awful. Pages are misaligned and often the last few lines of text are ... Read More
Rating: - A Mixed Blessing
Those of us who went to college in the early 1970's surely remember the "POON!"It was far more irreverant than Mad Magazine, and when the "POON" attacked, it did it with gloves off.The National Lampoon was the Holy Grail of everything that was subversive and irreverent to the counter culture.
And now at last, those of us who loved that magazine can relive those days, albeit in a cruddy quality .pdf scan product.

- Incomplete
Does not all of the articles published by National Lampoon - there appears to have been some censuring - BOOOH!HISS!!
Takes forever to search.
This DVD appears to have been made from page scans and many articles are not very readable.

- Great Idea - Lousy Execution
In a rash moment, I sold my collection of National Lampoon magazines dating from April, 1970 through 1985. I replaced it with this DVD...big mistake. The DVD edition could have been much better with a little more effort in creating an index search and enhancing the quality of the scans. Still, I sold my mags for almost $400 and spent only $27 on the DVD. With patience, it suffices but I hope an enhanced version is released soon.
