Review of The Colgate Comedy Hour

When the Martin & Lewis episodes were available my mom bought as many as she could. (I'm 61 so I wasn't born yet.) I think they were the funniest comedy pair in my lifetime (I was born eventually.) Some people don't like Lewis & that's too bad. These are the years they were at their best. The skits are mostly always funny, but the bloopers and ad-libs are the best. They are on the same page even when they screw up. They also get away with insulting each other (for instance, Lewis stands behind Martin & mimics Martin's nose job.) My father told me that when their episodes were showing the streets were pretty empty because everyone was watching the show.
