Synopsis

A sketch-comedy television series, featuring Sid Caesar as the main star. It was based on Caesar's previous comedy shows, "Admiral Broadway Revue" and "Your Show of Shows", but often featured lengthier sketches than either of them. The series used most of the same cast and writers as the previous shows. The unavailable Imogene Coca (Caesar's long-time comedy partner) was replaced by Nanette Fabray. Several sketches were parodies of film genres, and others were satirical portrayals of the acting profession.
