LittleRickyII Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Somewhere along the line, I did see this and can't say I was impressed. Don't remember much about it, so am looking forward to a report. However, I believe it was a special because Berle did not have a series at that point. Correct. Milton Berle's series had ended four years earlier. This special aired as part of an anthology series called Sunday Showcase. This is one of only three segments of the Sunday Showcase series that featured Berle. The three segments were "The Milton Berle Show," which aired on October 25, 1959 and featured Danny Thomas, Peter Lawford and Lana Turner; "A Tribute to Eleanor Roosevelt on Her Diamond Jubilee," which aired October 11, 1959 (Berle was one of numerous celebrities in the cast); and this one, called "The Milton Berle Special," which aired November 1, 1959, a little over a month following "Milton Berle Hides Out at the Ricardos." http://ctva.biz/US/Anthology/SundayShowcase.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleRickyII Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 and Flip Wilson! And the premiere of Steve Lawrence's 1965 variety show, and the premiere of Milton Berle's 1966-67 show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C L A U D E Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 So many things that Lucy and Milton did together, both being referred to as Mr and Miss television, should be great extras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucille Ball fan Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 From Barnes And Noble.com the special features are- The Lucy Show- Lucy Meets The Berles The Buick-Berle Show featuring Steve Allen and Milton Berle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C L A U D E Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Probably one of the best Lucy shows that were ever done. I could watch it on a loop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucille Ball fan Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 At the end where Lucy puts the salad bowl on Berle's head, now that is funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted February 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 I just got home from work and am taking the DVD for a spin as we speak. The picture quality isn't perfect but it is much better than I expected and is highly watchable. Will post some screen grabs later. Interestingly enough, the DVD producers have claimed copyright and a date of 2013 at the start of the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C L A U D E Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Reply to Lucille Ball fan . . . . And it's also the only time I remember Lucy allowing an ad lib when Milton says, LISTEN TO YOU, I CAN'T EVEN SEE YOU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvsbway Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Yeah Fidelman wasn't too kind to her in this one. She looks fine in the top 2 but I think it might be the face she is making in the dress that makes her face look heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C L A U D E Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Well, they're both wearing clothes for comedic effect, so I was commenting on that, I loved the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowpeck Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Is something screwy with my computer or am I only seeing file names instead of the screen grabs themselves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
