Review of Hennesey

Hennesey (1959–1962)
8/10
Hennesey DVDs
12 December 2008
DVDs of Hennesey are available on the semi-bootleg market. I will just say one word..."ioffer.com". You track them down from there. I believe the show was rebroadcast on a limited basis in the 80s and these recordings seem to date from then. I say that because you can see a snippet of a commercial in one show, and it's in color, for CDs of Christmas music.

One commenter says there was no laugh track in the original show. I have no memory of that at all, but I've watched the pilot and the first two regular episodes, and they have laugh tracks. In principle they could have been overdubbed for rebroadcast, of course. Or it may have been dropped in later episodes.

The DVDs are acceptable in quality for bootlegs. Nobody's ever going to restore this stuff like it was Citizen Kane, you know. They're a little contrasty at times, the audio level can be low, but it's the same show you remember.
