Red Skelton was one comedic genius. Love watching him in the 60's and early 70's.

Premiere starts in 20 minutes. Have not even watched it yet, but better get my thumbs up in now, because I know it’s gonna be that good!!! To my fellow fans who will be here to watch it with me, “may God bless”. 😁

What a treat this is to hear a Lettermen song that I had NEVER heard before! Magic pure and simple!

I'm loving the fashions of the late 60s-1970.. Can't wait to watch this!

Sadly, just two days after this episode aired, CBS announced that it was cancelling Red’s show at the end of the 69-70 season…part of what would become known as “The Rural Purge”

Pretty good for late-period Skelton. Thanks a lot.

[@chrishansen9357]

Red was slow picking up his cue, so Barbara said the punch line, too.

[@michaelmcgee8543]

This would be the last year that red skeleton would be on C.B.S. In 17 he be on n.b.c.

Anybody remember S&H green stamps?

What you're really asking is who is at least 50?!!
