For a guy my age the times seemed a lot worse then they do now, but, I suspect it is all relative to your place in life. All the GI's have to watch now are reality shows and believe me they have enough reality. They need some escape. Laugh-In was that escape for us." Very well put.

I think you just had to be living through the times to "get it". It was random, even to us. And that was the beauty of it. :) Dick Martin: How about coming up to my place? Girl: Are you going to try anything fresh? Dick Martin: Nope. Same old stuff.
