Season One of Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List comes to DVD for the first time ever, giving an insider's look into the personal life of one of America's top comedians. Join Kathy, the hilarious performer who's not afraid to speak her mind, as she navigates her way through the ruthless world of Hollywood surrounded by a supportive but motley posse: her husband Matt, wine-loving parents, trusty assistant, and two "Main Gays." Nominated for a 2006 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Reality Program, this 2-disc set includes every irreverent Season One episode, a sneak peek episode of Season Two, and the entire stand-up special Kathy Griffin Is... Not Nicole Kidman. Your jaw will drop and you'll laugh 'til it hurts as she deconstructs show business myths and legends in this must-own show Newsweek calls "a subculture sensation."

Summary: It's Reality...Yet Very Good!!!
Comment: I watched this series from its first day and have to say that I was hooked. She is able to bring her life, which I think is A-List, although she is a self-described D-Lister, is one which I am glad is brought to TV and DVD. I bought this DVD the day it came out on store shelves and this is one of those rare DVD's which I watch quite a lot, most of the DVD's in my collection get very little use. Kathy Griffin as a comedian is one of the best who I have as much respect for as some other pillars of female comics like Phyllis Diller and Margaret Cho!!! This DVD is one which you should pick up if Kathy even peaks your interest!!!

Summary: Do Not Buy: Censored Version
Comment: First of all, I love Kathy Griffin and the one star rating is not about the show. My complaint is about the release of a censored version. Although Kathy's humor is not based on profanity, I don't want to pay for a censorved version of her show that I can just as well watch on TV. I'm submitting for a refund.

Summary: Unbelievably hilarious special inside, and the series is very interesting and funny
Comment: If you like Kathy Griffin, then you will love this dvd set. There are 6 episodes of her reality show, which is very interesting, she does live an interesting and eventful life, especially when she's on the road, she definitely makes it interesting, and what's even better, there are clips here and there of her appearances and stand-up acts. So when you watch the special included on the second disc, "Kathy Griffin is... Not Nicole Kidman" well.....I never laughed so much, it was LOL non-stop and I got a sore throat afterwards, because it was so funny. Of course it's full of f*** words and the lot but she is even funnier than Ellen. I know she makes fun of celebrities, but we can afford the luxury of watching from our homes and not feel insulted by it. So if you can do that, you will have a roll.
After watching the special I am ordering the Allegedly dvd rightaway, I hope there will be more shows of her put on dvd and hope for the subsequent releases of her reality show, seeing as those even won Emmys.

Summary: Fascinating, funny, revealing
Comment: I'd seen Kathy Griffin live at a local theatre, and also enjoyed her on "Suddenly Susan" and particularly when she co-hosted a New Year's Eve show this past December 31 with Anderson Cooper, not to mention her many appearances on TV over the years. She always makes me laugh, and that's the main reason I wanted to catch up on "D-List," as I don't have cable and the DVD was on sale for a remarkably low price. I'm not sure it's best to watch too many episodes in a row, as I did when I first got the DVD (four episodes in a row, for example, on my first viewing), as Kathy is one intense woman--at least as portrayed here. That's not a bad thing overall, as her intensity is part of the reason she can be so overwhelmingly funny, but I would suggest taking a break between episodes. It's fascinating to watch her hang with her parents, "her gays," as she calls two of her best male friends, her assistant, and her husband as she navigates the clearly treacherous waters of life in Hollywood. Never has it been both so glamourous and so depressing--it should be viewed by anyone wanting to break into that lifestyle, for cautionary purposes! But, in the end, the viewer gets the feeling you could survive--and laugh--through most of it if one of your friends in Hollywood happened to be Kathy. I recommend this DVD if you're a fan of Kathy's or if you're fascinated by behind-the-scenes Hollywood...or if you just like to laugh!
