The Red Skelton Hour Season 2 Episodes

Episode 1

Willie Comes Home

Sun, Sep 28, 195230 mins

In his monologue, Red includes David Rose for a quick bit about a Texan at a bar. Next, he shows his impressions of different televiewers, including kids who put their faces too close to the screen and a grouchy political convention watcher. The middle (Tide) skit has Cauliflower McPugg as a baseball player and Benny Rubin as the umpire who keeps stumbling his lines, as well as the other actors, making a shambles of it. The last part has Willie Lump Lump returning to his home after vacationing for several months, only to find the place a ruin, overgrown with plant life like a lost Inca temple.

Clem Kaddidhopper's Graduation

Sun, Nov 9, 1952

A look in on the third grade class in a one- room country school, we find Clem Kadiddlehopper getting belted in the head by the kid in the desk behind him, so he dumps water on him, and other distractions. Instead of graduating, Clem gets dropped a grade. The Tide segment had McPugg laying on a rubdown table in his dressing room, talking to his unsympathetic trainer and manager after losing yet another fight. The final segment shows Private Willie Lump Lump ordered by Sergeant Benny Rubin to see the "G.I. Dentist" before he can be discharged. The doctor decides to pull a tooth. After wrestling it out of his mouth, the dentist remarks at the size of it, and Willie asks "Is it a boy or a girl?"

He accidentally blows up his studio by foolishly using "Atomic Flash Powder" from Nevada. (Where A-Bomb testing takes place). The last part has Red and friend (Mike Ross) as a pair of bums trying to get hired as kitchen help at a diner, where they steal a pie in the process.
