1.0 out of 5 stars Don't order this,, July 5, 2007

By	P. Bienias (Wetumpka, AL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is not worth your money. I ordered this for my father as he is a big Red Skelton fan. I thought it would have skits of the old shows with the focus on the skits that "Red" was in. It is 5 DVDs of the Red Skelton Shows, and you have to watch the whole show, and there was very little skits of Red Skelton in it. I was very disappointed in this, and so was my father.
