Old Entertainment was shit.

[Ke1t]

Before the internet, cable, satellite, HULU, and PS5 the primary form of entertainment seemed to be variety... and it was shit. 

Imagine having to sit through this shite, waiting for the internet to be invented. 

Four Beasts and a Midget. 

Sounds terrific. 

Isn't.

 

[pocrawred]

I thought Dick Emery was marvelous. 

[The Buzzard]

Anybody remember Tommy Cooper keeling over and dying during a Sunday night variety show on tv?

[Fridge]

Home and Away granted there were a few hot birds but utter garbage

[YorkDon]

At least there wasn’t shite like TOWIE etc.

It was good honest shite back then, and no dayglo orange talentless wannabes like Gemma Collins and Rylan Clarke.

Morecambe and Wise - load of shit

[Ke1t]

Cannon and Ball were so bad I remember literally sobbing with hate at them as a kid. 

My folks thought they were hilarious, and would roar with laughter any time the mentally deficient one with the perm said his catchphrase, "Rock on, Tommy!"

Their jokes were pish, their variety act songs had no place in the modern era, and nothing about them was even mildly amusing... yet they were, at one time, probably the biggest 'comedy' act in Britain. 

It was surreal and bizarre and baffling. 

Like a fucking Twilight Zone episode.

Monty Python 

never laughed once. 
 

add in The Young Ones aswell

One of the worst things ever shown on TV. See also Dr Who.

I've met the cat boy out of Red Dwarf. John Jules or something. He was a dickhead.

The logical thing to do now would be to contact the cats agent to verify moobs shafting him.

[shut up meg]

All of the above shows look like the best things ever compared to this US pile of shite

 

[Poodler]

Is Blackadder actually funny though or is it just funny because everyone says it is? It’s like blasphemy to nae like it in Blighty 

I’ve only ever seen a couple of clips on YouTube, more than enough

First series is shit, other 3 are good although I'll add a disclaimer that I haven't watched them in about 10 year so might seemed dated.

[manboobs109]

Good old entertainment? Rising Damp, Minder, Classic Corrie (although it's getting too far on now for my liking, should start again in 84 or so)
