A generation truly educated!! Sadly it's wasted on the young adults these days, you have to know a good deal of history to get a lot of the jokes. I just watched a 1968 episode of "Laugh In" shot before Bobby Kennedy was assassinated. I know this as there were a couple jokes about him. There was also a reasonably amusing skit that was a play-by-play done on a riot at a college. The kids now wouldn't recognize it though... The disturbances we recently had around the country pale in comparison to those of 1968.

It’s amazing how much these cartoons shape who we and our sense of humor. A lot of beat generation animators and writers were involved in the 50s and 60s creative work that I saw as a child and it definitely had an impact on my perspective, sense of humor and taste. Artist really do mold us in ways we may not even be consciously aware of.

I come from a family of 15. Im #13 and we all enjoyed watching this cartoon every time. It had us rolling as a family in laughter it was Hilarious then and still is today.

I loved this show back in the day..... ('60s) but it took me getting into the '70s to understand half the jokes!
We were young and the jokes were adult and quick. Lots of them you saw as youngsters, then when you got older, you got the jokes.
Gee.. A college fires five profess in order to spend more money on football. It's a good thing that nothing like that could ever really happen.
