    Did The Smothers Brothers Show go into the 70's? [OK, I looked it up... it went from 1967-1970 - I guess it qualifies ]

    I had to go with Hee Haw. A few reasons...I use to watch it with my grandfather when I was a little girl (he died when I was 11) and because of all those on the list it's the only one I ever saw more than once

    How about "Sha Na Na"...that one I watched with my dad! We both LOVED it

    I thought Carol Burnett Show was going to win this one hands down. At least they are still in it.

    I remember shields and yarnell freaking me out as a kid, man i hated that show, part of the reason why i still to this day fear mimes.
    When I see the 2016 Reds, I see a 100 loss team and no direction.

    the Dean Martin Show should have been on that poll. It ran from 1965-74. Loved the roasts, and especially Foster Brooks.

    The Dean Martin roasts were very funny, Sonny and Cher was also pretty good sometimes, but Carol Burnett was consistently funny.

    I think Pedro might be a little too young to appreciate the Variety Show and its power, it's really more of a 60's early 70's thing.

    I'm not too young to remember its' pain.

    Actually I liked Carol Burnett when it was on.

    Momma's family has made that hard to admit.
