Ah, so, everyone is an, how do I say this, ah so? What? Too soon? And no ah so watched SNL's 40th anniversary show? Oh no, you degenerate, elitist, ah so's were watching and discussing Laugh In? Ah so-ish indeed! Screw! You're not worthy of my stage presence or lyrical genius.

listen here, elitist.....without laugh-in, there's no SNL....slow down the rock star lifestyle and stop to smell the roses.

Or the floral scented kitty litter.

Sock it to me!

It's funny how Rowan and Martin drinking / smoking on-stage was considered the norm.

What a sign of the times. That'd be called racist these days...I think.

Loved Sanford & Son though (much like I did Chico and the Man!).

Redd used to buy coke from my old boss' ex - said he could be asshole too, but who knows. We're talking the 80's here

The BEST

Just think of all the quality Tv we had.
The Jeffersons
All in the Family
Welcome back Kotter
Threes Company
Happy Days/L&S
Soap
Friday's (anyone remember this)
Mel's Diner
Good Times

I could go on and on

Last-12-Exit

You forgot about golden girls and cheers!

Actually,I would say without Second City there is no Laugh In.

While I enjoy many of those (dont recall Friday's) on re-runs I think only the comedic shows were better previously. Probably you agree as well since they are what you listed when you looked back at shows you loved from the past. There are exceptions to that statement I am sure but I think shows like Sanford & Son, All in The Family, and the Jeffersons stand the test of time because shit that is hysterical stays hysterical. Shit that is action packed or futuristic or super dramatic tends to change.

True true, but oh that whole era!

All in the Family is my penultimate (MASH too). They had a way of making me laugh and then tear up (and I HATE tender moments in comedies!).

rr165892

Oh shit.I forgot about Mash and of course The Odd Couple.

rr165892

And Taxi then Cheers.That led to the Seinfeld era.

hedonist

Ah...Father Jim and Coach. Along with Archie Bunker, two of the best characters created!

Let's not forget ALF

two things:

like BB, I am now on double secret probation.

secondly, a shout out to ensemble comedies: taxi, barney miller, WKRP.....all kinda the same, but different.

OK.....one more....Friday's was awesome.....michael richards as the stoned pharmacist

hedonist

You two better be careful. No bannings of either of you, dammit! (if that's what you're referring to).

Two things from me:

First, the hell was Friday's?

And second to BB...ALF??
