George Gobel Show with Angela Lansbury 1954

This is a print of a 16mm kinescope I haven't had a chance to restore yet. But I thought everyone would enjoy seeing it because it starred Angela Lansbury.
With guitar in hand, George explains what goes into a good folk song, that they should include the words "Ireland" and "Mother." So he reduces his number to just a last line only, "She's that old Irish mother of mine!"
In the main skit, Angela Lansbury plays George's wife, and they discuss just what to do with their incorrigible (off screen) son after he left her tied and gagged in a kitchen chair.
They consider sending him to a strict military school, and George goes off to give him a talking to, but he also gets bound up.

The second episode of the series, originally telecast on October 9, 1954, under the sponsorship of Pet Milk {Armour & Company's Dial Soap was the alternate sponsor}. The commercials and sponsor I.D's were omitted from this kinescope.

He is so funny, with material no one else could get laughs with.

Thanks for sharing this!! Lonesome George Gobel was my dad's favorite comedian, but I think he's mostly forgotten now. George still seems funny to me, but the sketches and music are cheesier than I remembered.

This guy was damn funny. Those one liners are amazing, he obviously was a little nervous he put it into his act so well.

This is what used to be known as "deadpan" humor.

Was this first shown in color? It looks as if color cameras were used.
