Carlin like we love him.......2007-02-12

I am a very big Carlin Fan - this one is like complaints and grievances simply amazing. If you like Carlin buy

A DOUBLE PACKAGE: LIBERAL AND BLASPHEMOUS. waste of money.......2004-07-08

I bought this DVD because there were alot of Carlin tapes and going fast. It turned out to be sacreligious, mean-spirited, liberal, and anti-america. If it weren't for the bit about "keeping America alert" I would have taken it back. MAYBE worth a rental if your EXTREMELY tolereant about disgusting humour and cursing.

The start of George Carlin's beautifully "angry" style.......2003-09-25

Although Carlin has always flexed his incredible talent for wit, precise exaggeration and calculated delivery, his style has inevitably changed over the years. In fact, certain albums mark definite turning points. With "FM & AM" (1972), Carlin decided to stick to his guns and perform his material that just wasn't "PG" rated for the 1970s. With "A Place For My Stuff" (1981), he cut the mellow personal anecdotes and refined his delivery speed and observational humor for the 1980s. And with "What Am I Doing In New Jersey?", Carlin begins his relentless style which we'd see through the 1990s.

Once you start listening to this CD, you'll realize that the man is not about to break into "Al Sleet, the Hippy-Dippy Weatherman" nor "Rice Krispies". The first track is an 11 minute long, angry social comentary. It's still very funny in places, however the material is quite dated. It wasn't until later albums (e.g. Parental Advisory, Back In Town) that he further honed and perfected this new cynical style. Since this track does take up 1/4 of the running time of the album, I begrudgingly don't give this album 5 stars.

However, the rest of the album is down right hilarious, and makes it well worth buying. "Now we come to the practical poriton of our show..." says George, as he starts with suggestions on "Keeping People Alert". .... He continues in a purposely dead-pan voice with his list of "People I Can Do Without", showing his twisted imagination. The second half of the album is "More Stuff on Cars & Driving". (For those wondering, the first set of driving jokes were on his "Carlin on Campus" special.) At first glance 20 minutes might seem a bit long for nothing but driving jokes, but Carlin keeps it incredibly flowing and varied, talking about toll booths, license plate mottoes, bumper stickers, other cars, how you should (not!) deal with a speeding ticket, and more, never missing a step.

Again, "What Am I Doing In New Jersey?" is most significant for marking a turning-point in Carlin's comedy style. But in and of itself, it remains a hilarious album.

Not George's best, but still a great one, nonetheless........2003-04-04

"What am I doing in New Jersey" is definately not some of George's best work but it is definately a good CD. On this CD, George rants about People he can do without, drivers, Ronald Reagan and many more. This album is still a must-own for any Carlin fan.

Best GC album since "A Place For My Stuff".......2003-02-10

The day I bought this Carlin album was the day I knew from than on I'd be a stand-up. This album made me laugh my [butt] off. It's hysterical: he questions things from cars and driving to american culture. I'm surprised this HBO special isn't available on video. I say his bit keeping people alert tops a place for my stuff. Without this album you're no fan of carlin.
