...Cantor does avoid the tension involved in live TV performances in his shows. ("Ida's feeling was that she'd rather have a live husband.")

Their routines, especially the Bum's Opera, provide the best humor of the evening. Even with large numbers on stage the dancing is handled neatly, and Mike Kellin ("Hazel") and G. D. Wallace (Mac) both fit the pattern well with their clever patter...
