Name the TV program
Here are some of the characters; Clem Kadiddlehopper, Bolivar Shagnasty, Deadeye; and of course the famous closing for every program "Good night and God bless".

I love opportunities to slide Mr. Skelton's recitation of the "Pledge of Allegiance".
This should be mandatory viewing for all school-aged kids (and adults for that matter).

Red Skelton, you didn't even think of changing channels when that was on. My dad would kill you. Great show, probably wouldn't be make it on T.V. these days. To many references to God and America and never a cuss word.

I remember the Red Skelton show. It was great to see him do skits and make the other actors just lose it to the point that they could not finish their lines.

My Mother in Law knew Red when they were kids down in South Indiana.
There is a Red Skelton Bridge over the Wabash at Vincennes.

The Red Skelton show had some great humor and I always watched it.
The Honeymooners, Gleason always will be number 1 with me.

I don't know if this is true. I heard it on the radio.
Red was doing a live performance on a variety show. He was due to perform next to closing. Helen Reddy was also there and she was having a hissy fit because she also wanted the next to closing spot. Red finally relinquished the spot to Reddy. Then he went out on stage and performed his Pledge of Allegience as shown above. He got a 5 minute standing ovation. On his way off stage he passed Helen Reddy and said OK Ms. Reddy, Follow THAT. I really hope that the story is true!

Ernie Kovacs--thirty years ahead of his time, and taken from us far too young in an automobile accident.
I detested Berle, and wasn't a big fan of Gleason. I liked Skelton and Danny Kaye, but Jack Benny and Kovacs were tops with me. Of course, Benny had the incomparable Mel Blanc and the wonderfully weird Frank Nelson working with him.
I wasn't terribly fond of Hope's humor; but he could do no wrong in my eyes for his decades tirelessly entertaining of our armed forces personnel.

Thanks. I loved Red.

On the other hand I have read that the rehearsals for Red Skelton's show were known for their blue humor.

I Loved the Red Skelton show! I wouldn't miss it for the world. I liked it more than Gleason an Berle.
I agree the Pledge of Allegiance should be watched by every person in this country, including members of the Senate , HOR and the President.

I had tickets to his show when he was in MI. Forget why but he cancelled a couple days before. I was pretty disapointed for sure.

Sorry about that, chief.
Missed me by THAT much.
Would you believe?
How about this one:
Tonight we're going to have a really big shoe.
Let's hear it for the Russian Dancing Bears
Tonight, on our stage tonight, we have.....The Beatles!
Or this one:
Guess the secret woid and you'll win an extra fifty dollahs.
Come down here, boid.
Or:
He's dead, Jim
Fascinating
Scotty, we need more power!
Or even:
Stifle Edith
Hey, Meathead
Oh, Aaaah-chie
Who remembers this one:
You are number 6
Be seeing you
What do you want? Information. Who's side are you on? That would be telling.
Or this:
You know, there's this one thing that bothers me
My wife always calls about some errand at the grocery store.
There are a couple of loose ends I'd like to tie up. Nothing important you understand.
This was a summer replacement....
Hey Grandpa. What's for supper?
Sal-lute!
o/' Where, where are you tonight? o/'

I'm not surprised people don't remember "The Prisoner". Patrick McGoohan was a secret agent who, on his resignation, is taken to an island and subjected to brainwashing. It was surrealistic and obtuse with conversations sometimes nothing but non sequitur. At the end of the intro after being questioned he states, "I am not a number. I am a free man."
PS Something that some may remember about 'The Prisoner'. Whenever he would try to escape from the island they sent these giant pink bubble gum balls to catch him and bring him back. The image of him being smothered by one was kind of disturbing.
This was a fun trip down memory lane. We'll have to do more.
I think the 'worst' thing I ever heard Red Skelton say was to a lady looking for her purse and was told, "You'll have to go to Helen Hunt for it."
