THE RED SKELTON SHOW
In the Nielsen's "Top 20" for 15 years.

Musical groups were also featured on the series; the Rolling Stones made one of their first U.S. appearances in 1964. The Red Skelton Show ranked in the Neilsen ratings "Top 20" for a record 15 consecutive seasons, 1955-1970. Fine condition.
