Summary: Flucuating dress sizes, a dozen hairstyles, and 20 years worth of guests equals Oprah
Comment: Let me make something clear. I think that Oprah is a prime example of the American Dream. She was born a poor black girl in the South and survived the odds including rape/sexual abuse, poverty, and a miscarriage when she was a teen. She is perhapes one of the richest black women in the world. Here's the bad part. I think that her ego has blown out of proportion in the last couple years. She acts like she's an expert on everything and she's not as gracious as she used to be. Luckily, old and new O can be found on this 6 disc, 20 year retrospect dvd set. Yep, it's a mouthful. Present day Oprah guides us through the clips, sharing her thoughts during the interviews and even her regrets. This is a good and not so good thing. I was very interested to hear what she thought about particular shows, but not all of them. Her commentary is sometimes lengthier than the actual set of clips and there's only so much of "expert" O I can take. Her 40th and 50th birthdays are also here and are complete opposites of each other. Oprah seems genuinely surprised when she discovers that Patti Labelle, Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, and the audience are throwing her a party. She's even affectionate with Stedman and is nicer to Gayle. Her 50th is another story. Over the top doesn't even describe it. The most annoying part is when tapes from celebs pals extolling O's greatness are played and Oprah isn't even paying attention. Tina Turner, Stevie Wonder, and Josh Groban stop by to perform, but it all seems so forced. Thanks, but no thanks. Oprah seemed alot more humble and likeable circa 1986 to the mid 1990s. She seemed genuinely invested in what her guests had to say and she actually let them finish their sentences. She was funny and didn't mind letting herself be silly. Just more real. The most real moment is her 1990 interview with Truddi Chase, a woman who experienced a childhood of horrific physical and sexual abuse and dealt with her pain by splitting into a number of distinct personalities. While reading the teleprompter, Oprah breaks down and faces her own painful childhood. No wonder people really liked her back then. Anyway, all of O's most memorable moments are here, from her 1988 fat in the wagon show to her 2004 "you get a car!" surprise. There are no extras here since this entire set is a huge extra in itself. Pick it up.

Summary: wendy on oprah
Comment: This set is highly recommended. Aside from being one third the price it is here in Perth, it is put together so well, clearly and concisely and a wonderful stroll down memory lane of the best selections of Oprah. We have not had the show in Australia for the whole time, so many of the interviews and early segments I have never seen. The selection is the best of the best and although this has been out a couple of years now, I am glad I waited to purchase mine at such a great price. Wendy Sullivan, Perth Western Australia.

Summary: The Oprah Winfrey Show
Comment: Forbes magazine has called Oprah Winfrey the Queen of all Media. Nielsen Media Research has called her the #1 talk show. Many good and great shows on this collection. Oprah Winfrey has dabbled in politics this year, promoting and touring for 'The One'. The one who received more votes than any Presidential Primary candidate in the history of the United States is Senator Hillary Clinton (Interesting reading: Peniel Cronin,Primary versus Caucus)
Customer Rating:
Summary: The Oprah Winfrey Show - not a very good product
Comment: How could it be a good product? Just like her everyday show, it's shallow and boring. The interviews have no substance and they focus too much on Oprah and not on the guest. There is no quality or substance in this product, and the editing is bad too.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Enjoyable to Watch
Comment: I have not finished watching the entire thing. But I am certain this is one product one will watch over and over again.
