Great family comedy!
...and the writers that show had,
“Among the writers who wrote for Caesar early in their careers were Mel Brooks, Neil Simon, Larry Gelbart, Carl Reiner, Michael Stewart, Mel Tolkin and Woody Allen. “

One of my sisters friends was a dancing cigarette girl doing live commercials for quite a few of the shows.
She didn't think much of Sid Caesar. According to her they use to do dress rehearsals in the nude.
Said Jackie Gleason was a sweet heart.

One year, a local station on UHF carried “Un- Conventional” programming- for those who didn’t want to watch the conventions that election year. Your Show of Shows was featured, and my parents introduced me to it. My favorites were “The Haircuts” and “The Clock”! What a treasure, and fun to see my parents crack up!
