There are not many TV shows that are hilarious from beginning to end, but this episode indeed was. From the slapstick to the political humor to..."SHUT UP!" this was CRAZY funny from the first minute till the last! They could take lessons from this today as to how to produce real comedy.
A great episode from a great show! The actress playing the female Russian general does an excellent job. I love how she playfully gives Muldoon the final "pussycat" as a compliment, and he blushingly receives it.
It amazed me to see this episode simply because I thought I had seen all of them. Apparently I have still missed a few. What a super show, Can't make it through any of them without laughing!
I love that there are still the old commercials and "brought to you by" announcements! Brings me right back to when I was seven years old. I never saw this episode until now. General Raskolnikov was hilarious - and the role must have been fun to play. So sweet that she called Officer Muldoon "pussycat" (not scornful this time) and gave him a kiss.
James Gilbert’ - Francisco area started these vintage programs late night then into day about 45 years ago. It caught on like wildfire. Entire tv dedicated to them. Unparalleled art.
your a mess bang boom . SHUT UP! classic stuff it's wacky it's crazy Shut up 2240 is terrific she's putting it down doing her version of dancing. you go Comrade she can sing as well. funny when she says little Dutch boy she's great. go girl go
You're right. Muldoon was cracking me up! As I was laughing watching Gwynne do those expressions I was thinking of how real comedic talent is shown in a person who can make the simple really funny. Doing funny things is one thing, but it takes real talent to do things funny.
Ironically this era was called the “Golden Age of Capitalism.” This episode was from 1963 and the minimum wage at that time was $1.25 which would be $10.51 in 2019. The unions were really powerful and demanded good wages. Public spending was high specially in public works; it was around this time that America’s Interstate Highway System was being built.
Jules Munshin catches a baseball in the stands in his first game, and I've been going to ballgames since 1963 ... and no baseballs to show for it! Great to see Munshin here after his great work in MGM musicals. He even managed to stand out in "Easter Parade" as a waiter with top talent like Fred Astaire, Judy Garland, and Ann Miller in the same picture.
When a "waiter" can upstage that fine group of people, that's really something. Recently saw him in a Car 54 episode (1960s; on You Tube).. Something must have been in the air or the director wanted it that way, but everyone, including Jules, was overacting and this almost ruined the show. Jules played the Russian ambassador to the U.N. One great moment when he was a Yankee Stadium and caught a home run ball, but all the rest was deplorable..
I actually liked Jules in the episode you're referring to (hey! ... this episode right here). But I had quite a bit of trouble with the General (played by Mara Lynn). Munshin was such a delight that I excused him approaching "over the top." The Lynn character went way over it and was hard to take. The cold war humor I took as what you'd expect from that period and here is more humorous than elsewhere (Silk Stockings, the Broadway play and MGM musical, comes to mind).
Car 54 is one of my favorite past time television show. It's too bad they didn't have enough token Americans shown back in that Era on national TV. A sparkle to what law learning can do
I loved this show, so much so I still know the opening song. Certainly, I, remembered this episode. About 2 yrs ago they would show it on "Me" tv. Then, no more. Clean comedy, & really good & funny, no such thing today. YUCK.
This is the show on TV when I was 12, that opened up the door for me to Socialism and Communism. Thank you Car 54! Tilting your CIA script toward humor, kind of backfired on the Deep State, didn't it? lol! And thank you GLEEM and CAMAY for sponsoring!! Sweet.
A really funny Rocky and Bullwinkle is the Kirwood Derby, which is kind of a spoonerism on Durwood Kirby. He was the co-host of Candid Camera in the 1960s. I read he was upset when they made the Kirwood Derby episodes. ruclips.net/video/R-meJ8ZZbI4/видео.html
FRED GWENNE WAS HERMAN MUNSTER in THE MUNSTERS SHOW BACK in THE 1960s AND i HAVE series ONE AND TWO ON DVD AND SADLY FRED GWENNE Died AND HE WAS in CAR 54 WHERE ARE YOU...REST in PEACE FRED GWENNE YOU WERE A GREAT ACTOR in CAR 54 WHERE ARE YOU AND THE MUNSTERS 😔

These people knew where to look for comedy gold; they took the Soviet Union and made one of the funniest episodes of any series I've ever seen. The Marx Brothers...ha!ha!Ha!
Bronx patrols. But, they sure did a large area, Fordham rd, southern blvd, concourse,Tremont ave.... They were in a Bronx film studio. I, was told the NYC sanitation uses it. I, was a child when it 1st came out. A few yrs ago,in the basement we found tags from PAN-AM, TRANS-CARIBEAN, & ofcourse IDLEWILD airport. We still have em. Memories

They could take lessons from this today as to how to produce real comedy.
Amen to all of that, Comrade! Unfortunately they have no intention of returning to real comedy today. They don't WANT to. They'd rather DIE.
VERY underrated show
This episode is so relevant today.
I'm of the age where I watched these as new shows on TV...I always enjoyed watching Car 54...and Dobie Gillis..and My three sons etc etc...
I'm of that age too...but throw in Science Fiction Theater... :)
I cannot give this episode enough thumbs up. There aren't that many thumbs. BRILLIANT!!!!!
"You're a mess!" This coming from a guy who's going to be turned into the Frankenstein Monster in a couple of years.
A great episode from a great show! The actress playing the female Russian general does an excellent job. I love how she playfully gives Muldoon the final "pussycat" as a compliment, and he blushingly receives it.
@ 7:15 “He’ll try to brainwash you, but with you it will only take a light rinse” lol.
Unbelievablely funny. Incredible cast on Car 54
It amazed me to see this episode simply because I thought I had seen all of them. Apparently I have still missed a few. What a super show, Can't make it through any of them without laughing!
I was REALLY laughing at this one!
This has got to be one of the funniest TV shows of all time!

This is just brilliant comedy
😂😂😂
My mom told me about Car 54 Where Are You. Just started watching them on YT. Classic comedy!!
I believe CAR 54 is less famous but better than The Munsters!
Absolutely.
@@sdgakatbk I'm a big Munsters fan but these shows are far funnier.
Another fact. I thought was me as I only like the. I gave stuff. Perry Mason first episodes for example
Car 54 might have been the funniest TV show ever.
Equally great in my humble opinion.
This is a Timeless classic I never get tired of watching this show😃😃😃☝️
Me too!! I love them
Excellent satire! Imo, the funniest episode of all the Car 54's.
This and "Toody and Muldoon crack down" are classic episodes.
GOOD STUFF!!!!!!!!
"And you asked me if I know Marx? I never missed one of Groucho's pictures!"
Basically true.
Loved the show!!
A great series and this particular episode is one of the funniest ever seen on TV.
U got class.
Loved these as a kid,in the 60s, still do!
Mara Lynn was fantastic and beautiful.
+guglielmo64 Yeah she was. And very funny in this too!
your a mess bang boom . SHUT UP! classic stuff it's wacky it's crazy Shut up 2240 is terrific she's putting it down doing her version of dancing. you go Comrade she can sing as well. funny when she says little Dutch boy she's great. go girl go
never heard of her before, but i loved her in this part.
MrYfrank14 me too
I looked her up on IMDB. Her career wasn't that long
Great show
Genius. Everything. Everyone.
Toody and Muldoon they make such a happy couple 😆
Grateful to you for putting all these great episodes!! Thanks
Classic TV. We need more sitcoms like this instead of the garbage you see on TV today. Muldoon's facial expressions at the strip club were hysterical.
You're right. Muldoon was cracking me up! As I was laughing watching Gwynne do those expressions I was thinking of how real comedic talent is shown in a person who can make the simple really funny. Doing funny things is one thing, but it takes real talent to do things funny.
Haven't seen these since they were new...thanks so much for posting this priceless stuff!!!!
Excellent television series !
Excellent television series !
+Michael Friedman Yes it was! For me, it is one of a few of the funniest sitcoms ever.
Excellent show !
Perhaps the funniest of all the Car 54 episodes 😁
Plenty of argument there: Toody Undercover, The Pickpockets, What Happened to Thursday and Biggest Day of the Year may be funnier.

Thanks, Pippykins! My cousin and I watched this as little kids. Looks like all of your videos are of the highest quality.
America’s greatest weapons: baseball, hot dogs, strip tease and beauty parlors.
Best show ever!

Superb actor. Made On The Town a jewel, along with Betty Garrett!
Superb indeed. Stood out in a small part as a waiter in "Easter Parade," even with Fred Astaire, Judy Garland, and Ann Miller as co-stars.
When a "waiter" can upstage that fine group of people, that's really something. Recently saw him in a Car 54 episode (1960s; on You Tube)..

I agree 100% about Mara Lynn. Past a certain point, her stridency ruined the tempo and the feeling of the show. "That period" is also a good point.
Car 54 is one of my favorite past time television show. It's too bad they didn't have enough token Americans shown back in that Era on national TV. A sparkle to what law learning can do
Bases loaded and Mickey Mantle is coming up to bat. 🤣🤣🤣
Nat Hiken was the Larry David of his day. Pure genius!
Absolute classic!!!
wow she gave him a good punch just like lily does on the munsters
Big companies watched this episode in the past and drew inspiration
I loved this show, so much so I still know the opening song. Certainly, I, remembered this episode. About 2 yrs ago they would show it on "Me" tv. Then, no more. Clean comedy, & really good & funny, no such thing today. YUCK.
Yes ME TV started it all. James Gilbert San Francisco started it all YEARS ago. All others followed.

I love the old school commercials.
This bangs my giggle bone.
A great show one of the best at it's time .
And where's moose and squirrel?
ahh, Bullwinkle and Rocky meets Boris and Natasha.
A really funny Rocky and Bullwinkle is the Kirwood Derby, which is kind of a spoonerism on Durwood Kirby. He was the co-host of Candid Camera in the 1960s. I read he was upset when they made the Kirwood Derby episodes. ruclips.net/video/R-meJ8ZZbI4/видео.html

The time when airlines were switching to jets. We lived near LaGuardia Airport from 1961 to 1964. Mad Men era.
1:52 the "Russian" was really Fred Silverman (ABC-TV)(!).
War Emblem Are you sure ? More like Jules Munshin.
They're playing the Red Sox LOL!
As a Red Sox fan I thought that was super funny
I didn't know 'Barney" from Mission Impossible was a Saudi.
Brilliant.
That was Roger Maris,not Mickey Mantle hitting that homer.
I REMEMBER THIS SAME SCRIPT FROM THE MUNSTETS.
Sadly, today many middle Americans will rent for of their lives. Back then a house was given away for a song
Los Angeles now fits the description..
i didnt know they allowed you say "stripper" on tv ,back then.
They had a lot of comedy shows where they used something to do with strippers in the plot back then. I was a child in the 60s.
They're patrolling sector six in Brooklyn...

And what was that ending about? Is that really a Russian spy or not?
Actually Karl Marx was a distance relative of the Marx Brothers.
Legendary stuff here. Not like this degenerate stuff of today.
Greg Morris at 2:01
Dang, was this right in the middle of the Berlin Airlift?
No. The Berlin Airlift lasted from mid 1948 to mid 1949. This program was on from Fall 1961 to Spring 1963.

As far as comedy was concerned it is all downhill after Friends Seinfeld etc.
America what the hell happened.
