I think I still have a Flying Fickle Finger of Fate somewhere.
#LaughIn was regular fare growing up.

Did you know there used to be Laugh-In themed restaurants?

Restaurant-ing through history · Spectacular failures: Laugh-InThe restaurants called “Laugh-In,” based on the hit Dan Rowan and Dick Martin TV show, formed a teensy blip in an enterprise that culminated with big-time gambling casinos. [1969 menu cover] Perhap…
#Netflix' #StillLaughIn is a #VeryInteresting insight into a prior time when a #LookAtTheNews had intelligent criticism and comedic skits with #WorkingClass prototypes but, more importantly, presented a narrative at odds with contemporary "#NewsMedia."
#FoxNews is the #LaughIn #NewsOfTheWorld absent any self awareness or sense of #Irony.
Here's hoping the #SmothersBrothers gets an equally entertaining documentary.
Because no one should have to eat "Cream of (s)Parakeet" soup.
Gotta credit @HunterFelt for this find: In a 'you have got to be kidding me' moment, he's found that #TurnOn, the notorious #LaughIn knockoff from ABC in 1969 that only had one episode and was literally cancelled *as that episode aired* is on YouTube. I expect it will be nothing but dated and horrible and stupid...but I must watch. This was apparently uploaded two weeks ago? The show's Wikipedia page also has it embedded so hopefully it'll stick around. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxs5ki5e8nE
@SimonJohnGreen @junesim63 oh is he from there?
