8/10
This marked the first series ep of "Laugh-In" after the previous special with that name
11 July 2019
Warning: Spoilers
The previous special of "Laugh-In" did so well, NBC ordered it to series of which this was the premiere. Some additions include announcer Gary Owens, one-liners printed on the bottom of the screen as it passes from right to left, the eventual catch-phrase "Sock it to me", and the joke wall during the end credits. Besides the returning Barbara Feldon, other guests include Lorne Greene, Sheldon Leonard, and Flip Wilson before he got his own variety show. Also, this was the first appearance of the weird falsetto-voiced singer Tiny Tim and rock group Strawberry Alarm Clock do a music video of them vandalizing a car on the highway. A "News of the Future" segment has an item on Pres. Robert Kennedy months before his assassination. Overall, I found this another pretty amusing ep of "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In".
