    It was called The World of Sid and Marty Krofft, and it was such a disappointment. My parents took me and my two younger sisters.
    It was expensive and took just an hour and a half to go through it.
    The only fun part was the one ride where you sat inside a pinball and traveled through a pinball machine pretending to bounce off the bumpers, then you looked down and saw it was all on a track.

    No actor fell farther or harder then Jerry Lewis in my young eyes. I absolutely adored him as a kid, but by the time I was a teen in the 70s I loathed him. But I still love David Landers! Lenny and the Squigtones forever!

    18:10 now we have to wonder: Has "Canned Laughter" been used for any videogames? Interesting discussion overall.

    In addition to "Spellbound", other Jerry Lewis-branded games from Hasbro included: "Double Dealer", "The Great Estate", "High Stakes", "Power Broker", "Wall Street: The World of Financial Wizardry" and "7 Card Stud"

    No team is allowed to pump in artificial noise to the stadium itself. They do add noise to the broadcast, like the guest said, and that adds ambiance to the home broadcast.

    I think that the first cartoon to use a laugh track was the Flintstones, which started in 1960. Soon after that came other Hanna-Barbera cartoon such as the Jetsons and Top Cat, also with laugh tracks. Those were out long before this Jerry Lewis cartoon.
    (And it's Red Skelton, not Skeleton.)
    Edit - Ah, you guys mention the Flintstones right after I wrote my comment.

    Another common sound effect in laugh tracks on sitcoms and cartoons was that weird creaking noise thrown in with the canned laughs.

      It's a trip how your perspective can change when you grow up. I loved the guy and all his movies in the 70s when I was 5-10 or so, but then I watched them as a teen and thought they were lame, even more so as an adult. Try watching The Nutty Professor, it's cringe-worthy bad.

      Thank you; well put. I always loathed Jerry Lewis and his brand of schtick since I was a young kid. Even as a child I never grasped how any adult found him funny, and seeing him later as an adult I feel that I was more than correct.

    Man even as a kid in the 80's I hated Jerry Lewis. He was so unfunny and his boring stupid telethon took over PBS every year for like 4 hours at a time. The only thing good about him are the parody characters he spawned.

    I'm really glad that you guys featured this cartoon. I saw it once when I was 5 or 6 in 1970, but never again until several years ago when I searched for it on CZcams to see if it was a real thing or if my demented little mind had just imagined it.
    The Beastie Boys name-check the Jerry Lewis dance in Hold It Now, Hit It as well as Posse In Effect. Supposedly there is a "long lost" Beastie's song about Lewis as well.

    You know I love you guys, but I have to part ways with you on this one. I loathed Jerry Lewis and his schtick. Immensely unfunny, extremely repetitive, the least witty of humor ever. That was as a five year old. As an adult I think he’s much more odious.
    There’s no doubt that SMC will be substantially funnier than anything Jerry Lewis ever did, but I’m only hoping at about halfway through this episode that the specter of “The Day the Clown Cried” comes up. The only thing he ever did (ever) that had a modicum of entertainment value was “The King of Comedy”, so credit where credit’s due.
    This is easily the most divisive SMC ever.

    The Glen Glenn Sound damn laughter track (One or What, then a Jaw) 1965 till early 1980 (which ran 48 seconds)!! There was also a different laugh track as well in late 1970 till around 1979 (which ran 59 seconds)!! Also a "Annn" & "Tee Hee" laugh track that was added in September 1972!! Also a "What what one" in late 1980!!
