5.0 out of 5 stars Great set!!, February 3, 2005

This review is from: The Best of the Red Skelton Show (DVD)

I love this set of DVDs. There are about a dozen episodes that seem to have been realized on numerous collections, I myself have wound up with about three copies of each of these, but this set is all new and previously unavailable.

My only wish is that it was longer. Eight hours seems to pass in seconds when watching this collection.
