I've seen every one at least twice ... "to the moon Alice"!
Rip you were all great entertainers.
I believe the whole set was the one apartment. Can anyone confirm?

They had the Raccoon Lodge where Ralph and Norton were members I think had Norton and Trixie's apartment. I think I recall a couple other sets but not positive.

Yep. We never watched it as kids.

Can't say I ever said to the moon to my mom.

If you did say it, it was only once...

As a kid I Love Lucy with the camera angles was much more entertaining…

Loved it too. Some of the best episodes are were Lucy dresses up as a man to spy on Ricky posing as a waiter or something

From his point of view...

To be quite honest a lot of his jokes weren't very funny. I was re-watching SNL and Carlin was on the first episode. He was pretty bad. Pretty much laid an egg.

We always thought Carlin was dope head humor.

I'm not a fan of comedians in general, so really am no judge of who is good and who isnt.

I'm a fan of comedy, and enjoyed Carlin, but never really considered him much of a "comedian", in the classic sense. He's a story teller and amusing thought-provoker, one of the greatest in modern times, at that. But comedian?

I think he was billed as a comedian for lack of another popular term for what he does, and for the fact that he was doing his thing in comedy clubs, keeping comedians hours and with comedians as company. Dave Chapelle and Dane Cook follow the same formula, but will never have the decades-long relevance that Carlin somehow managed.

I don't consider any of them to be good comedians,
not a one could ever come close to Bob Hope, the last great one.

Oh geez, you're missing out on some great stuff, if you're closing your mind after a guy who hit his prime 60-80 years ago.

Some of the best comedians, actors, singers and musicians were from 40s-60s.
