If you are/were a fan of the show, then yes. If not, you might get a laugh out of a few of the sketches, tho most of them are extremely dated (as in almost every show has something making fun of Milli Vanilli). The Venus DiMilo and Homey the Clown bits are the best bits in this season, along with Home Boy Shopping Network and Anton sketches.

I used to watch this show religiously back when it was on TV. I rented the first disc to see if it was worth buying and I didn't laugh once. It turned out to be one of those things that was best left as a fond memory.

It might be worth it if you're a fan of Carrey. That's about the only thing I find funny about this show anymore. I used to love it when it was on, but it's lost a lot since then.

I rented it when it first came out, i never caught any of the reruns, so it was funny to see the old skits again. I didn't end up buying the set though, probably wouldn't really go back and re-watch it.

Season 1 seemed to be a very unfunny season. I bought it and after watching it all I realize all the good skits must of come after the first season.
I just ordered Season 2 and I'm hoping it'll be much better.

I hemmed and hawed about whether or not to buy this. I loved the show and had watched many of the classic skits in this set on tape. While I laughed and found a few of them still funny, most of the others were FF material now. I found myself skipping lots of stuff and am glad that I only rented the set. It just hasn't held up for me at all.

I think it's worth a purchase. The first season especailly has some great stuff.
