When things on TV were really funny

Was that the show with one skit of Lily Tomlin dressed up like a little girl in a huge rocking chair? One of my earliest memories of television.

Yep. "And That's the Truth, pllllllllthhh.". She was also the telephone operator.

lmao. Tim Conway was the best. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=676573642801412

No one will ever be as good as Johnny Carson

My entire family has restarted the Andy Griffith show for the umpteenth time and playing dominoes after dinner/before bed. I need another easily accessible show to introduce them to. What am I forgetting? What show is family friendly, wholesome….but great entertainment that I’m not thinking of from years past? I’m not a Waltons guy, or Leave it to Beaver. Where can I find Bonanza?

Original Dennis the Menace would be good, if you can find them somewhere to stream.

Seems like they have a couple bonanza on….which is good, but way more gunsmoke. I never got into gunsmoke. Is it good?

Petticoat junction, Real McCoy's. Green acres. See em when I'm flipping channels. Bonanza, gunsmoke, wagon train are all on DirecTV.

Hell yes, but not geared for kids.

I miss good variety shows. Clips like this were the norm, back when TV was funny. So many great shows in the good ol' days.

Foster Brooks is from Louisville. His brother, Catus, co-hosted a show called T-Bar-V. Me and a couple buddies got on that show when we were in single digits age wise.

I think my kids would be fine with an older production “adult” film. They loved Lonesome Dove….but I did have to fast forward a couple “poke” scenes. I don’t care about violence or language. Only sex to be completely honest.
