Hello Dr. What;

 DW> Laugh-In was VERY timely.

Many shows of that era were. I suppose that's what made them so classic.

Most of the political jokes as you say I didn't get as a kid but I do get most
of them now. Another show which was like that was the old Rocky & Bullwinkle
toons! The lines were one right after another after another... most of which
as a kid I didn't quite understand but if I can catch an episode here and
there the humor was almost overkill... and that was animated!

 DW> What I find interesting is that when they were first broadcast, they
 DW> were offensive to the "right".  Today they are offensive to the "left".

I actually thought they were fairly decent at being pretty neutral all things
considered for the era.
