The actual games are unimportant unless you are a fan of trivia from the 1950s. The real reason to watch these classic shows is to watch the mind of Julius Henry “Groucho” Marx at work as he interviews the contestants. With one of the world’s greatest straight men, George Fenneman, at his side, Groucho lets his rapier wit slice away at the laughing guests. Not all of the jokes work, but with Groucho there is another, and probably, funnier one on the way so just stay tuned. The extras, especially the stag reel of jokes the censors wouldn’t approve back in the 1950s, are a real treat.
