NIAGARA FALLS!

Someone had to say it.

I was just thinking back and laughing about some real comedy that was always clean.

Jack Benny, Little Rascals, Laurel and Hardy, Abbott and Costello, Three Stooges, I Love Lucy, The Honeymooners, etc. I even remember many silent artists who were hilarious. They were able to make it funny without any sound at all, so it makes you wonder why they think that comedy needs to be dirty and have foul language today.

Yes..and I love Abbott and Costello...I would watch the old shows all the time...I would laugh so hard...Niagra Falls...If there is ever a remake it would never be the same...

Thats because it was good clean comedy (fun). If that was remade, there would be cussing, and foul language. Cry

Cause thats about the only thing, most people understand today. Cry

I love to laugh but won't watch the "off color" comedians. I guess they are speaking what's in their own hearts. One time I saw a Middle Eastern (Muslim) comedian on a late night show. He was really, really funny and he kept all of the material clean. One joke he did was about stereotyping....that now a car maker was using Asians (usually known to be bad drivers, at least in L.A.!) to say their car is safe....but he said you wouldn't see United Airlines using a Middle Eastern pilot saying "Fly the Friendly Skies!". (He used a Middle Eastern accent while saying this and it was so funny.)

Most of the comedy shows today are pretty dumb so I don't watch those either. (I'm watching the game shows, talent shows, etc).

I haven't watched much TV in many years. I see the news and weather and that's usually about it.

I usually watch American Inventor. Also, I love The Next Best Thing and America's Got Talent. If any of you are interested in some entertaining shows, try the last two especially. Maryjane, I know you are watching, too, from our posts under "The Next Best Thing".
