I think I might be the only person in my entire demographic who can't stand Scooby Doo.
cleome, I don't know many demographic points you and I share, but I've never been a Scooby fan either. Ain't nobody here but us spring chickens, LT! [kicks Ensureā¢ can and Modern Maturity lapel pin under the table] The only HB cartoons I ever really liked were the ones with Dick Dastardly and Mutley. The only upside of my occasional severe bronchitis attacks were that they allowed me to duplicate Mutley's laugh.

It then evolved into a showcase for Hanna-Barbera's other characters as well as some contemporary celebrities (of whom I think only Cher, Sandy Duncan and Dick Van Dyke are still living).
Some celeb guests were even dead at the time! (See Laurel and Hardy, for example).

True enough. It's a little creepy to see an animated Cass Elliot on her episode, made not even two years before her untimely death. I wish she had lived long enough to become a nostalgia act.

I didn't even know any of the real-life persons who guest-starred, except for the Three Stooges.
Dyno-Mutt was dumb, but he and Scooby-Doo were lovable somehow. Scooby-Dum was just irritating.

It's not true that women don't like the Three Stooges. I love the Three Stooges, and so does my mother.

I confess to not being all that familiar with them. I only remember watching them as part of the Scooby-Doo movies. I was at an age where my entertainment should be animation, or none at all.

I've never been a particular fan of the Stooges, but they do have a very loyal following. As a kid in Massachusetts, I remember one of the local channels, WSBK, channel 38, played them every day. I read somewhere that WSBK's devotion to the Stooges helped revive their popularity.

I find that a little of The Three Stooges goes a long, long way.
I can still remember at least half the lyrics from "The Curly Shuffle," however.

I've never really cared for the Stooges, myself. Love the Marx Brothers, like Abbot and Costello, like Laurel and Hardy, but the Stooges I could pretty much do without.

I agree with your list, Eryk. As I stated a few pages back, I always thought Zeppo Marx was overlooked and underrated.

And I'll third the sentiment. Zeppo was wonderful.
True story: during their stage days, Zeppo stood in for a hospitalized Groucho. Zeppo appreciated getting the laughs, but he also got sick from Groucho's cigars.

With the occasional exception of skits like "Who's on first," I didn't care for the vaudeville type acts, yet I liked Martin and Lewis. Odd. I also like Rowen and Martin, not so odd.

I prefer Filipino humor myself. There's a popular comic strip called Pugad Baboy which is highly satirical in nature, and is brimming with (for lack of a better term) teasing and oneupmanship. I'd share it with you, but the jokes don't translate well into English. But I'll share with y'all anyway Pugad Baboy on wikipedia Pugad Baboy on Internet news site Rappler

Although I love much about American humor, I think I'll always prefer the dryness and wit of British humour (spelt with a "U", of course).

Most comedies I enjoy are British as well. My all time favourite is still Red Dwarf

I recently finished showing The Boyfriend the entire run of Keeping Up Appearances. Now we're working on The Vicar of Dibley. I have their entire runs as well as Monty Python's Flying Circus and The Koomars at Number 42 on DVD. I have about half of Red Dwarf. I also have the entire run of the 1970s Tomorrow People.

I have heard good things about Monty Python myself, and many from friends over here too.

I'm sure you can find them easily enough. When we all finally meet up, I'll expect you to know all the words to the "Lumberjack Song".

Something else else tells me you won't need it. I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay. I sleep all night and I work all day.
