2 out of 5 stars No Closed-Caption?.......2005-06-16

I was very disappointed to see that this DVD was not closed-captioned. Your Product Details stated that this DVD was closed-captioned and it was not. Being deaf this is very important to me.

5 out of 5 stars The King Of Laughter?.......2005-05-25

It's True Red Skelton is "The King Of Laughter." He is one of the most funniest man on this earth. His character's are so histaricall. I Love Freddie The Freeloader, Cauliflower McPugg & Deadeye. This is a good set.

5 out of 5 stars Great set!!.......2005-02-04

I love this set of DVDs. There are about a dozen episodes that seem to have been realized on numerous collections, I myself have wound up with about three copies of each of these, but this set is all new and previously unavailable.

My only wish is that it was longer. Eight hours seems to pass in seconds when watching this collection.
