The Marx Brothers TV Collection Season 1
The Marx Brothers became entertainment icons through a long and brilliant career on vaudeville and Broadway stages, and they sealed their immortality in a string of celebrated feature films. But the end of their film career was perfectly timed for a collision with the birth of television. The new medium provided Groucho, Chico and Harpo with unprecedented exposure — which meant, of course, an opportunity to bring laughter to millions of people all at once. It was as if live vaudeville was being beamed to the entire nation. For the next 20 years, the Marx Brothers' appearances on television — individually and together — included sitcoms, game shows, variety programs and even the occasional drama.

presented by The General Electric Theater and hosted by Ronald Reagan. This half hour 1959 television special plays like a silent movie featuring Harpo and Chico as bungling robbers. It's actually the very first and last televised effort where the brothers all appear together (with Groucho in a very brief cameo).
