Throwback Thursday Comedy Special: Sid Caesar in "The Seven Dwarfs Bet"
We've developed a special liking for Thursdays because they give us an opportunity to revisit some of the classic TV skits of the days when Sid Caesar and his friends reigned supreme in performing wonderful comedy skits on Your Show of Shows and Caesar's Hour.
Today's throwback special is another of Caesar's skits, this time featuring Nanette Fabray, Carl Reiner, and Howard Morris. The Seven Dwarfs Bet is an episode of a recurring sketch, The Commuters (Sid's sort-of upper middle class counterpart to The Honeymooners).
In this episode, a controversy erupts over the name of the seventh dwarf. (Can you name all seven?)
Enjoy!
