Even though I was sorta around for Laugh-In (as a baby, for the most part) I never saw it first run. I've always heard how hilarious it is, but unfortunately is seems to be one of those you hadda be there funny. It's dated and doesn't seem funny to someone not exposed to it then. I've gotten the best of CD and DVDs and, to my eyes and ears,  it's pretty terrible. Can't see how the movie, which was considered bad then, could be better now.

"There is a lot of money tied up in this film and people expect to hear a boom when something blows up, so I'll give them a boom."
