In 1973, The Dean Martin Show was declining in popularity. So for the 1973 - 1974 season, a new feature called a "roast" was added to try to pick up the ratings. The roasts seemed to be pretty popular among television audiences. So after the show was cancelled in 1974, NBC drew up a contract with Dean to do several specials and do more roast specials. Enter The Dean Martin Celebrity Roast. Starting with Bob Hope in 1974, the roast was taped in California and turned out to be a hit, leading to many other roasts to follow. In the fall of 1974, the roasts moved permanently to the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas. From 1974 until early 1979, in the hotel's Ziegfeld Room, stars like Valerie Harper, Frank Sinatra, Peter Marshall, Jimmy Stewart, Joan Collins, and many others were roasted.

The comedy series for children aired on August 1, 1974 and December 1, 1984 on the NBC network , It has a total number of 26 episodes , you can watch the tv episodes on dvd , Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts DVD , compiled to enjoy the shows....
