Average Rating: 
Rating: - Outstanding set of vintage TV comedy/variety programming
THE GOLDEN AGE OF COMEDY features nearly seven hours of TV comedy/variety shows from the TIME/LIFE video vaults. The majority of this material is not in wide circulation currently. Highlights include examples of Bob Hope and Red Skelton, plus a post-"Your Show of Shows" Sid Caesar and a program Milton Berle hosted after "Texaco Star Theater." There's also stand-up segments by some very famous comedians.
Besides the stars of "I Love Lucy," guests on "The Bob Hope Chevy Show" include Jimmy Cagney and World Series perfect game pitcher Don Larsen of the NY Yankees. Red Skelton shares his "Silent Spot" with Harpo Marx, and Jack Benny puts in an appearance. Abbott & Costello's turn on "The Colgate Comedy Hour" features Lon Chaney Jr. Bud and Lou also reprise their famous "Who's on First" routine and Lou sings.
