    Could have been so much better with a premeditated structural format.

    This does have great comedians to talk about, and give their highlights of their careers, but what's really annoying is most of them don't even mention some of the greatest TV or Movies they where in, or tell about how the actor/actress passed away.

    It also repeats too much, like someone explaining a sketch word for word, then showing the clip of it, and then someone else repeats it again.

    I don't know if certain copyrights prevented certain films and TV couldn't be used, but there was no need to constantly repeat the same thing 2 times whilst also showing the clip, or not giving the full stories from start to finish.

    Its presentation structure is also very sloppy. Sometimes, you get a history of the episodes' main focus life story from when they were born to when they passed away, but others just start with their first TV/movie appearances and so on in order, where as others bounce from middle, end, start, somewhere else inbetween and then some random place.

    I dunno if it's down to lousey editing, time consumption, or things got cut for time, but it doesn't really show the true respect these great comedians really deserved in telling their history.

    If it was meant to just be a "Remember this" series, then it's what it's succeeded in doing, but it could have been so much better than it has been released as.
