Re: Education
Well, Mike, it's certainly an unusual topic for a thread and it's increased my knowledge of triolets by 100%. Although my knowledge of toilets remains about the same
The best thing is the reminder of Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In from the late 60s. I adored that program and thought it was the funniest programme I'd ever seen. I wouldn't miss it. How I laughed at those catch-phrases such as the 'Look it up in your Funk and Wagnall!'. Even when you knew it was coming - it was just as funny. Remember the german soldier peeping from his hiding place? 'Interesting. Veeerrry interesting...'
And Goldie Hawn was hilarious. It was the show that made her a star.
I guess you had to be there but thanks for the memories anyway. Off to search YouTube for some clips, I think. That should cure me!

Re: Education
If I'm correct it used to be aired late on a Saturday night around 11.30ish (I think) as when we finished work in the hotel off we would dash to watch the Rowan and Martin 'Laugh In'. Like Ian, I used to think it was the best programme screened on TV.In the 1960s, there was a US comedy series called "Laugh In"
![Excited :excited:](./images/smilies/026.gif)
Couple of years ago there was a replay of one of their shows, eagerly I sat down and watched it along with my very dubious wife (who knows only too well what my choices of TV programmes are like)

Can't believe that after watching that I used to think it was brilliant...........my sense of humour has certainly changed since the sixties!!

Re: Education
'Laugh In' was revolutionary for it's time period but as you say now it looks very dated.
I used to love it at the time though.

Re: Education
Apart from the laughs, lots of short skirts, legs and the delicious satisfaction of seeing Goldie Hawn.

Dan Rowan in 1969 said, ..in a News of the Future bit.
"Berlin, 20 years from now - 1989. - There was dancing in the streets today as East Berlin finally tore down the wall."
....... Not completely accurate. But close enough.

Re: Education
Laugh In was mandatory viewing for me. I used to laugh myself silly when the did the "here comes da judge" bits. I loved Lily Tomlin as the telephone operator too, As Nigel #1 observed, time has taken a toll on a lot of the humour that was relevent at the time. But as Mike notes, cute blondes in bikinis and short skirts are rather timeless.
I always thought the idea for Laugh In came from a British show, like most really good shows. That Was The Week That Was, I think.
