Vaudeville

Heavily promoted variety show that used Milton Berle and slapstick comedy in the coming attractions. A kid my age couldn't wait. Show was falsely advertised. Berle wasn't a regular. I think he appeared in one show. Wasn't much for comedy either. Bigger on Lawrence Welk style musical numbers. Yuck! Just a snooze fest that made me appreciate the generation gap more than ever before. Really bad stuff. I'm shocked it was milked for 13 episodes over 2 seasons. It don't think I could sit through a full one. I might have sampled a second that was worse than the first. Even my parents thought it was awful.
