Title: Classic television
Post by: ethurst2 on May 27, 2008, 04:36:05 pm
I miss the Golden Age of Hollywood. For those of you who missed it, it was definitely a time in American Entertainment in which performances were timeless and golden.

I rarely watch TV today but I came across this clip of Dean Martin and the worlds most famous drunk, Foster Brooks. I thought it was hilarious for the time that it was done (1974). You couldn't do the same skit today...it would cause controversy.

I doubt that would cause controversy now.  It seems pretty safe to me.

You know what's crazy? The Coast Guard commissioned him to do a commercial doing his routine talking about "safe boating".
