Contest Time! Win Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In: The Complete First Season on DVD! The Classic Series Is Out Sept. 5!
As you all know, I love classic TV and there’s no more classic than Laugh-In. It is one of the best shows to ever hit the airwaves and introduced the world to Goldie Hawn which I appreciate very much! I love me some Goldie Hawn!
The series it self is quite simply one of the many milestones of television history. Thanks to our awesome friends at Time Life we have three copies of The Complete First Season to giveaway! How awesome is that???
Although “Saturday Night Live,” “MADtv” and other sketch shows have captured some of the flavor of “Laugh-In,” no other comedy show has matched it in terms of its hyper-speed outrageousness and offbeat sensibility.
— The Los Angeles Times
“The frenetic, chaotic comedy still earns laughs 50 years later…
it’s a wonderful time capsule of the era”
— DVD Talk
From 1968 to 1973, anarchy reigned supreme on NBC,
and network television was never quite the same
— Winston-Salem Journal

INAUGURAL SEASON DVD SET
ROWAN & MARTIN’S LAUGH-IN:
THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON
Street Date: September 5, 2017

The ’60s gave us “in-crowds,” “be-ins” and “love-ins,” and starting in 1968, the happening place for free-form comedy was Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In, broadcast from beautiful downtown Burbank. Straight man Dan Rowan and wisecracking co-host Dick Martin led a gaggle of goofballs through a rapid-fire assault of one-liners, skits, bits and non sequiturs that left viewers in hysterics and disbelief. Anything and anyone in the public eye was a target. Political correctness? Forget it! The off-the-wall groundbreaking, Emmy Award-winning show would go on to anchor the Monday 8 p.m. time slot on NBC until March 12, 1973, transforming both pop culture and the medium of television.
Following the acclaimed release of LAUGH-IN: THE COMPLETE SERIES (available exclusively through TimeLife.com/Laugh-In), the TV-DVD archivists at Time Life are making ROWAN & MARTIN’S LAUGH-IN: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON available for classic TV aficionados
and comedy lovers alike. Comprised of 4 DVDs and 14 complete episodes – 64% of which have never before been available at retail — the star-studded set delivers audiences to the beginning of the landmark series which became an instant classic and one of the most popular shows in the history of television.
Flip Wilson as Adam (now residing outside of the Garden of Eden); Tim Conway and Cher as John Smith and Pocahontas; a silent salute to presidential candidate George Wallace; a Mod, Mod World look at the Olympics — these are just a few of the zaniest things crammed into Season 1. Also making their appearances for the first time: Goldie Hawn’s giggly blonde, Judy Carne’s “Sock-It-To-Me” girl, Jo Anne Worley’s anti-chicken-joke militant, Ruth Buzzi’s perpetually-frustrated spinster and Arte Johnson’s “verrry interesting” German soldier. The biggest news, however, was the first national television appearance of Tiny Tim, the ukulele-toting, falsetto-singing throwback to a bygone era of American pop music. He made the rest of the cast seem normal — and Dan and Dick squirm. The show’s first season was also highlighted by long running fan favorite features including “Sock It to Me,” “Cocktail Party,” the “Joke Wall”, and the first appearance of Johnson’s elderly Tyrone F. Horneigh and Sammy Davis Jr. introducing the all-time classic sketch “Here Comes the Judge”.
ROWAN & MARTIN’S LAUGH-IN: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON includes hours of specially-produced extras, including the rare Laugh-Inpilot, an all-new interview with creator and executive producer George Schlatter, 25th Anniversary Cast Reunion Highlights and Laugh-In Bloopers.

They don’t make comedy like this anymore! Love it!
I liked the banter between Rowan and Martin!
I like goldie of coarse
I loved this show, like it was yesterday. I would enjoy watching each show
I liked the little doors that would open and a cast member would say something. I like all of it thought.
Goldie Hawn, one of my favorites. But they were all awesome!
Goldie Hawn was always my favorite. I remember sitting together with my family watching it.
My favorite thing about Laugh-In was the fact that you never knew what was going to happen next, but it was always laugh-out-loud funny. Thank you for the chance to win.
Ha hA lol nothing like timeless comedy 😉
The openings by Rowan and Martin were always funny!
There’s nothing I DON’T like about this show! I always like the cocktail party scene, and Arti Johnson and Ruth Buzzi as the old folks! Thanks.
I like Goldie Hawn.
I think that the skits are funny.
It reminds me of my mother who passed away years ago..She watched it all the time
Goldie Hawn was my favorite.
I watched as a kid and it always cracked me up!
This show was before my time, so, unfortunately, I can’t say I have a favorite thing about it since I’ve never had the privilege of seeing any episodes of it. However, I really would like to see episodes of it, which is why I would like to win the first season of it on DVD so badly. I think I will really enjoy finally being able to watch episodes of what was such an immensely popular show from back in the day, especially since I could really use a good laugh these days. Thanks for the fantastic opportunity to win!
My favorite thing about Laugh-In is that it is on Decades daily in the later afternoons.
