mark bale Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 According to Wikipedia, Buster Keaton guest starred in a LUCY SHOW in 1965, we all know he didn't do this, but they did work together that year in the TV special A TRIBUTE TO STAN LAUREL. I wondered if anyone knows if this special (or this particular footage) still survives - could it be added to a future season set ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brock Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 I wondered if anyone knows if this special (or this particular footage) still survives - could it be added to a future season set ???? Bits and pieces of A Tribute To Stan Laurel have cropped up on YouTube over the years, so the full special is out there somewhere. To the best of my recollection, Lucy's segment has never surfaced online. Here is one bit currently on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJTXijTlnJ4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryCarter Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Excerpts of Lucy and Buster's pantomime sketch appeared on those unauthorized "Lucy: A Tribute"/"Funny World of Lucy" tapes and DVDs that were released in the 1990s that featured Lucy footage in the public domain.

mark bale Posted December 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 I have the FUNNY WORLD OF LUCY DVD but can't recall anything from her sketch (I will try and watch the DVD again soon). Was it a CBS special?? If so, maybe someone could tell Paramount so they could try and get it as an extra for a future Lucy show set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not remembr which DVD it was on. The show was a CBS special, but I do not know if it was actually produced by CBS. I would think it was since nearly all the people who appeared were CBS stars.

mark bale Posted December 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Thanks Harry. Seems there is a fairly good chance that it could be used as a possible extra in the future. anyone here with any "contacts" with those involved in the Lucy Show DVDs ?? Pass the idea on....

Lucyilove Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 According to Wikipedia, Buster Keaton guest starred in a LUCY SHOW in 1965, we all know he didn't do this, but they did work together that year in the TV special A TRIBUTE TO STAN LAUREL. I wondered if anyone knows if this special (or this particular footage) still survives - could it be added to a future season set ???? There was a photo of Lucy and Buster from the skit published in The New York Times 5-7 years ago accompanying an article on Keaton in television, I think the Stan Laurel tribute may have been screened at in NYC around that time somewhere.

Lucyilove Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 I found the clipping I mentioned, it was actually fifteen years old; the Museum of Television and Radio had a series "The Return of the Man in the Porkpie Hat: Buster Keaton on Television" which ran from October to December 1996. The article does not list the full collection of television programs screened but Lucy and Keaton are shown from the Stan Laurel special in the lone photograph so presumably at least this skit was shown if not the whole program (and chances seem good the whole thing exists if this skit survived intact).

mark bale Posted November 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 The clip of Lucy and Buster is very good (never seen it before). Did this originally go out in color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
