Make 'Em Laugh: PBS Series on the History of American Comedy Starts Tonight!
« on: January 14, 2009, 07:09:23 pm »
Anyone else going to watch it?  In my area, the first two episodes will be on WNED from 9:00 to 11:00 (I checked my cable guide).

Comments on the series are near the end of this article:  http://www.thestar.com/Entertainment/article/563438

I caught a bit of it last night. They a bit on Steve Martin "a wild and crazy guy!!!"
I read a biography on him last year. He's quite the thoughtful fellow, much more so than any of the characters he portrayed. His  comedy borrowed heavily on the comics of old in burlesque - joke telling, a little singing, a little music making (banjo), a little magic, a little slap stick and of course, he always wore a suit. (once he started to make a living at what he did)
