Critic Reviews for Dorf Goes Fishing / Tim & Harvey in the Great Outdoors Audience Reviews for Dorf Goes Fishing / Tim & Harvey in the Great Outdoors I used to love Tim Conway and Harvey Korman. According to Wikipedia, Dorf Goes Fishing is just one of EIGHT straight-to-video Dorf specials. Yep, eight, including no less than two that revolve around golfing. There are also Dorf special about auto racing, baseball and the Olympics, if you’re so inclined, and if you are well, here’s a relevant article you might want to take to heart. VERY much to heart, actually.
Dorf brings his wife, Mrs. Dorf, fishing!
Syl4 November 2018
Tim Conway's Dorf is back as an avid fisherman. Yvonne Wilder is perfectly cast as his wife, Mrs. Dorf. When Dorf's best friend can't make it fishing, he brought his wife along and she does very well for a first timer. Dorf's usual episode is centered around fishing for a change. He explained the history of fishing in the world as a caveman. It's an okay episode. I enjoyed watching him with his wife and would have liked to have seen more of her in the episodes.

As far as Dorf goes, 'Goes Fishing' is on the lower end of the series of tapes.
Maybe the idea of Dorf is still funny, but in goes fishing, the skits which make up the short, just don't add up to 45 minutes of fun (more like maybe 4.5). Sure, seeing Dorf as a caveman and fake fish flapping around or even modern day Dorf fishing erroneously with modern technology seems like fun, but something is lost in translation. The best bit it the Tv show commercial aspect of Dorf, but the ..IP progra is only a short bit and leads (or lends) to only a sporatically funny Dorf Even for cabin viewing, where fishing is primarilly king, this lite entertainment doesn't add up to much.

Dorf Goes Fishing is a 1993 comedy film in the Dorf series, starring Tim Conway, Ronnie Schell and Yvonne Wilder.
Plot[edit]Grunt the Caveman[edit]
Dorf begins the video by introducing us to 'Grunt', a caveman who looks peculiarly similar to Dorf (and is also played by Tim Conway). Grunt is credited as the caveman that 'discovers' fishing and yelling. He is not too intelligent, but he knows that 'food can be gotten from the water. The question was how to get that food out of the water and into your mouth.' After many attempts, a vine works.
Fishing Gear[edit]
Dorf demonstrates modern clothes and equipment of fishing, albeit not properly.
Dorf and His Wife - Segment One[edit]
Dorf's friend Billy Bob couldn't make it to fish, so Dorf convinces his amateur wife to join him. Despite inappropriate clothing and nearly useless gear, she catches more fish than her husband.
The D.I.P. Shopping Network[edit]Tim Conway Dorf Goes Fishing
The video shifts gears and turns to the 'Discount In Price' shopping channel, or 'DIP' for short. All of their products have the name 'DIP' in them. Dorf demonstrates the items, often with their negative side effects included. The number to order them from is 1-(555) DIP-FISH.
Dorf and His Wife - Segment Two[edit]![]()
Dorf and his wife continue to fish; at this point, she has over 30 fish, while Dorf has none. Dorf is, however, determined to catch a fish, and determines that her simple pole is superior to his own. However, after they trade, his wife catches yet another impressive fish, while Dorf's bacon has been stolen away.
Cat Goes Fishing DownloadCooking with Carly[edit]
Dorf has prepared his campsite for his favorite cooking show, 'Cooking with Carly'. Carly (also played by Tim Conway) is a ditzy chef who appears to have drunken a bit too much 'Sauce'. The recipe is for 'Taters, Fish, and Biscuits'.
Dorf and His Wife - Segment Three[edit]
Dorf is sitting alone in his boat. His wife tells him to come back to shore; she had caught 63 fish, and Dorf has yet to catch one. The wife drives away without him, as he sits alone in the boat. The credits roll by as he calls for help from others and insults his wife.
