When I was a kid I admit I watched Carol Burnett. Now I will not watch those reruns no matter what. I always like Harvey Korman who was very funny and a good actor. At this point I can’t watch Tim Conway anymore just like I have a hard time watching certain Jerry Lewis films.

It’s almost too much watching McHale’s Navy reruns if I have to see Tim Conway too much. Things and comedy tastes change and mine did I guess.

I never watched Carol Burnett until an adult. I never liked Jerry Lewis, did enjoy Tim’s routines with Joe Flynn because of Joe Flynn, but not so much the rest of his idiotic slapstick on McHale’s Navy.

I appreciate his talent, but only rarely have watched a skit of his twice.

There really is no cmedy today. I was watching the Laugh In 5year salute (still haven’t finished it) and it was ruined by the 2019 “actors”. They can’t get to the laugh lines without using profanities, using gender (LGBGTQRMNSOP)to force you to smile, politics (as long as it denigrates Trump). No, the genius of Comedy has been lost.
