God, I miss those days! What a golden era of hilarious talent.

[XV1100SE]

You look at some of the old shows now (Gleason, Carson, Skelton, Benny, Burnett) or tv shows ... brings back a lot of memories.... some are timeless.

Funny, funny stuff. Humor without profanity or blatant sex and what not. A vanishing art. I was a kid when Red Skelton was on prime time. One of the channels we got carried the Red Skelton show. He could, and still can on DVD, make me laugh till tears without saying a word.

Jackie Gleason was another favorite.

And anything with Jerry Lewis or Dean Martin.

 

Almost makes me wish for Alzheimer's.

...another one that always makes me laugh is Foster Brooks. Put him with Dean Martin and you've got some great entertainment.
