Variety shows featured Broadway revues, the latest radio stars and comedians that delivered skits with unique characters along with the laughs. Each show had a great theme song and the commercials were literally unforgettable. Television BC offers scenes from Red Skelton’s, Jack Benny’s, Carol Burnett’s, and others’ shows. Jackie Gleason, Lucy and Ethyl, Dinah Shore and Johnny Carson make “appearance.” Don’t miss this energetic, interactive afternoon with Jerry, Alison, Rick, Karen, and Ann.
