Comedy Central supposedly has a pretty good roast of Shatner airing. If I wasn't convinced he drowned his wife, I might watch it.

Roasts have gone WAY downhill since the days of the Dean Martin Roasts. Shatner's roast was almost all blue (bleeped), with silly and predictable jabs at George Takaei, etc.

George Goeble could run rings around what passes for "comedy" today, much less the rest of the folk on the old show.

Then, they had wit. Today they have potty mouths. Don't waste your time.
