        Amazing that the 1966 version was in color, but the 2018 version was only in white.

        Correct (I looked it up). Actually it started out on Tuesday night (where it was getting trounced in the ratings by Red Skelton), but they moved it to Friday and retitled it "The Phyllis Diller Show" midseason.

        I had the honor to meet Red Skelton in Detroit, and got his autograph. He was so nice and pleasant. Funny thing is, a lot people didn't even know it was him. I grew up watching him, and I must say it was "best day ever" to finally meet him.

        The #SouthHamptonPruitts needs at least an @nbcsnl skit remake with @AlanDersh as a Gladys Kravitz type neighbor.
