Oprah's 20th Anniversary Collection is 6 DVDs of Oprah hits... Unfortunately teh Oprah Winfrey Show DVD won't include a 6 disc analysis of Tom Cruise jumping all over the sofa... but it does include highlights of the show during the last 20 years. And best of all - all proceeds go to Oprah's foundation and a series of charities. Thats outstanding news as this DVD is already a collector's item and is fetching big $$$. If that impresses you - well its a symbol of the kind of segments you will see on the Oprah 20th Anniversary Collection. Whatever you think of Oprah - you must agree she is a brilliant businesswoman! Oprah's handwritten introduction to the DVD set: Dear Friends, It's hard to believe that two decades have passed since I started this show, but when I spent time choosing some of the most unforgettable moments we've shared over the years for this DVD collection, all the memories came flooding back. So much emotion, lots of tears—happy and sad ones. Experiences that made us laugh out loud, surprises that had us jumping for joy. It's been one extraordinary ride! Every show you'll see here holds such profound meaning for me. It's a privilege to share it with viewers like you who helped define our #1 success for 20 seasons. I thank you. I appreciate every hour you've spent watching us grow forward. It is my heart's desire that the future will allow me to give back to the world much of what has been given to me—an opportunity to do well, to thrive, and most importantly, a belief in the great possibility of life. The money you've spent on this collection will be put to good use, as 100% of my profits will benefit Oprah's Angel Network. I have been abundantly blessed and want to use the next 20 seasons of my life for what I know is my true calling—to be of service to women, children and families in need around the world. Thank you for watching all these years. I hope you enjoy reminiscing along with me. eBay Capsule: When Oprah Winfrey launched her Chicago-based television talk show in 1986, little did the American public know that the formerly impoverished Mississippi native would go on to become a hugely successful, one-woman entertainment industry with the power to shape the American cultural landscape. While early episodes of THE OPRAH WINFREY SHOW followed a Phil Donahue-style exploration of sensationalistic social issues, Oprah eventually transformed her series into a more positive, spiritually uplifting experience marked by book clubs, celebrity interviews, self-improvement segments, and philanthropic forays into world events. This collection celebrates THE OPRAH WINFREY SHOW's 20th anniversary with a selection of the series' most memorable moments. Oprah herself introduces the clips and shares her thoughts on favorite segments, guests, and surprises, including her famous weight-loss episode, her Christmas Kindness trip to South Africa, and the episode in which every audience member received a new car. The collection also includes never-before-seen footage from Oprah's early days, a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the show, and revealing interviews with John Travolta, Julia Roberts, Halle Berry, Michael J. Fox, Madonna, and the Judds. One hundred percent of the proceeds will be donated to Oprah's Angel Network, which works to improve the lives of women and children around the world.Read full review
This collection of show segments highlights Oprah 'so first 20 years. You will be moved, inspired, and yes in tears at some times. She gives voice to people's stories, some happy, some sad. To catch a glimpse into people's lives and wonder what would I have done in the same circumstance. A rate it a must see. Even if you don't like Oprah. You can still see the stories, and celebrities. She gives interviews with a better understanding or dignity than other talk shows. Probably why she lasted so long.

I bought this collection for my 13 year old granddaughter who lives in Amsterdam for Christmas. Well, since it wasn't new, I had to watch it to make sure it was in good condition. I think there were 6 DVD's so had to watch it over time. One made me cry. One made me think. One I fell asleep, but overall, I will not forget what I saw and I learned a thing or two. I am so glad my granddaughter want's this as I feel the morals and/or life lessons shown are ones anyone needs to learn. Sally
