FLIP WILSON SHOW ( 8 DVDS)

 

The Flip Wilson Show was the last time a television variety show was successful in focusing solely on one performer - but as popular and beloved as Flip Wilson was, outside of a few of guest-star turns on other variety shows (and a special in 1975) the star was rarely seen on network television after his series left the air.
The Flip Wilson Show appeared weekly on Thursday nights at 8:00 on NBC from September 17, 1970 until June 27, 1974 and featured no notable regular supporting players - just Flip Wilson and his stellar guests front and center.
Most of the action took place on a circular stage surrounded by audience members with only the barest scenery. This gave the show a more intimate feeling and put the focus purely on the stars and the material.
This series played host to the biggest musical and comedy performers around in the early seventies - a time when movie-star dinosaurs still roamed the Earth. John Wayne, Lucille Ball, Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Johnny Carson and almost every other major star was a guest on the show during it's run, and The Flip Wilson Show was the only primetime series where you could find musical guests like Issac Hayes, James Brown and The Temptations
Flip (he got the nickname because he flipped people out with his outlandish stories) was a very well known standup comedian and frequent Tonight Show guest (he was discovered by Johnny Carson and Redd Foxx) when NBC picked him to host a variety hour - and the public took to him, and the series, immediately.
