Vacation Time And Mad NBC Producers

The Skelton Scrapbook of Satire presents two funny stories. In Chapter 140, called "Working During The Vacation," Clem Kadiddlehopper finds himself having to work even though he's supposed to be on vacation. Chapter 141, titled "Going Away," features Junior, The Mean Widdle Kid, as he gets ready to leave town. Both chapters are part of the "Vacation Time" episode.

The Red Skelton Show is an American television comedy/variety show that aired from 1951 to 1971. In the decade prior to hosting the show, Richard "Red" Skelton had a successful career as a radio and motion pictures star. Although his television series is largely associated with CBS, where it appeared for more than sixteen years, it actually began and ended on NBC. During its run, the program received three Emmy Awards, for Skelton as best comedian and the program as best comedy show during its initial season, and an award for comedy writing in 1961. In 1959 Skelton also received a Golden Globe Award for Best TV Show.
