Summary: Classic Television Comedy At It's Best.
Review: Lucille Ball may have paved the way and set the standard for sitcom television, but Red Skelton set the standard for sketch comedy. It must have been great working on television in those early days when things were live and not taped. Red Skelton was one of America's great comedians and the greatest American pantomimist. He came from an era of entertainment so different from our current pop culture. It's so refreshing to watch these shows and see how much better sketch comedy used to be (the current Saturday Night Live crew could learn a lot from watching Red). Red always kept the audience laughing and he didn't mind breaking the fourth wall to talk to the audience or break out of character to get the extra laugh. He was a treasure and this DVD is one great way to preserve his memory and our cultural heritage.

Review: The memories that this dvd recalled were both enjoyable and refreshing.The four episodes of the Red Skelton show reminded me of the times of my youth and even the commercials were fun to watch. You meet characters like Freddie the Freeloader, Klim Kadidilhopper and others in skits and jokes that are hilarious. The interface is simple and easy to navigate with a short bio that should have been more in depth. I was very pleased with this dvd.
