'Groucho' goes too far in badgering Gallo audience

With few exceptions, comedy is like milk and fruit - it doesn't age well. While people were in hysterics about Groucho Marx's double entendres, puns and faux ballet moves 75 years ago, his antics just aren't as funny today.

'Laugh' Speaks Plainly, Carries One Big Shtick

'Make 'Em Laugh: The Funny Business of America,' PBS's ambitious survey of the last century of comedy, has a can't-go-wrong approach to its subject: Roll the clips. Over its six hours, the documentary unspools goodies galore from some comic giants (and a few midgets), hopscotching from Charlie Chaplin to Cheech and Chong.

Like a polished stand-up performer, 'Laugh' maintains such a good-natured pace that boredom, and PBS-style documentary solemnity, are never options. It's a shtick machine: Bob Hope comes and goes, as does Andy Kaufman, Burns and Allen, Jackie Gleason, Laurel and Hardy, Lenny Bruce, Will Rogers, 'The Daily Show,' and on and on. Host Billy Crystal even pops up to make fun of pledge drives and public television docu-god Ken Burns.
