Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In

Sadly I don't think it aged well. As most of jokes/skits were current event based. But yes I would like to watch a view episodes for a kick.

Much of Laugh-ins humor was of the "that's so stupid that it's funny" variety and "lets see if we can get this past the censors".

I always liked the Poems by Henry Gibson
and Jo-Ann's Chicken Jokes

and seeing who the surprise guests would be.

When nothing much else is on, it's still fun to take a look at.

I just discovered I can watch it on Amazon Prime.  HAving watched the first fifteen episodes, I still find some of it funny.  Not all of it, but then in a sketch show I think that's inevitable.

Right about the Kovacs influence, Kosko. I can see it. Good show, I wonder how it would play today. It was so topical. The 1968 episodes were hilarious, for 1968. Laugh-In ran longer,--was it five years?--than one might think. That's a good run, mostly post-Sixties. When the show started variety shows were still popular, which would soon change, though the change didn't hurt Laugh-In (or Dean Martin, either). Goldie Hawn was so cute on the show.

I knew Henry Gibson's work from other things he'd done, was delighted to see him become at least a minor star, or journeyman star, for a few years anyway. Laugh-In really captured the feelgood side of the Sixties. It was such a tumultuous decade of huge social change, most of it serious; but not all of it. Laugh-In brought out the best of the Sixties: a time to live, laugh and have fun. Yeah, I know: middle of the road. Not for hardcore hippies and radicals. It was the Sixties for the "straight", not the hip people. Kinda like Johnny Carson, but geared to a somewhat younger crowd.
