    I 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.

    Ooomis, 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.

    Brian Regan is very clean.

    i think the idea was to mention ‘funny’ shows

    just 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.

    I 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!

    Would 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?

    My kids like Get Smart, but it doesn’t appeal to me much.

    It may be a liberal interpretation of fairly but, Jim Gaffigan… OMG, hilarious.

    Clean compared to the majority of Comedians today.

    #731938

    Not a comedy, but I loved Little House on the Prairie. About as clean as they come and SO good.

    #731939

    Hazel- 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

    Little Mosque on the Prairie is probably the only show I would let my children watch. It’s very interesting and tznius to boot.

    Thank 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.

    #731948

    Definitely 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.

    Well, 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

    #731953

    depends 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.

    kapusta,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.

    #731955

    *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.

    #731956

    The 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?
