According to an interview I saw with Dick Martin, Laugh-In was the first show to have a full time censor back stage. I watched this in high school and we boys changed the running joke to “look that up in your f*** and wagnalls”

Gary Owens had so many classic lines:
“This show was previously recorded because we were too ashamed to do it now.”

“This is your offstage announcer reminding you that this is your offstage announcer.”

What a great show…watched it as a kid, enjoyed them again as a teenager on a local station. We still refer to oddly dressed tourists as the Farkel Family as well. Especially those in Beautiful Downtown Burbank.

Who remembers the brief revival of Laugh-In from the early 80s? (or was it the late 70s?) All I really remember of it is that it was good but not as good, and had Robin Williams and probably Jonathan Winters in it.

I have never seen an episode. I’m mid thirties and my small town didn’t get nickelodeon on our cable package until 2000.

But I am very familiar with laugh-in. In junior high when my friends were sending in dedications to the radio stations and listening to Warrant and Bon Jovi. I listened to the Laugh-in Album and all Bill Cosby’s albums.

I loved Laugh-In! I was a kid when it aired, and I didn’t always get everything, but it was still great! Looking back, I’m surprised that my old-fashioned parents let me watch it.

When Reagan we elected, I remember hearing that it was \predicted\ during a Laugh-In \News of the Future\ piece that aired in 1968 or so, when he was governor of California. The show referred to him as \President Ronald Reagan\, which was followed by huge laughter from the audience. I think the year from which the news came was during Reagan’s administration.

My favorite Farkels were Simon and Gar always introduced as the twins Simon and Gar Farkel.

I haven’t thought about Laugh In in years… And who was that who’d always ride the tricycle and fall over?

Wasn’t Laugh-In the show where John Wayne dressed up in a bunny suit?
