The Best of Flip Wilson

The Flip Wilson Show debuted in 1970 and became an immediate hit.  Running for four seasons, the show featured a who's who of TV and film stars, including Richard Pryor, Lily Tomlin, George Carlin and Don Rickles.  And the show introduced the world to Flip Wilson's alter-ego-Geraldine!
