Lola Falana

great show the hour just flew by. the george burns bit had some honest laugh out loud jokes, the sid caesar skit was ok but hey, its sid....gotta love it! a ronald reagan joke, original commercials, the mamas and the papas...just a really good show to sit back and watch. they honestly dont make tv like this anymore.

and wow...im amazed and how few and short the commercials were back then.

Bing Crosby, the original thin white duke, makes this show a 5 star affair.

Singing (Bing Crosby), comedy (George Burns), more singing-sort of (George Burns AND Bing), dancing (Some black woman and her big black men co-dancers, more singing (The Mamas & the Papas -yeah really - the Mamas and the Papas), Comedy Skit (Sid Caesar)

Just the thing for quiet family evening at home making home-made popcorn after helping the kids with their homework. The boy having put away his model kit for this evening's progress to dry as he lies in front of the tube/console propping his head up on his elbows; while little daughter having parked upon a pillow carefully arranges the folds in her dress to form a perfect circle around herself - both eagerly anticipating Bing's beautiful baritone. Papa puts down his paper as mama brings in the popcorn - and the show begins. At least that's the way we thought is was.... or shoulda been.
