It's just that you were saying it was dumb, et cetera, and I was wondering about the logic because you said you were unfamiliar with it. But later on you said you were familiar so that question isn't applicable. Well, my posture is that it had revelence in the time that it was popular. Were it to be broadcast for the first time today, it might fail in competition with the Teletubies. During the 1950s, it certainly would suffer alongside the Martin and Lewis, the Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, the Three Stooges and so on. In the 1970s though, the Firesign Theatre, Monty Python and other such groups held sway. They held sway not only because they were funny but also because much of the comedy had an underlying meaning. Some people were into that, others not at all. To each his/her own.
