    I loved the skits, especially the political ones. Loved the fashion, music, everything that is totally and uniquelyy the 60's!

    Rolled on the floor laughing, literally. In love with Goldie Hawn, Thought Lily Tomlin was the funniest woman on TV. And Flip Wilson... OMG he was funny.   Probably would look pretty silly today, but it was the hippest thing on TV at the time.

    Good clean fun at the time. I was in high school when it was first aired and I looked forward to the next show. The first season was the best when it was all fresh and new. Very topical humor will not relate very well to the world today. Loved Goldie Hawn for sure.

    had it's moments. groundbreaking in a sense. wasn't a huge fan. viewed today it would be more of a distorted time capsule, rather than stand the test of time.

    This show made people understand it was ok to make fun of everything. Even Nixon understood.

    Guess you were supposed to be so stoned when you watched this, you'd laugh at ANYTHING. Very unfunny...

    Loved this show when I was a kid, but I saw it in Reruns when I was a young adult and couldn't believe how dumb it was. Great in its time but didn't age well at all.

    Never liked that show for some reason. But Goldie Hawn was hotter than hell.

    Even a child of the 80's like me can appreciate good comedy. I like this show for some reason. Some political statements people don't get nowadays, but mostly it's good, clean fun. And Goldie Hawn, Judy Carne, Lily Tomlin, Jo Anne Worley, and Pamela Rogers were so cute! Look out for that 25th anniversary special.

    This was like a super-nova. It came on the air, burned brilliantly and chewed up enormous amounts of material, and then flamed out. When it was on top, however, it had no peer.

    Started strong and got stupid real quick. By it's second season it wasn't worth watching.

    My memories of this are quite vague and I wasn't old enough to get the juicy stuff ... but by the way my parents laughed it must have been fairly well on target.

    Great for it's time, but outdated now. For example they were always making fun of Beautiful downtown Burbank. When I got sent to Burbank to work I understood the joke, because it was really rundown at the time. Of course now it's really a modern clean city.

    This show made me laugh so much when I was a kid. But it doesn't make me laugh anymore. The infomercial for the Laugh-In video is funny enough.

    This show was great for it's time. I wish they would bring it back in reruns.

    One of the classic funny shows. The operator had me on the floor laughing my head off.

    Rowan & Martin’s “Laugh-In” was the epitome of late 1960’s counter-culture comedy. Those who weren’t around back then just don’t get it. This was a show about having fun and ridiculing the government. My favorite memory of "Laugh-In" is Dan Rowan playing General BullMoose, an insipid, gung ho, general out to rain death and destruction on the commies.

    Very overrated show. I saw a tape of it recently and was impressed by how totally unfunny it was.

    This show was great fun with actors who had talent. Whether they were doing skits or imitations, it almost always made you laugh. Probably an older version of Saturday Night Live.

    What a waste of good talent! Goldie Hawn, Ruth Buzzi, and Lily Tomlin could've received MUCH better material to work with.

    Laugh in was great fun when it first aired, but reruns just dont hold up.

    This is the best classic television show *ever*! The sketches are funny, the topics on the "Mod Mod world" segments are as relevent now as they were then, and the ladies regulars on the show were so *hot*!

    My reason for thinking it was (perhaps still is) the funniest tv, it never failed to leave me laughing!

    Totally cornball, occasionally hip, mostly just plain silly. But this was a show that as I recall nearly everyone watched and sometimes rehashed the next day. There were the classic bits like the weekly “party”, Arte Johnson as the old masher chasing the dowdy Ruth Buzzi, the poetry of Henry Gibson, a young perpetually giggling Goldie Hawn, The Farkle family, Lilly Tomlin’s Edith Ann and the irritating telephone operator, and, of course, the coveted Fickle Finger of Fate award. Among other things the show gave birth to lots of buzz words and catch phrases of the day - some that have now happily disappeared into the annals of time – stuff like “you bet your bippy”, “sock it to me”, “verrrrry interesting!”, and “here come the judge”. I couldn't sit through it now, but this was really THE comedy show of the late 60’s/early 70’s and reflected quite a few of the changes taking place in the world at the time – not to mention that its goofy ensemble cast and comments on current events som...

    To me this is unsublte, mindless comedy for an extremely short attention span and I have no use it.

    I've seen one episode, but I laughed so hard that I almost fell off the couch. And it was one from the second to last season, when a lot of the familiar faces were gone. I really, really wish I got TRIO so I could catch more reruns.
