The Red Skelton Hour In Color Deluxe edition DVD box set

Hello all,

I know there have been a couple threads about Red Skelton posted here. But, just wanted to mention that Time Life has recently released a 22 DVD box set of Red's TV shows. I just published a web article about the set. Here's the link: The Red Skelton Hour In Color: Deluxe Edition-DVD Review

I had NO IDEA so many great musical guests were on 'The Red Skelton Show'

 

Yes, as one of the threads here mentioned, the show had a lot of musical guests on it over the years. As I mentioned in the article, it would have been nice if more than one song from the artist/artists were featured from each show in the DVD set. Some performers in the episodes not featured in the DVD set (from Skelton broadcasts) include, Dusty Springfield, Johnny Rivers, Paul Revere and The Raiders, Dionne Warwick, and many more.

So, in other words, all of the shows are cut up?

 

James,

The shows are edited, but not that bad. As I mention in the article, the 60's shows (which were hour programs) for the most part run 40-45 minutes; the 1950's shows (which were half hour long) are approx. 26 minutes each; and the 1970's shows (also half hour) are also approx. 24 minutes. None of the shows have the original commercials in them.
