Goofball. Wise-cracking. Groundbreaking. — This is ROWAN & MARTIN?S LAUGH-IN: THE COMPLETE THIRD SEASON — The cast album Laugh-In ?69 has been released and cash registers are ringing, so NBC can afford an impressive rost... more »er of guest stars for SEASON 3. The Fab Four?s Ringo Starr ?subs? for Peter Sellers, and three-fourths of the Pre-Fab Four, the Monkees, monkey around in an insurance scheme. Pilot Sid Caesar flies around as a ?bird seed? smuggler in Wings over Tijuana.
The 1960s gave us ?in-crowds,? ?be-ins? and ?love-ins,? and starting in 1968, the happening place for free-form comedy was ROWAN & 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.
