I am hooked ❤all the shows. Groucho is hilarious 😂

[@bobbyventers8726]

That elderly couple killed me. She’s a sweetheart and hope she found someone to cook for. Love watching these old episodes

[@kathleenbaker6678]

Groucho is so sweet wish I could have met him

[@sixofone1307]

Good show. The old guy met his match and more with Groucho and he knew it. I don't think anybody has ever been quite as fast-thinking and witty as Groucho. No one before or since like him.

[@kevinjudy7218]

six of one. I agree completely!!

[@jeanpeters100]

And i don"t think there will ever be one to match Groucho.

@@Groucho-tg1tx unfortunately, rickles was pretty repetitive, as for groucho, he just got funnier and funnier with consistent new funny lines

What a hilarious show!

My mother had those ventilator curlers in the bathroom and laying around the house. They were pink. I remember them during this commercial.

I LOVE WATCHING ALL THESE! Thanks for uploading them. 🙏🏽

Can I still buy the DeSoto $2732.35

[@m42037]

@@mcctravel Google, there's fully restored turn key DeSoto's for sale. In my experience stay away from the classic car dealers, try getting one from private owner's plus looking in Hemmings Motor News, 1000s of classic cars. A 57 Desoto should set you back mint for about 30k, that's about what a new Chevy is..

@@m42037 - Thanks! My search begins…

[@m42037]

@@mcctravel Just don't drive it in salt if you're in the salt belt states. I had a vintage car for almost 20 years it was a lot of fun and met a lot of friends at car shows, cruise ins and the drag strip, (I had a 66 400 hp Galaxie 500 XL) it's a lot of fun and my car never broke down on me

Love Groucho and Bettina was great too! Manny lovely and sharp!

[@johnhetherington8830]

what a great episode

[@poetcomic1]

Sixty years later and I can almost smell those pizzas.

[@williamthompson1964]

I know, with her italian accent and with her obvious confidence in her pizza, it has to be one of the best! I can't even hear an italian name without it making me hungry (lol) I love great food, and the italians are absolute geniuses at it!

[@cmr053]

Love Benita! She is so funny and a real sweetheart.

[@robertklose2140]

"Betina"

[@mcctravel]

Bettina .~. The Best!!!

[@SuperWinterborn]

Ouch! My cheeks hurt from laughter after listening to the incredible Betina Console and her reluctant partner! :D

[@grouchomarx-youbetyourlife7476]

SuperWinterborn She was something else, all right. No wonder they had her on the show 3 times! I'm so glad I finally got a copy of the middle of these three shows (thanks to a very nice guy in Australia who sent it to me).

[@SuperWinterborn]

Groucho Marx - You Bet Your Life I remember her from earlier episodes and yes, it is obvious why she was invited back! ;)

[@arttrombley7385]

She's a real card, lol.

Hahahaha..quite possibly related to Rosanna!

Betina ❤️

[@nicholasjanke3476]

This show really revived Groucho's career.

[@keithnaylor1981]

Wonderful end for the lady who won approx 50,000 USD at todays value.

[@marymarysmarket3508]

The value of money in 2023 is about 9-10X that of the mid-50's

[@joegon72]

Thanks for posting these wonderful shows. My wife and I were born about ten years after these aired originally, but they were still being aired on reruns. We grew up on these and many other classic TV shows. Back then we only had 5 channels! :)

[@grouchomarx-youbetyourlife7476]

joegon72 Now we all have 500 channels, and less to watch of any real worth than when we had 5. :)

[@BeingRomans829ed]

True! We had two channels, and there was always something to look forward to every night of the week.

[@mariocisneros911]

So did we and were probably lived and watched the same things.

[@eamonhannon1103]

Really excellent show ! Great fun !

[@ThreePhaseHigh]

Now you know why no one watches TV today nothing comes close.

[@gaylelewis9114]

U so said it. U have to go back about 60 years or more to get something worth watching

[@louisep5178]

1880 wow this is history as well as entertaining 👌

[@Johnny53kgb-nsa]

That $5,000 would be about $55,000 in today's money. I liked Groucho, he was very funny, and a perfect fit for this show. We'll see if Jay Leno can cut the mustard, lol.

[@patfromamboy]

Yep. 100 doesn’t seem like much to the losers but it’s 1000 today which isn’t too bad. It helps to understand how saving money in a can works. Saving 100 in a can then would only be worth 100 now. It’s better than spending it all back then though. Keeping up with inflation is important. If you gained every year though you could do well. I’ve been learning about that lately because of things my family did.

To answer his opening query, it's duck or hen (in ornithology.

[@musicman89503]

I would love to see the episode with the then young senator from Mass. Jack Kennedy.

[@MrMenefrego1]

Groucho sure is selective about who he tells to 'Talk it over with your partner'.

OMG! One look at those pizzas - and I'm not hungry...

[@jr4062]

Anyone know what happened to the spinning wheel which also had a duck?

[@marymarysmarket3508]

It was sold on one of the Antique Road show programs. Evidently there were 2 of them used

[@martinjones5965]

6m53 ... so what's the psychology behind the 25c part of the price? Is this before they invented 99c on the end of every price?

[@JAY-gl5xd]

Duck or hen is a female duck. A male is a drake, or a duck.

[@tonyshort1171]

So brilliant in 2021. In UK only Morcombe and Wise were funnier

[@Matt2chee]

They screwed that old guy. Where did King Arthur have his court? Oh well, common practice in those days. There was no mercy on the questions for foreign people either. And Betina was 100% correct.
