"THE BEST OF LAUGH-IN" ON PBS THIS MONTH

gregg75

gregg75

This new one hour show will air nationwide (at various times) during March. The show began in 1967 (as a special) when family shows like ANDY GRIFFITH, GUNSMOKE and FAMILY AFFAIR were the normal tv fare. The special was so popular that it was made a regular NBC series and replaced the Man From U.N.C.L.E. at 8PM on Monday nights in January 1968.

The program was quite risque (for the time) in both comments and visuals. I'm not sure such a similar show would get the "green light" in today's world. We all saw what happened to SKINS.

Let's hope PBS does a better job than it did with some of the recent PIONEERS OF TV shows.

I wanted to watch those shows, but TiVo was full. And I just forgot. Maybe they'll repeat them.

I enjoyed this show as a child but at the time didn't get the humor.
 
Like most of these “specials” on PBS, I suspect that half the time will be spent hawking a DVD of the show in exchange for a large contribution to the local station.

Or you can get the DVD sets from eBay or Best Buy, especially if you disagree with the management of your local PBS station.
