Joey Bishop Show Review Joey Bishop, the famed "Frown Prince of Comedy," and co-star of the original Rat Pack classic Ocean's Eleven, stars as New York talk show host Joey Barnes in this witty, smartly-written sitcomThis second season marked a new beginning for the series, with new cast members and hilarious new characters, including Abbey Dalton as Joey's new wife, Ellie, Guy Marks (The Dick Van Dyke Show) as Bishop's conniving manager Freddie, Joe Besser (The Three Stooges) as high-strung building superintendent Jillson, and Corbett Monica (Broadway Danny Rose) as comedy writer Larry Corbett. The second season of the Joey Bishop Show ushered in big changes. This is the cast and the format we remember best with Abby Dalton playing his wife. Also, this season was the first in color. (In the last season the show would move to CBS and back to black and white.) Bishop was the unsung hero of the Rat Pack. He wrote the jokes and much of the banter they used in their Las Vegas nightclub act. He was the only comedienne in the group, and while the others were known for the easy ways, Bishop made his reputation by appearing with a quiet frown. Joey Bishop Show DVD - Second Season The show just reeks of early Sixties. A perfect time capsule from an age when all things were possible and drinking was cool. Kennedy was in the White House and Sinatra was Chairman of the Board.The color seems a bit off to modern eyes, but this is from the early days of color TV. Hey, Joey and his pregnant wife sleep in separate beds in a time when a single marital bed on TV was considered risque! I had forgotten how subtly wonderful Bishop could be when in full deadpan mode. Special Features: 1) Meet the Rat Pack 2) The pilot episode of The Joey Bishop Show, which aired on Make Room For Daddy 3) Theatrical trailers for Joey Bishop film favorites, including: Ocean's Eleven, Texas Across the River, and Sergeants Three.
