Ensofter Overrated and overhyped

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

tforbes-2 "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In" came in like a breath of fresh air when it first surfaced in the latter part of 1967. Maybe the idea wasn't totally new, but by television standards, it was VERY different.I took to it immediately as a kid, in part because I was already hip to certain things (such as how SQUARE CBS was!), and how the show poked fun at so many things. Season One had a special raw quality, though seasons two and three were fun to watch as well.Sadly, despite such GREAT talent as Johnny Brown and Lily Tomlin, the show started to run on tired blood when Season Four began. Maybe it was the very onset of the 1970s, because so much changed. The series began to look a little dated in Season Five because of the onslaught of such programs as "All In The Family," and by then, the ratings began to sag. And then it was all over by 1973.No matter. When it was good, it was and IS fantastic! And it brought plenty of amusement to my life. It was also very innovative in other ways, such as having the Banana Splits (a children's show) appear on the show in 1968. Imagine, having children's and adults' programming come together like that. It was never done before.And I am thankful for this.

Dalbert Pringle If ever there was a 1960's TV show that totally jumped on the "Now Generation" bandwagon - That one show would, undoubtedly, have to be "Laugh-In".To me - The major trouble with "Laugh-In" (which was neither hip nor cool) was that it was geared to please (and produce chuckles from) the most conservative and mealy-mouthed squares imaginable. This show didn't come anywhere near to offering its audience groundbreaking humour, at all. No. It didn't."Laugh-In" was a "roll-your-eyes-to-the-ceiling-and-groan"-type of comedy program where its stale jokes were repeatedly delivered with total smugness from the unfunny members of its second-rate cast.Not only were women frequently depicted as being flaky bimbos on "Laugh-In" - But I lost track of how many times it became plainly obvious that the actors were, indeed, reading their lines straight from cue-cards that were placed before them just out of camera-range.The only thing that makes any sense to me as to why so many people are giving "Laugh-In" such high ratings all boils down to them choosing to view this decidedly dimwitted show through the murky haze of rose-coloured glasses.

deanmartin101 who doesn't like this show. it had some of the biggest names in hollywood, like jo anne worley, goldie hawn, soon-to-be president richard nixon, milton berle, bob hope, and even the merchant of venom: don rickles. it was made during a time when sexist and racist jokes were actually funny, and had the big names in hollywood do skits to make themselves look like asses. if you haven't seen this show, you're an idiot, and if you have, keep on smilin', keep on cheerin', and keep on laughin'!

dangerousdinos All I can say is "When will they release DVD's of this show?" Soon I hope! What a great way to look where a lot of great talent got started. Not to mention some very special and talented writing. Some goofy and some with a great deal of thought behind them. Almost a libary of looks and phrases from the 70's. This and some of the Dean Martin shows would be great to look back on in DVD. Look how popular the old Johnny Carson shows were on DVD and VHS.
