The Red Skelton Show Collection - Red Skelton - six 6 great episodes on 1 DVD - digitally re-mastered sound enhanced DVD - TV Classics - pop flix
Red Skelton Show Collection is a collection of six episodes of The Red Skelton Show—fortunately, they are six excellent episodes. They are:

Freddie’s Masterpiece: Freddie the Freeloader finds a painting by Leonardo Da Vinci, and Vincent Price plays the role of the art dealer who wants to acquire it at any cost.
Clem Strikes Oil: Clem Kadiddlehopper strikes oil on the family farm, and uses his new fortune to make a star out of his girlfriend, Daisy June (played by Carol Channing)
Deadeye and the Indians: Cauliflower McPugg is interviewed by Ed Sullivan; Deadeye is captured by the American Indians, and sentenced to be burned at the stake - “A warm stake is better than a cold chop.”
Laughter, The Universal Language: A very special Red Skelton Show, with Red performing pantomime at the United Nations (U.N.), proving that laughter is the universal language.
Freddie and the Spies: On the run from spies, Professor Munson (Richard Deacon, best known for his role of Mel Cooley on The Dick Van Dyke Show) entrusts a mysterious “little black box” to Freddie for safekeeping. Another tramp (hilariously portrayed by Edward Everett Horton) tries to find out what Freddie is hiding—as do the spies.
Clem the Artist: Clem Kadiddlehopper accidentally becomes a famous ‘modern’ artist by splashing colors on the back of a painting—and after having to decide between fame and his girlfriend Daisy June ("The toast of the town! That’d mean a lot to a crumb like me!") moves to the big city and starts painting not what he sees, but what he feels ... “And I haven’t been feeling too good lately!”
