The first 16 entries are for the 5 disks of this box:

(I'm not at all sure that the sketches came from the titles I used.)
Then I decided to include other Sid Caesar compilation discs.

- StarsSid CaesarCarl ReinerHoward MorrisA sketch-comedy television series, featuring Sid Caesar as the main star. It was based on Caesar's previous comedy shows, "Admiral Broadway Revue" and "Your Show of Shows", but often featured lengthier sketches than either of them. The series used most of the same cast and writers as the previous shows. The unavailable Imogene Coca (Caesar's long-time comedy partner) was replaced by Nanette Fabray. Several sketches were parodies of film genres, and others were satirical portrayals of the acting profession.2.1 Prison Walls

First, an encounter at a market that leaves Sid battered amid the debris, then Sid and Imogene as tourists in Paris, then Sid, Carl and Howie as incompatible shipmates in a submarine experiment. Next, an hilarious take-off on "Who's Afraid Of Virginia Wolf", then an updated visit from "The Haircuts", and lastly, all engage in a classic Caesar version of an Italian opera.4.4; 50min; includes some (apparently new) sketches and a recreation of Gallipacci
