I always...I hated to read that about Red Skelton... I always thought he was a good and kind soul but that really taints my opinion of him. Somethings should best left out of the public's view. There really was NO point in him bringing that up. I am certain Shirley's sons had every reason to despise him....he was a loudmouth and obnoxious bore.Robert B.

A laugh-until-you-ache classic. Ingles and Astin were perfect in their roles. Astin was never as good again as he was in this show; he was a superb physical comic. The series should have lasted longer than one season; if it had it would certain rank as one of the greatest sitcoms.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16042368771115647117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2398796842887862508.post-89947112738584163282012-07-02T07:12:23.889-07:002012-07-02T07:12:23.889-07:00Another thing, it's so bizarre that the older ...Another thing, it's so bizarre that the older comics make such a point of working without profanity.

He's right, I'm Dickens, HE's Fenster (fenster = window, btw) was a really funny show. I didn't remember that John A. was HIS co-star. I'm glad Ms. Jones found a good guy after losing Jack C. in that fire so long ago.<br />The real reason for my comment is that people like Marty didn't show tha audience their angst or pain, they just gave people good CLEAN (totally with you and Cosby on that) fun. The humor transcended who you are, where you came from, whether you had a good day or a bad day - like Skelton, you tune in and see that familiar face and you're ready to smile too, and to laugh. Kind of like Stewart's George Baily character, you don't realize how many lives you touch in a positive way as an entertainer. It was great to "see" him again!
