Let me start off by saying , that i am of the "UNDER 60 " age group . I DID however remember seeing the Old Red Skelton TV show as a Kid . FOLKS.......this show by Tom Mullica , is a LAUGH RIOT from start to finish . It is a VERY fitting tribute to one of America's FINEST Comedians . One that has passed from this earth now. You will really believe that Red Skelton is performing LIVE right before your very eyes .

To me though , one doesn't REALLY even have to know ANYTHING about Red Skelton to enjoy this show's material . The Humor is NOT that hard to comprehend . And unless you have a heart made of stone, you will definitely be laughing thru this entire show. It is a breathe of fresh air really in Today's World of "so called " Comedy . Tom Mullica can easily pull gut wrenching laughs from the audience without even uttering a single word . This is what made the early comedians so special . There is NOTHING in this show that should offend anyone . It's PURE comedy . Both visually Physical as well as Spoken word .

All in all, one will be HARD pressed to find a show anything like this one in Branson .It's a true GEM . And one i will recommend to anyone that likes to laugh and feel great afterwards. To Quote the Great Red Skelton himself......This show is Smoooooooooooth !!!

Ok, I think there is one definite requirement for liking this show!

Being "Old" certainly helps. Unless you are old enough to remember Red Skelton I doubt if this show would be for you.

We enjoyed it and it brought back many memories. We even learned a few facts that we didn't know. For instance, did you know Johnny Carson was one of Red Skelton's writers for some of his skits? I didn't. Tom Mullica certainly does become Mr. Skelton and did the skits well.

I didn't know Lucy's famous Vitameatavegamin was taken with permission from one of Red Skelton's bits.

So if you are "old" enough to remember Red Skelton and want a trip down memory lane, this is an enjoyable morning show.
