Reviews

Regina Wolfe-Parks I bought a DVD collection of 64 Topper episodes from Nostalgia Merchant several years ago and just got around to watching it. I remember watching it as a kid some 50 (!) years ago and I still found it as funny now as I did then. However, I do have some complaints. The laugh track was so awful, more awful than usual fifties laugh tracks. It sounded like it was shown to a third grade class. The high pitched kiddie laughter made me want to scream! Then there was the quality of the videos. Some looked like they had been recorded off TV (I noted the "TV G" in the corner) and the end "throwaway" scenes were missing off of most of the episodes. The episodes were in such sorry shape. Then I wondered what happened to the missing 14 episodes. (There were 78 episodes in total.) Despite all this, it was good to see the episodes again, crappy shape, screaming kids, missing episodes and missing segments aside. I wish that someone would restore these episodes because for it's time, the writing and the situations were hilarious!
DKosty123 Anne Jeffreys, Robert Sterling & especially the talented Leo G Carroll made this series special. The casting has a chemistry that shows up with every episode I have seen. While the series was made in the early 1950's, I first saw some of them on Channel 9 New York City being re-run in the late 1970's. Not that it matters, the humor in this series is as timeless as any.Topper was actually a movie series prior to this being made. These shows were so good that I was very unhappy after catching some of them that Channel 9 stopped running them. Since I first saw this, I watched the movies. Even though the movies are very good with Cary Grant - this sitcom takes no second seat to the films.I am hopeful this show does come out on DVD in total plus any extras to be found. I'd like to see all of this one, and I am sure I have only seen a mere handful of them. What I have seen in this series hits the humor mark often.
possumopossum I came across a DVD of four episodes from this fifties show for $7.95. I had almost forgotten this show and how I enjoyed it as a kid when it was in syndication for a brief time back in the mid to late sixties. Leo G. Carroll in the title roll is a perfect foil for the fun-loving spirits of George and Marion Kirby. And speaking of spirits, I think Neal was the only alcoholic dog in history. He sure did love his booze. I've heard of dogs liking beer, but I've never known them to put away a whole case after drinking half a canteen full of gin. That was a hoot! (Love 'ya, Neal, you big dumb mutt!!!). It was his fondness of the drink that got George and Marion killed in the first place. I guess some dogs just never learn.This show is a forgotten classic, and well worth its weight in gold. You hardly ever see or hear of it any more, and that's too bad. Wish they would put it on Nick at Night or TVLand. Wouldn't mind a few more DVD's either. Great show.
Paul-271 Well, it might have been that I was so young, but I enjoyed this TV show enormously. My guess is that it was because it was so different from typical TV fare of then and even now.It relied on word play and clever dialog instead of idiotic situations and slapstick for its kick which is, I suppose, why I enjoyed it as a child. I've grown up to be a writer. For a shock, check out the writing credits for these shows and you'll see a *very* familiar name. I once, a few years ago, caught a re-run as a New Year's Day festival on a local TV channel and can report that it, unlike almost all shows from any era, holds up very well. Highly enjoyable if you can find it.
