THE FLIP WILSON SHOW -- Tony Randall, Lena Horne, and Bob & Ray

This Flip Wilson show aired as part of the 4th and final season in the spring of 1974, but it was taped in 1973 and clearly produced during the previous season because they still had the original stage set. It's easy to see why NBC delayed airing it for so long...

Some of the sketches with Tony Randall and singer Lena Horne are pathetic -- particularly the touch-tone phone bit at the beginning of the show.

Fortunately, the famous veteran comedy team of Bob Elliott and the late Ray Goulding (a.k.a. Bob & Ray) nail it with two of their clever routines that they originally did on the radio many years earlier.

This show is shorter than the other 5 from this DVD set because Lena's songs were edited out, most likely since SFM Entertainment couldn't get the music clearance rights.
