Unfortunately time has not been kind to these old clips. Some of the routines are long and forced, with Red trying to elicit the laughs that never come by yelling louder. It goes to show that he really improved with time because these old gags were really weak. My girl and I are big Skelton fans, but this collection is worthy only in its historical value, not Red at his best.
