Back in the 60's we had a program called Rowan + Martin' comedy hour. One particular skit was about a young girl tied to the mainmast while vile pirates are prancing about poking + prodding her + all the the time saying things like "Arr'etc." Our damsel gains courage + says " You'll not be so bold when the queen's navy arrives"!! The mate says "Har Lady ,we are the queen's navy." Guess you had to been there.

Sorry'I should read my posts before sending.It was Rowan + Martin's "Laugh In" not comedy hour although we had our share of them as well.

There was a time when you would miss a meal before you would miss Laugh-In.

Sock it to me Judy. If you remember this you are getting old.

Put that in your Funk And Wagnall and smoke it!

For years Tyrone F. Horneigh (pronounced "hor-NIGH" though there are other possibilities) has been pursuing Gladys Ormphby (Ruth Buzzy) on the late 60s early 70s classic sketch comedy show Rowan and Martin's Laugh In. He would sit on the park bench next to her and ask "Do you believe in the here after?" When she replied "Yes" he would say "then you know what I'm here after!"

Veerrrrrrrryyyyyy Interesting but (Cute comment on the preceding skit)

I always liked Jo Anne Worley as much as Judy Carne for some reason.

Watched an old episode a few years ago, and wondered what in the world I saw in that show. I guess you had to have been there at the time, to have it make any sense.

SOCK IT TO ME BABY!

EVERYONE watched that show. A good indacator was the next days "watercooler conference" was always,did you see laugh in last night?

I used to really enjoy watching Laugh-In and All In The Family. The jokes were so, so funny. Then a couple of years ago I decided to look up a few funny shows and episodes from about forty years ago. I was shocked. Nothing they said or did was funny. All of the humor was so dated that it either didn't make sense or it fell flat.

I wonder what people will think of our senses of humor forty years from today.

And my favorite was the Smothers Brothers. When Tommy did a frog routine with Eartha Kitt I believe he kept saying ribbett,ribbett,+ want'ed to say frig it,frig it. The network shut him down.So the next week he did a pirate boarding scene when (as he sneered at the camera)now I can say frigate all I want.

I know Grenadier, I bought the complete box set of the Avengers a few years back with the real Emma Peel.Although I loved it back in the 60's,it was kind of dated,now. However I also bought the complete "Get Smart" box set + although it was cold war dated material,007,etc. It was + is still funny. Mel Brooks is great.

One of my favorites was "The Prisoner" with Patrick McGoohan. Kind of abstract but it really made sense in the late 1960's.
I also loved the movie "Dr. Strangelove" when it came out @ 1964 or so. I saw it again a few years ago and boy, was it a total dud.
