Celebrating the TV career of a comedy legend...
“The Red Skelton Hour in Color: Deluxe Collection” contains 130 episodes of the show that ran for 20 seasons on TV. Skelton’s career began in the vaudeville era, eventually leading to bookings at New York City Loew’s State Theatre. He made his big screen debut in 1938 in “Having Wonderful Time,” and then signed a contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, making several films throughout the 1940s, including “Panama Hattie,” “Ship Ahoy,” “DuBarry Was a Lady,” and “Bathing Beauty,” co-starring with Ann Sothern, Eleanor Powell, Lucille Ball, and Esther Williams. He also appeared extensively on radio, premiering his own show “The Raleigh Cigarette Program,” in October, 1941.<br /><br />His TV show premiered on September 30, 1951 with Red playing several characters, including country bumpkin Clem Kadiddlehopper, Sheriff Deadeye and lovable hobo Freddie the Freeloader. His guest stars included John Wayne, Jackie Gleason, Johnny Carson, Jerry Lee Lewis, Milton Berle, Jackie Cooper, Tiom Conway, Boris Karloff, Vincent Price, Simon and Garfunkel, Phyllis Diller, Merv Griffin, Audrey Meadows, Mickey Rooney, Nipsey Russell, and Robert Goulet.<br /><br />This 22-disc DVD set contains “The Red Skelton Show: The Early Years” (8 discs), featuring 72 episodes from the beginning of Red’s two-decade television career; “The Red Skelton Hour In Color” (10 discs), containing 31 rarely seen episodes in their original color and featuring Red’s recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance, and musical performances by Frankie Valli and The 5th Dimension; “The Complete 20th Season In Color” (3 discs), the final season featuring Red’s classic characters and guest stars Jerry Lewis, Robert Wagner and Jill St. John.; and the bonus DVD, “Red Skelton: The Farewell Specials” (1 disc), containing 4 specials, including “A Royal Command Performance,” in which Red has fun with Britain’s Royal Family at London’s Albert Hall.<br /><br />Red Skelton liked to refer to himself as a clown rather than a comic. His humor relied largely on pathos — being funny while having the audience empathize with his characters. Groucho Marx once referred to Red as “the most unacclaimed clown in show business.” The shows in this set illustrate his love of entertaining and give viewers a look back at the heyday of weekly television variety shows. For Red Skelton fans, this set is a “must have.”
