Admittedly my username is about my feelings of a certain cartoon character from a recent cartoon I enjoy, but I still enjoyed watching Eddie Fisher and his guest performing music the old-fashioned way. In some ways, it's quite charming.

These little Coke Time shows are among the best looking, best preserved kinescopes I've ever seen. The quality is at least as good as that of many uploads to this site in which the action had been filmed directly. Of course, this episode is so flubbed up Mr. Fisher would probably have preferred that it not be preserved at all. Yet here it is, while so much truly classic live TV is lost. *sigh*
