Agreed I am 23 and find that I prefer the old fashioned comedy then the garbage on today. Back then all the adult type humor jokes were cleverly concealed with innuendo and there was no need to curse, so the whole family could watch and not have to worry.

"Im not a star." - Harvey Korman Perhaps not, but he sure was a great supporting actor.

Oh man was Korman absolutely brilliant in Blazing Saddles. Granted, one of many brilliant performances (and direction, writing, producing etc.)

You are exactly right. “Innuendo” was understood by adults and snickered at, but children were not bombarded with crassness.
I hate, and do not watch most of the current ‘humor’.

I once heard that Tim Conway and Harvey Korman would go into fabric stores and buy the most outrageous fabrics and then make them into traditional men’s suits that they would wear to their next dinner together, trying to outdo each other.

Harvey Korman was a very funny man who knew how to make people laugh -- both by himself and as half of the unbelievable Korman-Conway teamup.
There was a bizarre but oddly funny John Ritter movie called Americathon, in which Harvey played America's most popular actor, Monty Rushmore. In the movie, he played a transvestite who was the star of America's most popular TV show, "Both Mother and Father" -- classic Korman. This pill-popping, over-the-top character was the natural choice to host a telethon (with the world's worst entertainment acts) to try to prevent America from going bankrupt and being taken over by the United Heb-Rab Republic.... You have to see this movie!
My favorite Carol Burnett memory of Harvey was the episode where he and Tim Conway were galley slaves on an ancient ship -- Tim, of course, being the oldest living galley slave in the world. When it came to feeding time, the ship master threw bread to all of the slaves -- Conway couldn't reach it, so he dug his toes in and picked it up with his foot. There were practically tears coming out of Korman's eyes, he cracked up so badly.
Will miss you, Harvey.

I never watched that so don't know what part Korman played. Was HE Headley the conniver?
