Here Buster shows his kindly side playing Santa for the lonely kids at the hospital and creating toys for the kids.

[billga2010]

" The one on the end was flat " and the vice-clamp on the doll .

Pure Keaton - Pure Genius.

[DrakeGrad]

One of the greatest Film comedians of all time Buster was the best!

[kinsalion]

my cat is named buster,

[jenlikeshorses]

I think its really funny his character name is charlie lol

[4MaryAnna]

I have a dog named Buster,and although I really like Keaton,I really prefer Harold Lloyd.

[MJSweetChildofGod]

Hey, where's the rest of this?? Donna Reed is really patronizing in this show~I prefer her in From Here To Eternity.

[CriticalListener]

How lovely! I know what you mean. If I'd had a son, I'd have liked to have named him Keaton. It's a strong name, and it would be a wonderful remembrance of a greatly talented man.

[jsilence418]

The guy hanging from the clocks in the silents ,was Harold Lloyd, but  Buster was huge in his era!

[demunozt]

I´ve never heard his voice until this vid. It was... strange

[doforanimals]

He was a heavy smoker and too much booze in the 1930s made it a little rough.

[RJRanke]

I remember Buster Keaton from many shows and comercials in the late '50s and early '60s.He was really an underrated talent.

I read somewhere that Buster Keaton is remembered by some as either the greatest silent movie comic or the second greatest-depending on how much you liked Charlie Chaplin.

[ldyreal]

@RJRanke Buster Keaton was a silent film Star a BIG one. The famous guy hanging from the giant clock in silents, also Donna Reed was a contract actress in 1940's films.

[ragtimebill]

@ldyreal No, the guy hanging from the clock was Harold Lloyd.

[willinkeywest]

I did name my daughter Buster! For Buster! She's 20 now, and totally digs her name!

[TheCountessMondego]

thats pretty cool i like it when peoples names acually have meaning or a story behind them im suprised she didnt freak out sayin that u named her after a boy lol

[hekasoram]

so if it is a boy's name why did you name a girl with it?

[bkarwin]

You probably know this already: the story is that Buster Keaton was given that nickname by Harry Houdini, the famous escape artist. Buster's real name was Joseph, like his father.

[SeeSamSit]

I wonder why Buster Keaton is only known for his silent film work these days. He was very good in this clip.

[altgeist]

you could name your kid buster and when you get mad you say listen here buster. ... I love donna nad buster two of the greatest

[MrRudyKatoot]

Donna Reed and Norma Zimmer-they could of been sisters!

SEASON 2 RELEASE ON MOTHERS DAY!

[tygersflowerz]

I am so in love with Buster Keaton. If I have a son, I'm naming him Keaton - either first or middle name. I've been a fan about four years. He is/was amazing. "The General" is probably my favorite silent movie.

[keatonfan]

We named our son Keaton after BK. He's 21 now.

[maraskywalker]

I found Buster after my kids were already born, so too late to rename them.

But we did name our calico Keaton.

[thewickedfae]

@tygersflowerz I had the same idea about naming a future son after him but I'm undecided about using Keaton or Buster. =)

[tygersflowerz]

@thewickedfae Oh I love the name Keaton. I don't care if it's Irish and I'm not.

[JubalCalif]

@tygersflowerz

Well said! It's always a joy to meet people who appreciate, love & respect the comedic genius of the late great Buster Keaton. Your heartwarming comment really MADE my day & my week! THANKS for posting! :-)

[jenlikeshorses]

@tygersflowerz me too! *le sigh*

[toddcharry]

@tygersflowerz I named a dog Buster, after him. He is my favorite from that era. His stuff never gets old. Remember the one where he played all the parts himself, even the women, he was a genius. I have almost everything he has ever done.

[TelecasterLPGTop]

@tygersflowerz Yes he was one of the greats.

[DaysOfBrokenArrows]

The first season DVDs are out and they are terrific -- very good quality, no "fake soundtracks" and no editing of the episodes (which run 25 plus minutes). This episodes is part of the package.

Thanks to Arts Alliance for putting them out. Let's have more!

[4MaryAnna]

I love Buster Keaton!I must say though,Harold Lloyd has a very special place in my heart,I just adore him!

[lastochkas]

This is a great show!

[tolstoyman2]

Loved this show..I hope we do get out-takes and value-added stuff..And rare footage..Did someone say that Season 4 will be released..

Now that is very special since the 4th Season never aired in synd.and hasn't aired since original broadcast.

[Busterseyes]

A "bit" of a career...hehehe. I've never seen this footage before. It's so sweet and so is Buster. I wonder if this is on the Keaton Plus DVD. Thanks for posting.

[lastochkas]

I hear they are releasing the first five seasons. That would include the extremely rare Season 4 which never aired on Nik at Nite or TV land. Can't wait! Finally a release worth something...Rare..

[bbdupon]

Not only was Keaton a vaudeville great, he had a bit of a career in silent films as well.:-) Thanks for posting this.

[Pamfino]

"...he had a bit of a career in silent films as well." LOL!!! Nice one! Thank goodness it was a big 'bit'!

I've been in love with Buster since I was about 10 years old, so I've seen most of his stuff; I've not seen this clip before though, and it's charming. Thanks so much for posting it.

Love from

Pam

[bbdupon]

Thanks Pam. I'm always happy to see Buster in any format--he was so genuine.

[jingles0]

I always wanted to see this episode with Buster. Thanks for posting!
