**** Martin

[JB]

While we are mourning passed funny men let's not forget **** Martin who passed this past weekend.

He and partner Dan Rowan (Laugh In) revolutionized TV comedy. Laugh In crammed more jokes and gags into less time than anyone and always had me in tears.

They made "Sockittome" and "Here come da judge" part of the American language in the 70s, and introduced several comedy stars, like Goldie.

Re: **** Martin

I enjoyed that show and when you see still shots of it now I realize how young everyone was..... and oh..... the clothes!!

We have lost many of the good clean comics.... many of the stand up comics today could not compete in the world of clean humor.

Re: **** Martin

Yeah, Rowan and Martin were comedic genius to me as well. Easily my favorite show back then.
Add to that list the Smothers Brothers, I'm still trying to catch their act in Vegas, I better hurry.
