This time around, Sid and the gang have used the power of the Internet to find out the fans’ favorites sketches and included the top picks on this video.
You’ll see classic sketches from Your Show of Shows and Caesar’s Hour, as they were originally performed-LIVE, with no cue cards, and no teleprompters. Includes all new interviews with the writers and stars.”When we worked together,” reminisces Sid Caesar on this collection of vintage Your Show of Shows and Caesar’s Hour sketches, “it was magic, and you don’t question magic.” So just enjoy these mostly magnificent seven skits from the golden age of live television. “Auto Smash Up” and “Big Business” hold up best. Nanette Fabray, the Catherine O’Hara of her day, shines in “The Shadow Waltz.” Linking the sketches are interviews with Caesar’s dream team of performers and writers: Fabray, Carl Reiner, Howard Morris, Woody Allen, Neil Simon, and Larry Gelbart. DVD extras include Caesar’s commentary on “Auto Smash Up,” a mini-course in comedy writing, as well as a bonus sketch, “The Beauty Pageant.” –Donald Liebenson
