This is a great documentary on the Great One none the less!

Hosted and narrated by John Candy, Teri Garr, John Larroquette, and Art Carney, this program shows Gleason in his heyday on and off the camera. The rarely seen footage is a treat as well as the sampling of outtakes and bloopers from the Golden Age of TV.

This documentary was one of the first programs I ever recorded off television.
