Young people’s jaws drop, when they are shown films like Airplane, Blazing Saddles, etc.

They can’t believe such films were ever allowed to be made.

Depressing.

If you have a time machine that can take you back to 1977...

I’ll stick with classic tv and movie comedy.

Some of the vintage radio stuff such as Our Miss Brooks holds up.

No it isn’t. 75 or 82, which is it? Two ages are given.

(David Zucker, 75, told PragerU that film executives were ‘destroying comedy’ because they are too afraid to upset a fraction of the population who ‘don’t have a sense of humor.’

The veteran funnyman, 82, told Fox News)

75? 82? I say, let ‘em crash!

My Tubi service has 1950s Dragnet episodes (ones with Dennis Weaver and even Leonard Nimoy in early acting roles). Great entertainment.

I’d go back, at least Real People should be around.

RP used to be on Roku.

Highway Patrol is another favorite of that era.

Dan Matthews kept the desert roads safe.

Movie magic. Time and age are adjustable to suit the needs of the production.
