$1.98 Beauty Show (1978-80)

Oddball comedian Rip Taylor hosts this half-hour comedy series that features very hot and not-so-hot contestants, in some of the sexiest swimsuits from the late 70's, in which the winner is awarded a $1.98. This show was created by Chuck Barris, who declared it to be one of his personal favorites.

Sold as an 11-DVD-R set.

NOTE: This set includes 51 episodes from this now impossible to find show. 8 episodes out of the 51 were taken from original broadcasts back in October and November of 1985. Those 8 episodes include the original TV station commercials from 1985. This is the largest number of episodes (51) currently available anywhere for this show. Guaranteed.

Rip Taylor died on October 6, 2019, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, having been hospitalized after suffering a seizure the week prior.
