Nunsense 3: The Jamboree - Starring Vicki Lawrence

The Jamboree I enjoy Vicki Lawrence, but the creators should have stuck to the orignal cast. The original Sister Mary Paul was very, very, funny. Sister Mary Regina's "cameo" appearance just wasn't enough. Though all the actors and actresses were great, they could never "fill the shoes" of the original cast. If you are a Nunsense fan, I don't advise purchasing "Jamboree", as it was a real disappointment, compared with Nunsense 1 and 2. A Wonderful DVD This is a great series. I wish Rue McClanahan had been in this one more. Vicky Lawrence is a great addition to the cast and it was hilarious when "Mama" showed up! Nunsense Jamboree I thought was a very funny DVD, some of the sight gags were histerical and Vickie Lawrence was terrific as Sister Amnesia. I would truly recommend this DVD, especially to those who love the nunsense shows. Click to Editorial Reviews

Nunsense is still the magic word... Nunsense 2 is just about as much fun as the original Nunsense, and the cast members (all nearly perfect) that performed in the video of the original are all back.

It also isn't completely faithful to the stage version--two extra actors were cast to round out the story. They weren't needed, though, and their roles (such as they are) feel unnecessary and extraneous. Despite these problems, if you liked the first Nunsense, you'll probably like Nunsense 2. And if you didn't see the first one, y...
