I watched a bunch of complete Carol Burnette shows. Hadn't seen most of these as an adult (I was just a kid and didn't understand half the jokes). Awesome.

I have so many fond memories of watching The Carol Burnett Show when I was very (very) young. I don't think there's ever been anything funnier on TV than Harvey Korman and Tim Conway. It's probably second only to All in the Family as my all-time favorite comedy show.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, the wife and I just finished watching the Series 6 finale of Downton Abbey. As a male person, I really feel like I enjoy that show way more than I should. :wink:

The one sketch that always cracks me up is the Nazi interrogator with his repertoire of techniques.

You probably know it...if not, watch it now!

Heh, that's good stuff. Poor Lyle Waggoner was really outclassed by the talent around him... he basically ended up being a warm body for most of the sketches. He seems like a super-nice guy, though.

Also, pretty much any sketch where Tim played the slow old man character was a winner for me.

The real payoff, of course, is the puppet. But I didn't want to ruin it. There are some clips that include just the puppet, but it is much funnier seeing the sketch build up to that point.

All of the gags in that sketch are pretty generic, except for the puppet. But, it doesn't matter how cliched the gags are, the performances make it enjoyable.

Speaking of performances....I know, Lyle is barely present in that sketch.

...

Yes, Tim did crazy physical humor. The old man defied the laws of physics. Crazy.

...

One thing I didn't know was that the show taped a "regular" version of a sketch and then, later, taped a  freer "ad-lib, if you want to" version. Conway, it seems, made it his personal goal to get the other folks to laugh.

I'm watching Falling Skies. I never saw it when it originally aired. Its pretty much The Walking Dead with aliens instead of zombies. The acting isn't quite as good though.

i only watch whats on when i sit, i NEVER schedule ANY shows. mostly catch street outlaws, parks and rec, and ancient aliens and storage wars. im ok with wasting time as long as its not scheduled.
I want to be more like 337.

Did anyone watch Last Man on Earth last night?  I thought it was pretty funny, but it's gonna take some creative writing to stretch the premise out for a long lived show.

I thought it was really good... one of the best premieres I've seen in a long time, and the soundtrack was great.

Plus, they pretty much have a blank check creatively. If the premise starts to wear thin they can easily write in other characters and stuff.

I started watching Better Call Saul recently. The first episode I found slow and uninteresting. However it did pick up for me by episode three.

I've seen them all before but I didn't realise you had a cameo in terms of endearment! Seriously though I'm doing start to finish and watching the movies and the appropriate juncture. 55 discs to go!
