Product Description

Born the son of a clown Red Skelton followed in his father's footsteps by making a living through telling jokes. This compilation pays tribute to vaudeville-trained funnyman by gathering many of his most memorable appearances. From 1951-1971 THE RED SKELTON SHOW showcased the zany comic stylings of its carrot-topped star whose talent for improv in the face of unexpected flubs lent the series much of its charm. AMERICA'S GREATEST CLOWN features several episodes of this legendary comic variety show in addition to many other clips of Skelton performing his best-loved characters such as: Clem Kadiddlehopper Cauliflower McPugg Deadeye Freddie the Freeloader and San Fernando Red among others.System Requirements:Running Time aprox: 255 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: MISCELLANEOUS/OTHER Rating: NR UPC: 787364630097

4.0 out of 5 stars Good night, and may gawd bless!, October 13, 2008
By Annie Van Auken (Planet Earth) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Red Skelton hosted a half-hour comedy series Sunday nights on NBC-TV from 1951 to '53. Red relocated to CBS for the fall '53 season. His Tuesday night program was extended to an hour in 1954, but returned to the 30-minute format in '55. The 1963 season saw The Red Skelton Show's permanent expansion to an hour. At the end of the '70-'71 season, Skelton's highly-popular program was dropped by the network, which wanted to court younger viewers. After one unsuccessful season on NBC, Red's TV variety series ended its 20 year run.

BCI's RED SKELTON: AMERICA'S GREATEST CLOWN contains transfers of vintage b&w television programming. Quality varies from quite good to only fair.


RED SKELTON AMERICA'S CLOWN PRINCE VOL. 2 is the only officially authorized Skelton product and features fine-quality transfers of Red's comedy highlights.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Comedy, September 14, 2009
I would advise you view the 2nd Disc first, it is hilarious! The quality of just ok, which was expected for an old classic like this, however the material is just great stuff.

3.0 out of 5 stars B&W, Simplier times., January 15, 2009
Great to see live performances from the 50's and 60's. Good clean comedy.
However makes me appreciate the show productions of " I Love Lucy" even more. There stage camera technology, multi-angle shoots, were state of the art back then. But in the right frame of mind red was one of the best. and his artwork will be around for generations.
