Very rare is the genius who is admired & adored during his lifetime. Buster Keaton started off with a parabolic rise only to fade away. Many of his 'flops' are considered masterpieces today & his gags continue to inspire many new age physical comics. Even after 100 years,one can only applaud his creativity.

In the late 30s - 40s and definitely by the time the 50s rolled around comedy had regained it's bankable status and more respect in Hollywood. Buster made the transition better than most comedy acts from the silent era, but by the late 40s and around the time the 50s rolled around he was a lot older and had really retired, but he still made many TV appearances and film cameos all the way up to the year of his passing. He was very lucky to have been one of the few acts to live to see his films regain a popularity and he in turn got the respect he definitely deserved as "One of" the originators of slapstick comedy.

Well, certainly his silent films were works of legendary comedic art, and he's MY favorite! However, at this same time, Harold Lloyd had barely released any of his films for public viewing, and Chaplin made relatively few feature films in a 30-year span. So when TV came along, dear Buster had a renaissance of his career, and won the hearts of a new generation - and he damn well EARNED it, especially after being treated so horribly by MGM after his silent career was over.

That was an era where the mailman was your friend and could report abnormalities if seen while delivering the mail to your porch. Now they just fly by at the street and don't even speak to you!

Buster and Ernie were starting a series together for T.V. a comedy where Buster was to play an Indian, and they were all set to air the pilot. Ernie killed himself in a car wreck that day! It was cancelled. Buster didn't have the luck his talent deserved.

Reading your comment, I thought he committed suicide. You didn't word that correctly.

The wonderful wit would be lost on so many. If it were to be recovered today, What's My Line would be a series of bathroom and sexual humor gags.

Same here. The first time I saw the show would have been around 1961, when I was 10 years old. I couldn't understand John Daly, thought Dorothy was weird looking, and considered Bennett to be a goofy old man. So I saw only bits and pieces after that when my parents were watching it. Now, an essential part of my day is watching an episode or two. It's relaxing, hugely entertaining, and so sweetly nostalgic.
