We’re lucky they preserved these great shows

[@rickkellman5702]

I remember this show! Gertrude pranced across the stage mimicking Groucho"sfamous crouch with cigar and bathing suit. Groucho looked surprised full wellknowing after her stunt, she would be out of the running for Mrs. HousingDevelopment. I hope some day we can all see the results of the quiz as wellas Gertrude's little prank. Miss Groucho sooo much!

Grouchos Comparison of Gertrude to Janet Gaynor was a nice gesture and the show itself was a fun episode.

14m8s - hard to think of a more bazaar scene - a boxer upside-down reciting Shakespeare (passionately) whilst eating his tie and hie trousers becoming short.

“I never saw Napoleon in a bathing suit” 🤣

[@rickrick5041]

They were very nice to help with the spelling

[@janepatterson6779]

I agree...

[@parsonscarlson7984]

Good ole' George Fennemen even took a little initiative on the old couples behalf. I also think that the old guy was able to spell somnambulism because he probably suffered from it.

[@sandy3482]

oh shoot I wanted to see the end!

[@annodomini7887]

Which episode had the Greek waitress who married a customer??? Could someone please help me find it?? I think it’s a family member.

[@IWillSayMyPeace]

Probably a little late but it is this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/enmWYqClobKHbLc

[@beatmet2355]

Groucho is the most accommodating game show host I’ve ever seen. He and George went out of their way to make sure the contestants have a really good chance at winning! The guy in the first game is a terrible speller! Lol

[@Groucho-tg1tx]

and u to louie.... lmao

[@dancelli714]

OH, MAN, I was waiting to see her in a bathing suit. The show was cut off.

[@LyleFrancisDelp]

Well darn it. I really wanted to see Gertie in a bathing suit.

[@johnponomaroff100]

😮 0:23

[@m42037]

Where's the rest?

[@LyleFrancisDelp]

Lesson. NEVER choose spelling as your category.

[@donkboys]

So where’s the bathing suit?

[@vision2086]

So nambulism😂

[@auletjohnast03638]

LIKE I SAID, STOP CUTTING THE SCENES, FINISH THE SHOW.

The wakeful sidecar premenstrually hand because feet spectroscopically fancy with a elated sound. sturdy, uncovered thing

Still doing crack? Jesus can deliver you, friend. He can straighten out your corrupted mind so that not only can you think straight, but put your thoughts in intelligible order. "For the Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost" (Luke 19:10).
