| Summary: | The 60's gave us "in crowds," "be-ins" and "love-in," and starting in 1968, the happening place for free-form comedy was Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In, broadcast from beautiful downtown Burbank. Straight man Dan Rowan and wisecracking co-host Dick Martin led a gaggle of goofballs through a rapid-fire assault of one-liners, skits, bits and non sequiturs that left viewers in hysterics and disbelief. Anything and anyone in the public eye was a target. Political correctness? Forget it! The groundbreaking, Emmy Award-winning show anchored the Monday 8 p.m. time slot on NBC until March 12, 1973. In this second season: Wait a minute! That's Richard Nixon asking the rhetorical question, "Sock it to me?" No boxing glove response this time, yet his appearance in Season 2 likely helped him win the presidency in November 1968. Pigmeat Markham, reclaiming his "Here Comes the Judge" routine, dispenses justice with a large rubber gavel to the noggin for emphasis. |
