Sid Caesar: The Works

Way back when TV was in its infant stages, a funny, funny guy paved the path for a group of Broadway comedians to splash onto the small screen. Sid Caesar came to TV and brought with him a slew of writers and performers who would become as legendary as he did, including Imogene Coca, Mel Brooks, Carl Reiner, Neil Simon and Woody Allen.
