I had the pleasure of taping this show from TV years ago. I pop it in my VCR about once a year to get a really good laugh.

It's wonderful to see some of the big names from back in those days. But what I really enjoy the most is the laughs. You don't get shows like that anymore. And I mean that seriously. (They) = Producers/Writers would do well to go after the older generation who stay at home and watch TV rather than go after fluff/sex/violence/drugs to try to entertain the 12 - 24 age group. Producers out there - are you listening? No I'm not 80 years old. I'm 44 and I sure do miss variety shows like this. Examples: Carol Burnett, Red Skeleton, Laugh In, Hee Haw, Sonny & Cher, Ed Sullivan.

And it says something when a 44 year old remembers the shows named above. Would mean that I was in the 12 - 24 age group when I was watching those shows.

Times sure have changed.
