Jim Nabors had a variety series that included some memorable material. How about Ken Berry also?

A must for me would be the Bob Hope specials.

How about some short lived ones like Captain and Tenille or Saturday Night Live with Howard Cosell.

As for hit shows I wouldn't mind seeing Ed Sullivan, The Johnny Cash Show and the Jimmy Dean Show.

Oh yeah....I forgot all the ones that just followed me LOL! I guess I have to agree this IS a great idea! There were sooo many shows like that back in the day, and not really a bad one in the bunch!

I don't think a Variety Show Network would last long because we would all get bored with it-lol


I think TV land should create a "Variety Show Day like Sunday.

I would love to see classic variety shows like The Jackie Gleason Show, The Red Skelton Show, Donny and Marie Show, and The Dean Martin Show return to television. These shows were incredibly popular in their day and featured some of the biggest names in entertainment. They were a great way for families to come together and enjoy a night of laughter and music. I know this is an old discussion but the topic is very important I am appealing to the admin. Please approve my post, Thanks
