Old Time Comedy Shows...Do You Remember Them?  

Oh I Love Lucy was a classic too, and The Honeymooners..gee, they just don't have shows like that anymore, do they

No they really don't not even close!

Is that a cable show? I never remember seeing that unfortunately, but it must have been good

OMG - I can't even believe that In Living Color is considered old school! It was hilarious. Fire Marshall Bill was the funniest. That was a groundbreaking series. I don't have cable, so I guess I'll have to get the DVDs. But, I hear they bleep out a lot of the original words & some of the funnier sketches.

BET does bleep out the word meaning female dog. The DVDs have most of the musical sketches removed (like Jim Carrey impersonating Vanilla Ice) because the production company didn't want to pay for the rights to the songs. I remember watching the first two or three seasons, then I went to college in a town that didn't have a Fox affiliate, so I missed the rest of the episodes.

I miss the days of the original Saturday Night Live, as well as the 1986-1990 cast. The latter was like a rebirth of the show's original spirit.

I didn't grow up with cable so In Living Color was a savior growing up! It was soo funny and I LOVED Jim Carrey playing Fire Marshall Bill and who could make being blown up so funny! When my parents went to bed early and my brothers stayed up late is the only way I got to see it.

That was hysterical...Tim Conway was good at cracking every one up on that show...but the combo of him and Harvey Korman was priceless.

There are a number of episodes of the Carol Burnett show on YOuTube...I was trying to find the one you mentioned but couldn't find it...but I was laughing hysterically just now at some of the others...there are a few outtakes and blooper ones there too

Hehe...bet it was the Oprah Show...I caught that too..her guests were Carol Burnett, Jim Carey and gee, forget the other guys name. But yeah, that curtain dress wasn't originally in the script..

Yes it was and I forget the other guy's name as well.

Just remembered his name...Steve Carell

Wow you mentioned a lot of the old favorites I used to watch..I just found a Youtube video sketch of Clem Kadiddlehopper...it's a blooper one ...

I was born after most of those shows were originally broadcast, but I caught most of them when they were rerun on channels like Nick at Nite.

My local PBS station used to show Red Skelton and "You Bet Your Life" with Groucho Marx. One sketch I remember was when Clem Kadiddlehopper was doing a commercial for his oil business. He said, "Kadiddlehopper Oil. Here, let me spell that for ya" then he wrote "OIL" on the blackboard behind him.

Can't beat a comedian named Red (Skelton, Buttons, Foxx), but Mr. Skelton was the best!! Some of what he did was improv and he'd get to laughing so hard he could hardly finish. No one will ever take his place!

I would love to have her in my family tree as well...hehe..she was one funny woman in that show...they just don't make comedy shows like that anymore

I loved watching the Sonny and Cher show too. Hey guess what, I found a youtube video outtake of that elephant sketch of Tim Conway..so here it is...hehe

Oh great, thanks! I enjoyed watching the one with the curtains.

Gee, maybe some designer will come up with that idea and pass it off as high fashion..LOL

I like to dig out some old episodes of Rowan and Martin's Laugh In every now and then. Goldie Hawn is a legend. And Dean Martin and his comedic roasts. Haha. I loved some of the gritty stuff they used to say to each other, and it was all in good fun.

I remember that show well and Goldie Hawn is incredible. She is truly an excellent comedian. I love all of her movies but every time I watch "Private Benjamin" I loose it, she just cracks me up.

Whatever happened to Goldie Hawn anyway, you don't hear much about her, yet her daughter is getting her bit of fame now, and kind of looks like mom...Kate Hudson

I guess she is enjoying retirement. Her daughter does look so much like her.
