    Boomerang (the sister channel to Cartoon Network) is showing the old Pink Panther and Ant/Aardvark cartoons. I haven't seen those in a long time. There's lots of other retro cartoons on that network.

    Many television and movie celebrities and even politicians made cameo appearances on the Rowan & Martin's TV show. Even Richard Nixon appeared, voicing the well-known Laugh-In phrase, "Sock It To Me". Hubert Humphrey who was running against Nixon in the 1968 elections was also invited to appear but he refused.

    Lillie Tomlin became so identified with her "ditsy" telephone-operater cast character that AT&T tried to hire her to do commercials for them. She refused at that time, but in later years she would reprise her role on commercials.

    Dan Rowan was clean shaven during the first season. When the second season began, he had a mustache. A couple of seasons later, he added a beard and then later shaved it off again (but kept the mustache).

    Laugh-in was the top-rated show on the air for its first two seasons. Ironically, the show's huge success made stars out of the most popular Laugh-In cast members and they left the show to pursue other opportunities. That led to the show's eventual demise. In fact, only 4 Laugh-In cast members remained on the show for its entire run ... Dick Martin, Dan Rowan, Ruth Buzzi and Gary Owens.

    Many phrases on the TV show became commonly used in American culture. A foreigh delegate to the United Nations who thought they spoke English pretty well once asked, "I've heard this phrase, 'You bet your sweet bippy'. What's a bippy"? Other popular one-liners were "One ringy dingy, two ringy dingies ...", "Sock it to me", "Here comes da judge", "Verrrrry interesting", "Look that up in your Funk and Wagnalls" and "Beautiful Downtown Burbank".

    Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In replaced "The Man From U.N.C.L.E." on NBC Monday nights from 8:00 to 9:00 PM.

    Laugh-In was way ahead of its time. Fast, flashy, and the king of the three-word sound bites that are so popular in politics and advertising today. It was a little too much too quick at that time.

    I said it was ahead of its time: :)

    "Laugh-In Looks at the News," a parody of a network newscast (introduced by a completely un-news-like song and dance number) commenting on current events, "News of the Past" which lampooned historical events, and a segment on "News of the Future," predicting unlikely or bizarre future news stories to comic effect. (Rowan actually nailed some, mentioning "President Ronald Reagan" in a story from "1988, 20 years from now," eliciting laughter from the audience. Another prediction—that the Berlin Wall would be destroyed in 1989—likewise came true, although the followup gag that it would be "quickly replaced by a moat full of alligators" did not.) The news segment was reminiscent of NBC's earlier That Was The Week That Was and in turn was echoed a few years later by Saturday Night Live's "Weekend Update" segments.
