The Marx Brothers TV Collection

The well-received half-hour show - basically a silent two-reel comedy with Harpo and Chico that could have been produced thirty years earlier - features only the briefest unadvertised appearance by Groucho.

In this thoroughly enjoyable meeting of two comic legends, Benny attempts to win some money by going on You Bet Your Life in disguise.

In Harpo Marx's last TV appearance, Senator Smith mistakes Harpo for a famous French pianist and invites him to play at the White House.

In this, the final episode of the series - and the only one known to survive - Chico considers an offer to sell his popular college hangout.

The premiere of Red Skelton's new one-hour show was a tour-de-force for Harpo, who was on camera almost as much as Skelton.

Harpo was a serious golfer and jumped at the chance to travel to Las Vegas to take on the legendary Sam Snead. He claimed a 21-stroke handicap and clowned his way through the match, but occasionally displayed a pretty good swing.

There's something fitting about Chico making one of his last public appearances with a deck of cards in his hands.

You Bet Your Life had been off the air for four years when Groucho accepted an offer to do a new version of the show in England. Simply called Groucho, the show utilized essentially the same format as the American show.

Harpo only made one television appearance during the 1961-1962 season - this special in which he and Carol Burnett walk through New York's Central Park looking at toys.

Celebrity panelists - on this episode, June Lockhart, Bob Considine, Quincy Howe and Groucho - were read quotations from the news of the day by host John Daly, and asked who had originally spoken them. Panelists Groucho alternates between insightful and disruptive.
