Product Description
The Great Olsen & Johnson Of "Hellzapoppin'" Fame In Their 1949 NBC TV Series FIREBALL FUN-FOR-ALL PLUS CBS's 1950 Phenomenal THE BEN BLUE SHOW PLUS Jay Ward's Pioneering 1963 TV Pilot THE NUT HOUSE! 2 Hours Of The Rarest Early Televisual Entertainment Packed Into 2 All Regions DVDs!
Contents:
FIREBALL FUN-FOR-ALL (1949, 59:37)
The closest we'll ever get to a live performance of the extraordinary Olsen & Johnson troupe. Raucous, wild, unpredictable, and at stretches, pure classic entertainment, it remains both way ahead of our time and a certain time piece of some of the earliest and best television ever.
THE BEN BLUE SHOW (1950, 28:35)
Another time capsule of this often overlooked font of American entertainment tradition, here mixing it up with the kind of entertainment format one saw fractionalized into everything from "The Ed Sullivan Show" to "The Ernie Kovacs Show", then finishing up with a preposterous situation worthy of the best of Jackie Gleason's "The Honeymooners".
THE NUT HOUSE (1963 B&W, 33:39)
Rowan and Martin, roll over! The Nut House has taken over! This attempt by Jay Ward and crew to capitalize on the success of Rocky & Bullwinkle & bring straight-up vaudeville humor to live action tv ultimately failed, but it's a magnificent failure, for one can see clearly foreshadowed Laugh-In, Monty Python's Flying Circus and more of the television of the future!
