Review From a Former NBC-TV Executive & Founder of "The Dean Martin Fan Center"
If anyone wants complete versions of Dean Martin's Variety Show released to the public, it is I, along with thousands of fans worldwide!

And it's sort of the same now, because as each of these programs ending I would sit there for a couple of minutes and find myself still grinning with enjoyment.

Yes, with the old variety shows, sometimes you had to sit through performances of people you didn't always appreciate, but Dean's shows more than made up for that with the spontaneity and good-natured humor that was always...
