PROGRAM SYNOPSIS
When, in 1968, presidential nominee Richard
Nixon rhetorically queried "Sock it to me?" on
"Laugh-In," it helped to elevate him to the
White House and was named by Time Magazine as
one of the "Top
10 Presidential Pop Culture Moments." That's
just one of the many unforgettable pop culture
highlights in a transformative season full of
them. Home audiences are sure to laugh along
with
ROWAN & MARTIN'S
LAUGH-IN: THE COMPLETE SECOND SEASON
when it arrives on DVD this January, courtesy of
the TV DVD archivists at Time Life.
The '60s 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
including Goldie Hawn, Judy Carne, Ruth Buzzi,
Arte Johnson, Henry Gibson, Gary Owens, Jo Anne
Worley and Alan Sues through a rapid-fire
assault of one-liners, skits, bits and non
sequiturs that left viewers in hysterics and
disbelief. ROWAN &
MARTIN'S LAUGH-IN: THE COMPLETE SECOND SEASON
includes such classic,long-running features as
"Sock It to Me," "Cocktail Party," "The Fickle
Finger of Fate" and "Gladys and Tyrone,";
lighthearted salutes to higher education,
machines, pollution, dancing class, police, the
telephone company, the post office, and Raquel
Welch; Pigmeat Markham, reclaiming his "Here
Comes the Judge" routine, dispensing justice
with a large rubber gavel to the noggin; Tiny
Tim singing and exploring Burbank and more.
Following its boffo inaugural season, all of
Hollywood got in line to appear on TV's must-see
variety show, and THE COMPLETE SECOND SEASON
features an astounding line-up of guest stars -
some of the 20th century's most
talented performers and outsized personalities.
