In the days of black and white television, there were no Real Worlds, American Idols, or Survivors to keep our minds blissfully entertained; just good old fashion live comedy skits. Funny man legacy, Sid Caesar and partner Nanette Fabray deftly display a bickering couple with hands flaying wide and brows furrowed to limit to the classically renowned music of Beethoven’s 5th. This five-minute sketch is sure to show the timeless acts of 1950s television.
So next time you have a fight with your significant other and they have a blank look on their face- it’s not because they think you’re stupid; they’re just replaying this comedic skit through their head and listening to some classical Beethoven.
