@@nancycalhoun3702 can see stuff like this at the local level pretty much everywhere. All it takes is removing control of the industry from the 6 families that hold it all today. Easily done by simply abandoning them for a few years. It's already begun. You being a pessimist is a you problem though.
Re runs would be just as fine Sick of emergency, adam12, old cops shows still too many cop shows today too violent, gruesome gross. Want happy things Bring back Chuck & Pushing daisies But prefer this & others of the his day & age
I don't remember missing very many episodes of Red Skelton. He had everybody on his show, from Charles Bronson to John Wayne. The man was comedic genius.
I also saw him once many years ago. It was at the Canadian National Exhibition Grandstand show. All the big entertainers appeared there. I also saw Bob Hope, Bill Cosby and the Beachboys, at different times of course. I also watched a concert for Canadian athletes going to the 1980 Olympics in Moscow. That show included Gordon Lightfoot, Harry Chapin, Liona Boyd and others. There was real entertainment back then. BTW, when I was a kid, I watched the Three Stooges in the matinee there.
40 YEARS AGO.....Had the HONOR of meeting RED. Here is what HE TAUGHT ME......WRITE DOWN: GOOD. "X" OUT ONE "O": WHAT YA GOT LEFT??? GOD!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤ WAS A FANTASTIC MAN!!!❤❤❤❤
From clubs, to movies then years on TV.. Red was proud of the fact that he never once used profanity to share his comedy with, we, his fans. Red definitely was one of the very kindest and most gentle people on this earth.
Okay, I love Red. But let's not make him too saintly. I read a biography about him. His wife had been cheating on him. I forget her name. Let's say Kathy. He was with his wife and Humphrey Bogart. A woman walked by and Bogie said "She's known to be the best c*%&sucker in town." Red patted his wife on the head and said "Oh now don't say that. You'll make Kathy jealous."
On two occasions he used profanity in the 50’s Clem Kadiddelhopper Delayed Mike , the tv show went off the air while we in Oregon were at the dinner table!
I don't see any evidence that what you say is true Lonnie Stevens. Can you show me some proof. One of the biggest harms of the internet is people posting false information and people taking it as true just because it's on the internet. Research and critical thinking go a long way to getting to truth. Otherwise you end up with around 40% of the US population believing Trumps thousands of lies.
I first saw Red on TV in 1962. He is the funniest comedian I have ever seen. Nothing but pure clean humor. I loved the way he would get tickled at himself and make me laugh at his laughter. Red Skelton, Tim Conway and Carol Burnett - my all time favorites
Red Skelton RIP, you were the one and only funniest man of all time ever. I have a few of Red Skelton show in his honor. You were my idol and still you are my idol. You touched the 💓 of millions of people.
This was my 2nd best show First came" Gunsmoke " then " Red Skelton ", later on I also watched regularly " The Guns of Will Sonnet " I miss that Family time in front of the TV with Mom and Dad.
Miss this comedy in this year 2023. With the present chaos we have going on right now this takes me back to my childhood days of the 60s and 70s when life was simpler, TV was still decent and giants of comedy like Red Skelton still made us laugh 😂. Rest in peace Red and God bless your soul!!
loved Red and Walter.. they were such great entertainers... miss them bunches..I was just a child when they were on..enjoyed Walter as a great Character actor...
Je ne savais pas que Walter Brennan était un comique !!! Cela ne m:etonne guère !!!! Je l'adore !!! Mais il n:est plus de ce monde ! Il doit faire rire les anges à présent ! Paix à son âme ! 😅❤️❤️
Loved the humor and Walter Brennan was great. Loved how he could talk so hillbilly and Ken Curtis was another who played Festus on Gun Smoke who portrayal was spot on.
I think one of my all time favorites about Red was how he just look sat the audience and makes side comments about the scene. I still laugh my butt off at this stuff no matter how many times I have seen the same thing over and over. His mime routines are classic too!
Walter Breenan is an Acadamy award winner and one of Hollywood's best character actors before turning to tv where I found him in the Real McCoys..loved in in Red River, To Have and Have Not , Rio Bravo etc
Just think.....This is comedy at it's finest. And to imagine, there are no four letter words, insults or other demeaning behavior. Yet we all laughed because it was funny. These gentlemen are truly from the Golden era of comedy and television
We only had one TV, everybody gathered around on Sunday night (after watching Lawrence Welk) to watch Red Skeleton. As a kid I didn’t really care for Lawrence Welk, but we watched what Daddy watched & didn’t complain!
"I had a good one but the censors come running downstairs..." God I love Red. Ever since I got the dvd collection when I was little... I live near Branson, MO where there's a guy named Tom Mullica that does a tribute show to him that he got permission for from Red before he died except Red made him promise not to swear and to stop drinking and smoking in order to do it. I went and saw him when I was like 9 or 10 and I was laughing so hard that I won his "best laugher" award.
I had met Red Skelton when he was taking his mother to MD Anderson for cancer treatment there in Houston, TX. Talk about a very sweet person who always took time to visit those who stop him in the hallways during the many times he was there with his mother. Of all things, I had him signed an MD Anderson Breast Cancer Awareness pamphlet which was the only thing available to write on at that time.
I wonder how many people these days even know who Red Skelton and Walter Brennen are? I can remember when my sister and I were very little and we weren't allowed to stay up to see Red Skelton's show. We'd hear it advertised or people talking about it and we thought it was a horror show about a red skeleton. There was some great comedy back then. I loved this video. Thanks for posting.
I do remember watching this back in the '50's & '60's .. they used to have a lot of great comedy hours back in those days & the days of great entertainment on TV...
LOL a red skeleton! Remember when that was in the Three Stooges? A skeleton ghost introduced himself as Red Skeleton. I met Red Skeleton one time when he was very old. I was walking across the lobby of the Quaker Square Hilton in Akron OH and I saw this familiar, tall, old man, accompanied by a younger (not young, maybe 50) blonde woman. I walked over and stuck my hand out and his hand completely enclosed mine. I told him I love his work and appreciated that it was clean, not vulgar. He thanked me and we moved on. He was in town for one of those "An Evening with Red Skeleton" shows. I would have gone but it was the night before.
@@pamczech5984 because they're not intelligent enough. Today's bunch can only use vulgarity and sex laced jokes and call it funny. Red opened his Vegas shows to everyone, kids included.
I don't know why I never thought of this joke before: Where do horses go when they get sick? A horsepital I thought of it when he said "horsepital" in this video clip
A number of years ago I got to see him live at the Fox theater in Detroit. He was funny beyond words. I watched him sit at a makeup table and transforme from Red Skelton to Freddie the Freeloader right before my eyes he just changed. And the Great Lucille Ball was a close friend and so to say, student of Red Skelton
Walter Brennan was just as fine a man as Skelton. Strong conservatives both of them. You can find photos of them at Repub political events. Brennan’s Christmas records were the BEST when we were growing up!
Red is one of my favorites. We'd imitate him and our daddy would get on to us. We'd say, "Red Skelton does it." He'd answer, "When you are paid as much as he is for acting like that you can do it."
