5 out of 5 stars Excellent!.......2007-03-13

This disk was my introduction to Carlin and I was hooked. Full of classic hilarious lines "Tonight's forecast ... Dark," "Not anymore Monty" and introduced a lot of things our mothers would say. This was way before he became over political in his act and the majority of the material is gut-wrenching belly laugh humor at its best! George is definately the best comic genious of our time!

4 out of 5 stars He's Smarter Than Most, but Kind of Wicked.......2005-11-02

Carlin has such a quick wit and has observations about life that prompt one to say, "Oh yeah, I've never thought about it that way before." If you can get past his vulgarity and understand his unique humanity, then you will be able to appreciate this comic genius. He was not afraid and still is not afraid to tackle the very controversial topics such as birth control, drugs and others. His impression of radio DJ's is very funny and he has a good grasp of the English language.

5 out of 5 stars Carlin's first ... and the start of a new phase in his career.......2005-08-01

George Carlin is definitely the thinking person's comic. He's always been right on target with his observations and tackles topics that many comedians - then and now - wouldn't even think to discuss.

In the 1980's, the rise of unabashed hypocritical tele-evangelists, and their flock, screamed for a sane answer and George was it ... and then some. He always had a bad habit of touching nerves with the raw truth.

His comedy is like a fine wine, it improves with time. FM & AM was the start of a new phase in his career - completely casting aside the clean-cut image and started telling it like it is (he couldn't be The Hippy Dippy Weatherman forever).

5 out of 5 stars Classic George!!!.......2003-09-08

All the classic early George is here: Shoot, Hippy Dippy Weatherman, The News. It will keep you laughing for days!!!

5 out of 5 stars High Wattage.......2001-06-20

FM & AM is another classic George Carlin album from the early 70's. The album is broken up into the FM side that contains his new, hippie side and the AM side is a throw back to his earlier comedy roots. Both sets of routines show that Mr. Carlin could be topical and cutting edge in his humor focusing on counterculture issues of the day like use of vulgar language, drugs and sex or could slide into universal routines like mocking radio station DJ's, newscasts & Ed Sullivan. His "11 O'Clock News" bit is an absolute scream as he mocks the typical talking heads of local newscasts who take themselves way more seriously than everyone else does. In "Sex In Commercials:, he skewers the supposed wholesome images of products that use a subliminal message sex to get you buy their stuff. His Ed Sullivan routine is great. FM & AM shows that George Carlin is a comic who can inhabit numerous comedy styles and make us laugh at all of them.
