I was 10 when the show premiered, and totally loved the fast pace and the silliness (and Goldie.) My kid is now 10, and he thinks it's terrible.

Can't fault any show that gave Nixon the opportunity to show how hip and with it he was.

I watched Laugh-In when it was new. The major fascination was probably the pace of the show, which was about ten times faster than any other show that had aired up until that time. The 'zany', 'fun', and 'hip' signifiers just rained down on your head by the bucket load, so you felt a bit like you were speed-reading all the cultural changes that were happening at the same time - which were equally fast-paced and confusing.

You weren't really getting anything out of it, but it gave that impression and it didn't give you time to notice how empty it was.

Like flippin' through a deck of Wacky Packages.

one year passes...

Bumping this because it has more Laugh-In content than the other thread.

So who's left? None of the male cast, it seems.

Goldie, Ruth Buzzi, Lily Tomlin, and Ann Elder

Joanne Worley is still yelling!

I got maybe about two minutes into the Netflix tribute special.

Willie Tyler (and Lester!) from the last season is still kickin' at 78.
