So now we have the sixth and final episode of the Laugh-In revival that starred Robin Williams, Sergio Aragonés, Wayland Flowers, Ed Bluestone, Lenny Shultz and a lot of other folks who probably deserved more attention than this series brought them. Some of the writing on this show was pretty good and some of the performers were pretty good. I think the problems were (a) the lack of a host or hosts and (b) there was something kinda stale about trying to revive a format that had worn out its welcome just four years earlier.
The original Laugh-In was successful because it was new. There wasn't enough new about the new Laugh-In but there were some very clever and funny moments in there…
