Imagine watching this on your Philco 10” TV. How amazing.

The writing team was probably the best ever assembled, and Sid was just plain amazing. Howie Morris was the unsung hero who could play any role thrown at him. I never saw the show when it was on TV, although I was around in those days and just a kid who wouldn't have much appreciation of it. I'm so glad that we can see it now. Thanks VERY much for posting it. Now, I've got to see if you have more of them!

Without a doubt and it’s amazing that the apex of TV comedy was 70 years ago.

I agree. I look forward to seeing the replays on youtube. When I was a kid I didn't understand what was so funny about the skits. Now I laugh out loud. :-)

Thanks for maintaining the original aspect ratio.

Thank you for sharing. Time well spent.

Imogene Coca's Opera singer performance is unique, rare and hilarious. Though absolutely a comic performance, her physical and vocal ability to sing the piece is memorable and impressive.(@ 55:40)

Wow!! 90 minutes, LIVE, on Saturday, with a host(ess), a musical guest! Saturday Night Live was taking notes!!

But SNL didn’t come close.

Carl Reiner was only in his early thirties...

That Rambler Gambler song piece was amazing

This show was broadcast on February 5, 1954, according to Karen J. Harvey's book "Sid Caesar and Your Show of Shows."

They should have put this on that expensive Sid Caesar Works. So great seeing the show in territic resolution as a full episode

Looks like this was shot on film directly rather than a kinescope.

I was 4.probaly my parents watched it

omg this is so funny.

In the Saturday night CAR and RESTAURANT Sketch - who is the blonde lady? She looks like Margaret Truman but her nose is not right. ♥

The blonde lady is indeed Margaret Truman.
