For four years in the early 1970s, comedian Flip Wilson presided over one of the most popular variety shows on television. The show featured weekly guest stars as well as Wilson's own characters, the most noteworthy of whom were "Reverend Leroy," the genially bombastic pastor of the "Church of What's Happening Now," and "Geraldine Jones," a thoroughly sassy and proud African American woman played by Wilson in a miniskirt. Featuring highlights from five episodes of the program, this collection includes the show's very first appearance on September 17, 1970. Wilson cavorts shamelessly and hysterically as Geraldine during an interview with David Frost and in a skit that features TV legend Ed Sullivan, acting (well, sort of) as a lounge lizard in garish '70s garb (including purple pants and a leather vest). Bill Cosby appears in several skits, and other guest stars include Lucille Ball, Don Rickles, Bobby Darin, Tim Conway, Red Foxx, Ray Charles, the Osmonds (singing and dancing in signature rhinestone jumpsuits), and Big Bird of Sesame Street. Wilson's career never again reached the peak he attained in the early 1970s, but these programs show how truly hilarious he was at the time his character Geraldine Jones had the whole country saying, "The devil made me do it!" --Robert J. McNamara

Customer Reviews of The Flip Wilson Show

Hilarious classic... edited
The other review explains how Flip acquired the rights to his show in the early90's and edited the episodes for rerun play. However, I think it was a mistake to use these edited versions for DVD. The editing isn't always very good, and watching the picture gallery feature makes one long for the scenes that are included there but not in the episodes themselves. Still, it's worth it for what is included!


PLEASE READ THIS! FLIP WILSON DVD IS FUNNY!
***this is a single dvd disc of flip wilson shows***true,they have been edited***but man,what your shown is nothing but funny,funny,funny,skits and performances***whoever did the editing left you the "best" parts***alot of really funny,funny skits with famous guests*** i have never been impressed with men dressing up like women as being funny***examples:jack lemmon ,milton berle,dustin hoffman,robin williams,etc.***but flip wilson took his character to a level that even the celebrities trying to do the performances with him couldnt" stand, they would totally break down with laughter *** the dvd also shows many,many other funny sides of wilsons comic genius other than the character geraldine***funny,funny,stuff***video and audio quality of this dvd is A+++++++***


FLIP WILSON Comedy Shows A Blast From The Past!
I was inspired to write this review about the DVD releases on the classic Flip Wilson Show because several "reviewers" have written negative remarks. First of all, let it be known for the record that the Late Flip Wilson himself acquired the "rights" to his hour long comedy-variety show[episodes]from NBC back in the early 1990's and he set about editing them down to half hour episodes. His plan was to include the HIGHLIGHTS from each program within a half hour format. Eventually, after several years of hard work, cable's TV LAND aired his wonderfully edited episodes. The man was a comic genius! His characters, most notably "Geraldine Jones", were spectacular individuals who strangely enough developed "lives" of their own in our nation's Pop Culture, becoming massively popular & famous "in their own right". Who could ever forget that incredibly funny and true life-like character "Geraldine"?! That chick really had it going on and was a riot to boot! Anyway, releases on VHS were issued in single volumes[volume 1/volume 2 and so forth]with each tape including two episode "featurettes"...thus, on DVD a single disc will contain the equal to two VHS releases or 4 "featurettes" plus a "bonus" episode because of the expanded format on disc. THE FLIP WILSON SHOW has been issued by Rhino Video in superb video/sound quality, and three decades later, FLIP WILSON's universal brand of comedy has definitely withstood the test of time and remains extremely funny, charming and quite entertaining. Each disc is a goldmine full of laughter and entertainment; "Geraldine's" skits are truly the ultimate best! I just bet you FLIP is in heaven keeping all the angels & GOD laughing incredibly hard!
