The Jerry Lewis Show Collection

Like scotch and milk or overripe durian fruit, the unique comic style of Jerry Lewis is an acquired taste. If you enjoy his comedy, then you’ll love this collection of highlights from 13 episodes of The Jerry Lewis Show that aired on NBC from 1967-69. If you’re on the fence about him, give it a shot, too. The characters he portrays – nebbish Sidney Portnoy, Professor Frobisher and Oriental detective Sam Lichee to name a few – are still very funny (if a bit dated) and the guest list is top notch. Even if you don’t think Lewis is funny, watch these shows long enough and you’re bound to laugh.
