You just don't see stuff like this on TV anymore..
 
.....and let's be grateful.
However, this was funny stuff in its day.
Dad and I were just smoking a cigar and reliving this show that we always saw together as a family.
Lots of great stars that were a part of this show but his is a clip that I remembered that to this day cracks me up.

Rowan and Martin's Laugh In was a family favorite.

I think I will make "Tip toe through the Tulips" my ringtone.:r:r:r

Wow... I have probably not seen that since it first aired. Classic "Laugh-In" insanity! :r

Just occurred to me... doesn't Tiny Tim look like he could be Marilyn Manson's father? Or, perhaps his mother? ;)

Used to watch that when I was a kid too.

Great memories of watching this live with my parents as a little kid in Detroit. :D

The truly funny thing is that youngsters viewing this will not know Tiny Tim was absolutely dead serious on here and that song was an actual hit for him.:r:r:r

Amazing how many great stars of the time were on that show.
Here is a clip with John Wayne shortly after the beginning.
He was on there quite a few times.

The many doors at the end of the show and the go-go scenes were my favorites.

How about Goldie Hawn? I had the hots for her long before she gave birth to Kate Hudson. That could have been our child.

One of the great shows I remember watching with the family. So goofy most went over everyone's heads at the time. :D

I used to love watching Johnny Carson's expressions when he was on the Tonight Show.

That's precisely what I was thinking when I looked at the first clip!

Didn't he get married on Carson's show?

Good stuff! Plus I have to agree that Goldie was a real cutie on that show.

Sure did.
We are showing our age.
On 17 December 1969, he married Victoria Mae Budinger ("Miss Vicki") on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson

I think they were married for less than 10 years.

I've seen clips of Laugh-In over the years and remember my parents' (especially my father's) recollections of it. A show that's still ahead of its time, even today.

They were married for 8 years and divorced, although throughout the marriahe they mostly lived apart. They had one daughter "Tulip Victoria"

Just read all that...I wasn't born yet

Yeah me neither but I was a really big fan of Nick at Night and TV Land as a kid.

I used to watch this with my folks, great fun...

I loved Nick at Night. I always watched Mr. Ed

As I got a little older I loved TGIF on Friday Nights. Full House, Family Matters (I could recite and do the urkel dance)...can't remember the other ones

I remember that when it first aired.

Dick and Dan were great, and had a phenomenal supporting cast. I think the Laugh-In, as well as the Smothers Brothers, deserve a lot more recognition than they've ever received for being representative of the times.

Good memories. :tu
