Variety shows are moribund nowadays,but one they roamed the airwaves.

Of the shows listed, Ed Sullivan is the king but Sonny & Cher was a lot of fun.

I chose the wildcard option, a write-in Van Dyke And Company.

I never watched any of them and only ever heard of less than half of those.

Maya & Marty is an American television variety show that premiered on NBC on May 31, 2016. The series is co-hosted by comedians Maya Rudolph and Martin Short, and produced by Lorne Michaels. The show features various comedy sketches, musical performances, and celebrity guests.

You are missing the latest one Maya & Marty which was actually pretty good.

I dislike Martin Short's sense of humor so much, I gave it a total pass - didn't even try. I tried his last outing and even that was only watchable when he wasn't in those parts. Just not my cup of tea, I guess.

I picked Carol Burnett - a genuinely funny shows and great skits and characters - mostly.

Though I'm not sure it'd qualify, I thought Rowan and Martin's Laugh In was even better. The others either weren't as funny, IMO, or I didn't watch them.

"Muppet Show," of course!

No "Lawrence Welk" fans here? Not too surprising, I guess.

I voted Muppets.

We never missed the Andy Williams show when I was a kid.

My Grandma never missed a show.

Though I'm sure she missed the real meaning of this song.

We watched a lot of Lawrence Welk when I was a kid because my parents loved that show.

Behind the Cameras at HTS with Astronaut Gus Grissom:

Is anybody here old enough to have watched Your Show Of Shows when it aired? I don't remember it ever being rerun in syndication.

I am. And I have a dim memory of having seen Sid on TV ... but whether it was on Your Show Of Shows or Caesar's Hour, I couldn't tell you.

Of course, Sid, and the Smothers Brothers, and Sonny & Cher, and Carol Burnette, and the Muppets all appeared at one time or another on ...The Ed Sullivan Show!

Nice.

Thanks, Uncle Rog!!
