[mhoopisblues]

Bisher war Gene Kelly der Mann meiner Jungmädchenträume....hach, was war ich verliebt. Hätte nie gedacht, daß ich als altes Weib diesen dürren Spargel namens Astaire mal so sexy finden würde. Aber es ist so. Der war, ist und hatte einfach Klasse.

[ChrisWalkenFan]

Isn't he the cutest fella who ever crossed your way???!!!!!!! *__* [Swoon]

[elecomob67whip]

Simply perfect etc etc. Well, all superlatives have been used ! Love him in everything. He was such an elegant, charming and yes, goodlooking gentleman.

[MegaWehrmacht]

[queenrocks77]

Fred should have left the mime stuff to Red Skelton

[Diamondgrl2007]

OMG i love this guy! =D...lol

one of my freakin idols

[goshnessmaggy]

i found this funny probably because i hate modern shows except for colbert and daily show. i hate this generation basically so my humor is very old fashioned. i laughed alot in this xD i love fred

[up2space]

i see most tv show skits back then were pretty bad. why was that?

[Gerkinstock]

Did you not like this?

[up2space]

yeah fred if anyone did it with precision. i don't know. i guess where all being subliminally brainwashed not to like this stuff anymore. it's cool. but it bores me. likei said i think these star tv shows are pretty lame until you get to the star.

[goshnessmaggy]

they weren't bad 0_0 they were a different kind of humor. comedy these days only get a cheap laugh. and normally people find things funny when they can relate to it. so humor can also relate to the times they live in. i personally don't find humor in today's shows =\ they try too hard

[lilmikedakid]

i see where michael gets it from

[oOZePirateOo]

and he aged well imo.

17 October 2008 -- the fiftieth anniversary of the NBC Color broadcast, 17 October 1958

[mca1218]

Kinda makes you think TPTB would try and put together a golden anniversary release of this on DVD, yes? That would be a spectacular product!!

[loafybrown]

thank you much for uploading this episode. God bless

[Lampshade51]

From "An Evening With Fred Astaire", October 1958.

As was mentioned earlier, this is the second oldest surviving color videotape in existence.

This first, I believe, is Ike opening the WRC-TV color studios in Washington.

Anyway, this Astaire special was restored by UCLA, and it looks beautiful. Disney channel ran restored version about 10 years ago.

Yes, where is the DVD release on this wonderful program?????

[KleinerRoterSatan]

I love Fred Astaire, and I admire him hugely!

[dw438]

This show oughta be released on blu-ray and dvd this year ... its 50th anniversary.

According to sources I read, AN EVENING WITH FRED ASTAIRE 1958 is the second oldest surviving color videotape in the world. Still looks good, and Fred Astaire will always entertain us. A monument in the history of TV musical specials.
