Movie Reviews
Poor quality.

"Red Skelton is funny, however the video quality is very poor as is the audio quality. Its not worth the money and is hard on the eyes. As I have read reviews of other DVD's done by Madacy Entertainment, poor video seems to be the norm. Buying DVD done by Madacy is a risky scheme."

Don't order this,

"This is not worth your money. I ordered this for my father as he is a big Red Skelton fan. I thought it would have skits of the old shows with the focus on the skits that "Red" was in. It is 5 DVDs of the Red Skelton Shows, and you have to watch the whole show, and there was very little skits of Red Skelton in it. I was very disappointed in this, and so was my father."

"Wonderful dvd. Terrific array of characters and skits and laughs. This is real comedy. Red Skelton was the greatest comic and we miss him dearly. Good night and God bless."
