Dick was married to a Playboy Playmate/Bunny (Dolly Martin) twice. That's living...And most likely losing, when he wrote the alimony checks.

Brings back many memories. I was just getting out of the Army when this program hit the airwaves.
RIP Dick, and Goodnight.

If you're old enough to remember Laugh-In......you're as old as me.I was just a kid - but I remember. Even my folks liked it enough to let me watch it - as strict as they were. I think they knew then that shows like his would help America survive the 60's. "'Night, Dick."
To: Travis McGee
"Laugh In" was a wonderful break from the miserable news cycles of the late 60's. Plus it was really funny. Rather tame by today's standards, it hit the sweet spot of the times. Sad to read of Dick's passing.

Gee, maybe that's why he remarried her after a few years of divorce. They were still married when he died.

I had no working TV to watch when the series began. Everybody was quoting lines and jokes from the show. I didn’t know what they were talking about. I think it was too edgy for prime time at that time. In retrospect, much of the show wasn’t really all that funny. I think Dick Martin’s directing deserved more respect than Laugh-In.
To: Coleus
I was barely ten when it came on...and there wasn’t a single comedy on the three networks that could touch it. But they were out...far, far, on the branch in terms of risks. A lot of the jokes were very liberal for the times. For the first two years...I never missed an episode. There are two interesting aspects to the show, if you browse around today. first...the list of stars on appeared on the show reads like a who’s who of comedy, with two hundred of biggest names in comedy in the late 60’s. Second...if you gaze at the writing staff...you see a group of young folks who all come up in the 1970s and for many shows and even became producers.
