Still Laugh-In: The Stars celebrate (Netflix) - Greg - 05-28-2019

Oh, boy. I loved Laugh-In as a kid. At least I think I did. So, when this popped up on Netflix I thought it was a great chance to revisit it. Well, if they had just spend the hour showing the best clips from the show, I would have enjoyed it much more. 

Instead, C-Level stars of today spent the majority of the show putting their own spin on classic Laugh-In bits. They tried desperately to be funny and fell far short of the mark. And if they weren't shuffling towards humor, they were hitting me over the head with unsubtle political comedy. We get it. Trump is a terrible president.

I'm trying to remember some bits that were even a tad funny, but I can't.

The original show is on either Netflix or Amazon streaming (I can’t tell the apart). I watched the first show and it was surprisingly edgy, given the time. Some aspects didn’t age well, but it was mostly enjoyable.

That was a show I wanted to watch, but my parents hated it. We sometimes saw the hillbilly version (Hee Haw).
