34 classic episodes on six DVDs. 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 sitcom. "The Joey Bishop Show" ran from 1961-65. This 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. Joey is at his deadpan best as he juggles his professional life with married life. This six-disc set hits the jackpot with all thirty-four color episodes, and archival rarities, including the series pilot. Catch this consummate entertainer in his prime!

Product Description:

Primarily known as a member of the Rat Pack, Joey Bishop was also a gifted comedian with a deadpan style of humor that was on ample display in his early-1960s television series THE JOEY BISHOP SHOW. Like the concurrent DICK VAN DYKE SHOW, Bishop's self-titled sitcom expanded the standard domestic-comedy formula by focusing on both the career and family life of New York talk show host Joey Barnes (Bishop). While the first season debuted in black-and-white and found the character living at home with his parents, the second season shifted to color and centered on Joey's newlywed status with wife Ellie (Abby Dalton). This collection includes all 34 episodes of the series' second season.
