DISC 1:
Show 1:
The first show, originally broadcast in September of 1950, has
Dean and Jerry alongside gorgeous Marilyn Maxwell ("The Lemon Drop

with Jerry playing a little kid who goes to the movies with grown-up
Dean.

mayors of Steubenville, Ohio - where Dino was born, and Newark, New
Jersey - birthplace of Jerry Lewis. Sketches include an hilarious bit
set in a gymnasium with Jerry getting the craziest workout ever, and
another with Martin and Lewis as a couple of tough hoods.
Show 3:
This is a show from November of 1950, with eccentric dancer and
comedian Leonard Barr. Also appearing is Sammy Petrillo ("Bela Lugosi
Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla"), who made a career out of imitating Jerry
Lewis! Sketches include Dean as a dance instructor and Jerry as his
hapless student, and another with Dean as a distracted babysitter and
Jerry as the baby! DISC 2:

Eddie Cantor, who also hosted some of the "Colgate Comedy Hours."
Sketches include a hospital bit with Dino as a doctor and Jerry as his
stubborn patient, as well as a fancy dinner party with Dean and Jerry
making an absolute mess of things. Show 5:
This episode, originally telecast in June of 1951, features cameo
appearances by another "Martin & Lewis" singer Tony Martin and
heavy-weight champ Joe Louis! Sketches include one set in a gentlemen's
club in which Jerry disturbs the peace of its members, and another with
Dean and Jerry as little kids playing - and fighting - on the stoop. Show 6:
Next is an episode from March of 1952 which features an appearance by
Danny Arnold, who was a comedy writer and part time actor who would
later create the popular "Barney Miller" TV Show in the '70s and Norman
Lear, who would go on to create "All in the Family". Sketches include

window-washer, and another with Dean as a baseball manager and Jerry as
a very near-sighted ballplayer. DISC 3:

immortal character actors: Benny Rubin ("The Jack Benny Show"), Frank

on each other, and another where they wreak havoc in a harem.
Show 8:
This second show, from October of 1953, guest stars the great Burt
Lancaster, in a rare comic performance alongside Dan and Jerry that

drama, "Come Back, Little Sheba".
Show 9:

great comic actors, Franklin Pangborn, who was a frequent foil of the

Sturges' repertory company. Sketches include another hilarious
