With that said, those truly interested in getting a sense of what &#8220;Your Show of Shows&#8221; was like should simply check out one of the compilation DVDs; fortunately, there&#8217;s plenty available for fans to enjoy. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An enjoyable glimpse at highlights from a classic television series<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Ten-From-From-Here.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Ten-From-From-Here-1024x640.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-59143\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Ten-From-From-Here-1024x640.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Ten-From-From-Here-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Ten-From-From-Here-128x80.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Ten-From-From-Here-768x480.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Ten-From-From-Here-1536x960.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Ten-From-From-Here-432x270.png 432w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Ten-From-From-Here.png 1680w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Ten-From-Auto-Smashup.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Ten-From-Auto-Smashup.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"384\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-59144\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Ten-From-Auto-Smashup.png 512w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Ten-From-Auto-Smashup-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Ten-From-Auto-Smashup-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Ten-From-Auto-Smashup-360x270.png 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nNo &#8212; but I think most film fanatics would enjoy checking out this classic variety show, which was a forerunner of both &#8220;The Carol Burnett Show&#8221; and &#8220;Saturday Night Live&#8221;.
