Rowan & Martin's, Laugh-in "Look That Up In Your Funk & Wagnalls
[VHS]
Starring: Dan Rowan, Dick Martin
|
This show popularized a
rapid style of vignette comedy show where comedy sketches, punch-lines
and gags are edited together in a rapid and almost random format.
Regular trademark elements included the joke wall, the dancing woman
tattooed with one-liners and the fickle finger of fate award. This
series would inspire such shows as Monty Python's Flying Circus and
Sesame Street.

From Beautiful Downtown Burbank: A Critical History of Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In, 1968™1973 [Hardcover]
Starring: Dan Rowan, Dick Martin
|
Rowan and Martin's
Laugh-In was one of the quirkiest and most unusual programs on
television, defying definition as simply comedy, variety, or burlesque.
The show had audiences laughing for six seasons and continues to make
appearances in revivals, reunions, and salutes. Even with corny and now
dated humor, the show's signature lines and gags are ingrained in
popular American culture. This critical history of Laugh-In is arranged chronologically and includes background details on the show's creators and the events leading up to Laugh-In's creation. In addition to an analysis of the original six seasons, the text includes information on lookalike shows that emerged after Laugh-In's success, and on the various resurgences of the show that continue up into the nineties. An appendix contains a complete program history with principal production credits and episode guides.

Remember the days when Kate Hudson's mom was the next big thing? The days when you could say Dick on TV and mean it? The days when TV was veeeery interesting? You bet your bippy you do! Well now those days are back - sort of. If only for a half-hour, you can now relive the golden age of Goldie Hawn (and her riotous gang of funny friends) on this soundtrack to one of the most varied variety shows to ever grace the little screen. From a Russian rendition of Mame, a chorus line of joking judges, a heroic march for barn animal rights, and a truly laughable lyric line to a newscast that admits to predicting the news before it happens, it's all here. Even the infamous joke wall makes an invisible appearance or two. 13 tracks. |
