Whenever I need a laugh I put this in and sit back to watch a comic genius display his timing and quickness of mind. Red considered a script to be a general outline rather than a rigid box he was required to stay within. Watch closely and you'll see the light in his eyes as he leaps to take advantage of an opening, and see his co-stars and others react to his riffs on the matter at hand. Some of them are quick enough to play along, some can only laugh. In my book, when you can cause as great a comic as Harpo Marx to nearly lose control from laughter then you're doing something right.

Red ... funny as usual, I love to see bloopers made by stars, especially the funny ones. This DVD is no let down for Red Skelton lovers.

You can watch it over and over and always get a laugh.

Red Skelton is the best and I am glad my kids now enjoy him as much as I do.

For 10 bucks you get to see a comic genius at work.

When caught in a blunder - bad or good - Red was perhaps at his funniest! This is a masterpiece, and any Skelton fan would do well to own it! Ron Pataky knew Red well and up-close, and always claimed that Red was one of the most congenial (and hilariously ornery!!) fellows around. In several written pieces, Red established that he was an admirer of Ron's as well.

Along this line, Ron's new books, including "HELP! I'M BEING HELD A PRISONER IN A RANSOM NOTE FACTORY!" are now available by ordering online from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, etc. Another book is about to be released as well (11-06). Much like the first in the series, its title is: SECOND NOTICE! (If you ignored the desperate plea, "Help! I'm Being Held A Prisoner," etc., what better and more logical follow-up than "Second Notice"?).

Ron's silly humor site is >>> Custom-Ransom-Notes.com

I've listened to a few of red skeltons radio broadcast and they were good but they disc takes some of his non funny momemnts and throws them together it's the worst dvd ever!
