The super bad audio and video makes this essentially unwatchable. Go else for laughs, this circus clown show is closed!

"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.
