Part of The Sid Caesar Collection, The Magic of Live TV comes to DVD from Creative Light Entertainment presented with a standard full-frame transfer in the original black-and-white with a Dolby Digital soundtrack. Bonus features include footage from the 1999 Friars Club honoring Caesar featuring
Jonathan Winters. Other celebrity features include a bonus musical sketch with
Benny Goodman with drum solos by
Gene Krupa, as well as an interview with
Carl Reiner. The technically minded may appreciate the side-by-side comparisons of the digital restoration process. The disc also contains a clip from Caesar's "Airplane Movies" routine. Other special features include photo galleries, closed captions, and biographies of the writers and cast members. Highly recommended for fans of classic television comedy. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide
