Review

 

Before there was Leno, or even Carson, television comedy began with Sid Caesar. Called comedic "royalty", Sid's Emmy-winning Your Show of Shows and Caesar's Hour invented a hipper style of TV comedy that influenced everything up to and including Saturday Night Live. Turn back the clock and join Sid for eight of his most memorable and remarkable sketches plus intros from one of the most impressive comedy-writer lineups television has ever known (including Mel Brooks and Woody Allen). Return to the golden age of comedy that shaped a half century of laughter with The Best Of Sid Caesar.

Featuring: The Commuters in "7 Dwarves Bet," the Professor in "Boardrooms of Hollywood," Five Dollar Date, Sid Plays Sax with Benny Goodman, The Clock, A Fella Needs a Girl, The Haircuts in "So Rare" and "Flippin'," This Is Your Story.
