Editorial Review:

Filmed in 1993, this DVD captures comedian Dennis Miller's stand-up routine from the early 1990s. In his relentlessly cynical way, Miller hones in on such topics as President Clinton, political correctness, flying, Baywatch, and marriage. At the time, Miller had just lost his talk show (a casualty of the early-'90s talk show boom) and he certainly weighs in on that subject as well. Some of his funniest observations, though, are reserved for the topic of women in male locker rooms for postgame commentary. Though his material is topical, it's still fun watching Miller dissect the issues of the day in his sarcastic, sardonic manner. Live and uncensored, he tosses out verbal hand grenades that are guaranteed to offend right- and left-wingers alike. --Jerry Renshaw

3 out of 5 stars Starts off really slow.......2004-04-18

It seems like only the last 15 or 20 minutes is Dennis Miller at his ranting best, when he gets going on Barbra Streisand and pro-life activists. The beginning is not funny, he talks about himself too much! I'm glad I rented it and didn't buy it.

1 out of 5 stars Unfunny.......2003-10-09

There is nothing funny about Dennis Miller. He is WAY too self-important. This DVD blows.

2 out of 5 stars Dennis: Not at His Best.......2003-03-03

"Dennis Miller Live from Washington D.C." was the third and unfortunately the least of the acerbic comedian's hour long stand up comedy specials he taped before he began doing his weekly show for HBO. In the topical (both political and social) commentary that predominates, you can see him laying the foundations for what would be a successful ten seasons as late night's most adventuresome talk show host.

Unfortunately, the material is just not as strong as on the first two specials. A lot of the topical stuff is of course dated (the show was taped in early 1993, but the even older material on the earlier shows (1990 and 1987) are just plain funnier. Also, it must be noted that there are NO worthwhile extras on this DVD, despite its relatively high cost. Since all three of Dennis's HBO specials coauld easily fit on one DVD, this one feels a bit like a cheat. Don't get me wrong, I love Dennis Miller, I just don't love this DVD.

5 out of 5 stars Dennis at one of his best!.......2000-03-15

This was an awesome tape. This contained a lot of his most recent funny things and rages about american life and politics. Also includes what could be considered his first ever rant (about James Stockdale) which catapulted him into HBO stardom. It cost a bit but it is highly recommended for DM fans like me.
