Father Knows Best
Danny Thomas Show
But the all time best were The Honeymooners, and for radio skits: The Bickersons
January 12, 2011 12:39 am at 12:39 am #731910OfcourseMemberAnything at all more current thats acceptable?
January 12, 2011 12:41 am at 12:41 am #731911aries2756ParticipantOH my, our age not only our gender is beginning to show.
January 12, 2011 1:30 am at 1:30 am #731912eclipseMemberThank you all so much!
Sac–son of Ron?
January 12, 2011 1:44 am at 1:44 am #731913oomisParticipantI am one of the (I am afraid to admit this) people who did NOT like The Honeymooners. I was deathly afraid of Ralph Kramden and his constant screaming, his bug-eyed wiln looks, and his threats to punch someone (he ALWAYS looked that way).
Today, there is virtually no such thing as a clean comedy that is totally clean. There is always some inuendo and double entendre, And that’s a pity, because Lucy made us laugh for decades and still does. In more recent years, The Nanny was a similar kind of funny lady, but there was still some inappropriate stuff, by most frum standards.
January 12, 2011 1:51 am at 1:51 am #731914bein_hasdorimParticipantJust curious would any of you like to stay in a fairly clean hotel?
January 12, 2011 2:02 am at 2:02 am #731915eclipseMemberThe Condor sounds like a dream hotel!No T.V.
January 12, 2011 2:14 am at 2:14 am #731916aries2756ParticipantOoomis, at the time these shows were made, there was a rule about “twin beds” and always keeping one foot on the floor.
January 12, 2011 4:33 am at 4:33 am #731917GabboimMember“Just curious would any of you like to stay in a fairly clean hotel?”
Good point bein_hasdorim.
January 12, 2011 5:35 am at 5:35 am #731918oomisParticipantOoomis, at the time these shows were made, there was a rule about “twin beds” and always keeping one foot on the floor.
“
Yes, and the word “pregnant” could not be used. A married woman was always either “with child” or “in a delicate condition.”
Ya know what? That was not such a bad idea. There was a certain innocence then.
January 12, 2011 6:16 am at 6:16 am #731919dunnoMemberBrian Regan is very clean.
January 12, 2011 6:50 am at 6:50 am #731921YW Moderator-80Member“mr. ed”
i think the idea was to mention ‘funny’ shows
January 12, 2011 1:43 pm at 1:43 pm #731923eclipseMemberbein hasedorim:did you mean that if it’s not 100%…?
January 12, 2011 2:00 pm at 2:00 pm #731924mikehall12382Memberthanks for edditing my post, but actually it is very funny…maybe you need to work in an office setting to appreciate it….
January 12, 2011 2:03 pm at 2:03 pm #731925mewhoParticipant3 stooges
beverly hillbillies
January 12, 2011 2:06 pm at 2:06 pm #731926mewhoParticipantmy friend said , happy days
leave it to beaver
January 12, 2011 2:30 pm at 2:30 pm #731927SacrilegeMemberEclipse
Typo on my part, its Regan not Reagan.
January 12, 2011 2:32 pm at 2:32 pm #731929always hereParticipantjust a note: David Nelson, the son of ‘Ozzie & Harriet’ passed away yesterday @ age 74. He was the last of that famous radio/tv family to go.
January 12, 2011 3:38 pm at 3:38 pm #731930mewhoParticipantput on the price is right or lets make a deal
they are both funny
January 12, 2011 4:09 pm at 4:09 pm #731931SJSinNYCMemberI’ve stayed in fairly clean hotels. I’ve stayed in rat holes. I’ve stayed in luxury hotels.
January 12, 2011 4:33 pm at 4:33 pm #731932gavra_at_workParticipantI wouldn’t call it a comedy, but I LOL many times for Srugim.
I don’t know if you would consider the Marx Bro’s clean (there is a lot of “innuendo and double entendre”), but they were (and are) funny!
January 12, 2011 4:42 pm at 4:42 pm #731933SJSinNYCMemberOh and I really love Get Smart.
January 12, 2011 5:05 pm at 5:05 pm #731934mewhoParticipantget smart is a good one….which reminds me of inspector gadget cartoons.lots of funny cartoons out there that are not in need of censorship
January 12, 2011 5:06 pm at 5:06 pm #731935gavra_at_workParticipantWould you believe that I thought GS wasn’t funny?
How about I thought it was funny, but only once in each episode?
How about it really is funny, but wasn’t sure the 86-99 relationship would pass muster?
January 12, 2011 6:40 pm at 6:40 pm #731936anon for thisParticipantMy kids like Get Smart, but it doesn’t appeal to me much.
January 12, 2011 6:43 pm at 6:43 pm #731937SacrilegeMemberIt may be a liberal interpretation of fairly but, Jim Gaffigan… OMG, hilarious.
Clean compared to the majority of Comedians today.
January 12, 2011 8:53 pm at 8:53 pm #731938Mother in IsraelMemberNot a comedy, but I loved Little House on the Prairie. About as clean as they come and SO good.
January 12, 2011 9:24 pm at 9:24 pm #731939RaisedEyebrowMemberHazel- cute/funny
Of course the 3 stooges, abbot & castello & I love lucy are the funniest from way back and of course in comparison to anything of late

“OH my, our age not only our gender is beginning to show.”
actually, not at all- this thread only represents an upbringing.
January 12, 2011 9:34 pm at 9:34 pm #731940ronrsrMemberThe Goldbergs
January 12, 2011 10:48 pm at 10:48 pm #731941A23ParticipantLittle Mosque on the Prairie is probably the only show I would let my children watch. It’s very interesting and tznius to boot.
January 13, 2011 3:17 am at 3:17 am #731942whatelseisleftMembersrugim-its clean?
i always expected not.
January 25, 2011 1:42 am at 1:42 am #731943Be HappyParticipantThank you all for contributing to this thread. I have been watching Lucy this week. I have been laughing heartily and know that Laughter is trully the best medicine. (I can vouch for that)It has eased a difficult week. Thank You.
January 25, 2011 2:51 am at 2:51 am #731944eclipseMemberyou picked the best,for sure!
January 25, 2011 6:25 am at 6:25 am #731945January 25, 2011 1:37 pm at 1:37 pm #731946eclipseMemberkapusta–re:what?
January 25, 2011 9:16 pm at 9:16 pm #731948A Woman Outside BrooklynParticipantDefinitely I Love Lucy. I didn’t watch it that often, but I seem to remember that the Cosby Show was clean. Perhaps the last sitcom where parents weren’t portrayed as morans ala Homer Simpson. There are a lot of these “classic” shows on hulu.com, we were watching Dick Van Dyke last week.
January 25, 2011 9:54 pm at 9:54 pm #731949January 25, 2011 10:15 pm at 10:15 pm #731950eclipseMemberAm I dense?
January 25, 2011 10:22 pm at 10:22 pm #731951kapustaParticipantI cant talk for you but now I’m starting to wonder if I am… I posted something and then decided to delete it…
??
January 25, 2011 10:23 pm at 10:23 pm #731952WolfishMusingsParticipantWell, no one here said this was restricted to television, so here are some of the funnier clean movies that I can come up with off the top of my head…
Arsenic and Old Lace (utterly hysterical)
It’s A Mad Mad Mad Mad World (there is one scene with a woman in a bikini, but it doesn’t last very long and is not important to the plot).
Lilo and Stitch
Bringing Up Baby
It Happened One Night (yes, despite the risque sounding title, it’s pretty clean — the worst is when Claudette Colbert shows a bit of leg.)
The Princess Bride
Singing In the Rain
The Wolf
January 25, 2011 10:23 pm at 10:23 pm #731953YW Moderator-80Memberdepends on what definition of dense you are referring to:
Density:
In topology and related areas of mathematics, a subset A of a topological space X is called dense (in X) if any point x in X belongs to A or is a limit point of A
Formally, a subset A of a topological space X is dense in X if for any point x in X, any neighborhood of x contains at least one point from A. Equivalently, A is dense in X if and only if the only closed subset of X containing A is X itself. This can also be expressed by saying that the closure of A is X, or that the interior of the complement of A is empty.
The density of a topological space X is the least cardinality of a dense subset of X.
January 25, 2011 10:29 pm at 10:29 pm #731954eclipseMemberkapusta,now I get it!
Anyone see my post about Elaine May and Mike Nichol?
I typed in comedy 1950 and that’s what came up.Pretty funny.
January 25, 2011 10:30 pm at 10:30 pm #731955☕ DaasYochid ☕Participant*kapusta*,
If you change your mind and decide not to post something while the EDIT option is still there, you can resubmit it blank.
Or, just post asking us to take it down.
January 25, 2011 10:33 pm at 10:33 pm #731956☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantThe title of this thread, as well as some of the content, begs the question: Would any of us eat in a restaurant that is “fairly kosher”? As in, most courses are “glatt”, except for one side dish which has pig in it?
