1971 - The Funny Side

[TheTubePortal]

Wow he was a good dancer for an old man.

[14DaveHunter]

Great seeing an early singing version of Kaptain Kool. Michael Lembeck is a great real life singer, so his off-key, about Ralph Nader, was parody.

[snoops71]

This reminds of me "Laugh-In." I always enjoy watching things from '71, my birth year.

[dpman72]

Cindy was sexy in the day

[vk92007]

Should upload all the episodes from 'The Funny Side'. The series ran for one season but the genius of Gene Kelly made it most watchable.

[DorisDayFanatic]

Cindy Williams and Kaptain Kool singing a song about Ralph Nader in matching camouflage pants. Priceless. XD I love it. <3

And Queenie has some sweet purple hair. It matches Burt's tie.

[wraith13]

Yeah..Teasrea Grave left Laugh in for this show...but at least she rebounded with Get Christie Love....Bert and Queenie were the actually a married couple

[driver3464]

@wraith13 Get Christe Love was a flop as well, with good reason.

[wraith13]

@driver3464 Get Christie Love flopped because of Ms Graves Jehovesswitness reliegion

[strawberrycrazy1]

lovin the outfits!!! XD

Two 90-year old actors doing disco moves on a 10-foot high platform? I'm sure the network lawyers were sleeping VERY comfortably during this series' run...

[JubalCalif]

I recall seeing a few episodes of this short-lived early 70's NBC show....sort of a musical-comedy series. Wow...fascinating to see Cindy Williams before her "Laverne & Shirley" days. And I recall Warren Berlinger from a few 1950's movies. And who can forget every woman's wet dream: sexy Burt Mustin! Probaby few people today remember this show....certainly an odd premise...even for back then! THANKS for sharing it with us! And HAPPY HOLIDAYS to you & yours! :)

what does this have to do with danny?

[sugarbaire]

Does anyone have any other episodes of this show>

[jbdanfan]

It may not be totally free, but watching Gene dance is one of the best things in life:)

[dgniewek]

For me, too!

[DaveDeShrubber]

Burt Mustin was one of my earliest role models.

[wraith13]

this was the show Teresa Graves left laugh in for ...big mistake there. At lease John amos scored with 'Good Times" afterwards.

[whotookaegir]

Wow, I can see why they would've canceled this. Cindy Williams looks so cute, though, and that song about Ralph Nader is ridiculous.

[TSapkaroski]

I think Michael Lembeck is cute!

[mattkilleen]

Interesting fact - Dick Clair (0:46) was cryogenically frozen in the 1980's.

[joebradio]

maybe ol Ralphie boy could drag out that supportive song from Lembeck and Williams to use in his presidential campaign.

[angelflowerbaby]

Cindy william's birthday is tommorow she was born on August 22.

[YouDummy]

Shirley Feeney & Kaptain Kool!

[TerryT1976]

It's great to see future characters from the actors in this show: Kaptain Kool singing with Shirley Feeney and James Evans Sr with Christie Love, if you get the picture, LOL!

[johnstar35]

Burt Mustin is the old timer who tells Bobby Brady that his "hero," Jesse James, is nothing but a "mean dirty killer." And then Bobby has bad dreams.  Love character actors. Michael Lembeck was Julie's husband on One Day At a Time, and of course, Cindy Williams went on to Shirley Feeney fame.

[MikeH0714]

I LOVED THIS SHOW!!! I audiotaped this episode when it first aired!!! Where can I get the whole thing?

[stephanie1977]

Why is the old man so familiar?

[Aleal]

The old man is Burt Mustin, who did tons of TV work. He was Gus the fireman on "Leave it to Beaver," how I best remember him, but was also an elderly Mayberry citizen on "The Andy Griffith Show," Arthur Lanson (the old man who married Mother Dexter) on "Phyllis," Jack Benny's vault guard in a few TV appearances, bits in movies from "Cat Ballou" and "Detective Story" to "Herbie Rides Again," and much more. So you've probably seen him somewhere.

[stephanie1977]

It's mainly Andy Griffith, but you are right, he has been on anything and everything! He's a great one!
