Trio and Nick GAS (Games & Sports) were two of the last channels that I enjoyed watching. Of course both are gone now as usual. Trio showed some great shows that nobody else would touch. Now we have our 200+ channels and nothing on any of them.

@Rawk4Life uh if that’s what you think…just remember if it wasn’t documented it never happend.
You’re wrong and I will tell you why. Physical comedy and stand up DID NOT exist before the 20th Century. The only comedy that was around before 1900 was in stage plays.

@Rawk4Life It’s older than that bubba…goes back a couple thousand years.
That was an amazing eight minutes. So much there was unbelievable! First, the guest stars! Jack Benny, Col. Sanders (?!), James Garner. James Garner looked retarded in that beard. Then the black girl hits on Garner and Artie Johnson says “right now in Birmingham they’re running a test pattern.” That was amazing.
And “Leave it to Beaver”!!! And then Lily Tomlin gets up with her legs open and the sound comes out?! Man this was really funny!
@lemonade2cold Back then, TV was shit. No South Park, Deadwood, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, and the greatest show in the history of the television medium, The Wire. TV has evolved, not devolved. Shove that Dick Clark nostalgia up your ass.

@kljMN2 The legendary comedian Dan Rowan died at age 65 on September 22nd, 1987.
107 people commented and I think only one or two of them know it’s Kirk Douglas at 2:15. He’s also Michael Douglas’s father.
Dirty Dirty DIRTY!!

I even got the joke about mustaches and socks!
Anyone got any clips on Mrs. Beasley getting hit with a bucket of water?
I absolutely loved Lily Tomlin on this show especially Mrs. Beasley who thought everything was NOT totally tasteful.
GOTCHA!
@fattoler Black Adder had it’s share of “toilet humor”. Hello Black Russian codpiece? lol
@twieneke76 Blackadder?
When did Dan Rowan pass away?
@Lester1Beck Oh please….like you’ve had a good act since Monty Python….lol
You must be 12 I am guessing? You have to be very young not to appreciate traditional slapstick humor.
Unfortunately, the toilet humor has been going on since George Carlin in the 70′s.
“In MY day, quickies were MUCH quicker…”
YOU BET YOUR SWEET BIPPY
Colonel SANDERS?
I love the scenes where JoAnne Worley sings….
