There was hilarity without viciousness. To be sure, I don't mind vicious humor when it's aimed at the correct target. But joyous silliness is a wonderful thing.
I got Red Skeleton’s autograph when I was a little girl, at the Dunes Restaurant in Palm Springs, CA. He was much older and his date was much younger.😉 What talent and amazing humor he gave to the world!
I got ahold of some 'best of Burnett' stuff and showed it to my kid (well, 30 year old kid). We had a blast. My god, I didn't know how adult some of that stuff was. I saw that originally as a kid and loved Tim Conway for the 'Oldest Man' and 'Mrs Ha-wiggins' sketches. I recently caught their send up of 'Valley of the Dolls' on YouTube. Comedy Gold.
Best of the best! Tim Conway, Harvey Korman, Carol Burnett and later, Vicky Lawrence ("Mama's Family"). Tim Conway was an incredible ad libber, and the rest of the cast could barely contain themselves. Like the famous "elephant" scene...
I watched early SNL all the time...and All in the Family, The Jefferson’s, etc. Without humor, society may as well be dead!
Is there anyone in this present company who remembers Carol Burnett and Harvey Korman spoofing "Random Harvest?" Oh children, what you've missed...
Lmao! “Gone With the Wind” was THE BEST! I watched this show every weekend as a kid. I feel sorry for kids now. They can’t laugh at anything.
I loved that! With the curtain rod across her shoulders. 😂🤣😂🤣
I saw it in the window and just had to have it.
that makes me laugh even now
Same
🥳😂
Right on Bandit!!!!🤣😂🤣

I don't remember the "Random Harvest" part, but, OMG!, that show slayed me! And I was only 12.

I do remember seeing that before. I just didn't remember the name.
Harvey and Tim together were a riot.
Red Skeleton and Ed Sullivan! Red was my favorite because my grandpa was just like him. Funny and kind.

My bad! I thought it already was dead.
