Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In turned out to be one of the most successful mid-season replacements, ranking right up there with All in the Family and it was just as controversial. This Ground-breaking variety show that gave us such memorable sayings like "very interesting", "ring my chimes", "look that up in your Funk and Wagnalls," "sock it to me," "Is that another Chicken Joke?," "You bet your Sweet Bippy," "Here Comes The Judge!," "It's Time to Say Goodnight Dick," as well as many others, proved to be unlike any variety show that ever graced television. Hosted by Dan Rowan and Dick Martin, this unique variety show was a fast moving barage of jokes, one-liners, running skits, musical numbers as well as making fun of social and political issues of the late 1960's. It was the group of regulars, particularly those from 1968-1970, made it one of the most memorable television series ever.

Actors and Others for Animals was founded in 1971 to promote the humane treatment of animals and to improve their quality of life while fostering an awareness and appreciation of the importance they have in our lives. Then as now, celebrity members volunteer to use their media appeal to help educate and shape public awareness about animals in crisis. A&O is a broad-based community action group serving five So. Calif. Counties. Services are available to low and/or fixed income
individuals, with an emphasis on the elderly poor and/or handicapped. Passionately believing that pet overpopulation is the greatest breeder of animal cruelty because it sanctions and promotes the unacceptable idea that animals are disposable objects, A&O's core mission is to prevent unwanted births through sterilization. A&O offers financial help to those who qualify and is the leading humane organization in the So. California area providing financial assistance. Other A&O programs provide financial assistance for emergency medical procedures; increase public awareness of responsible pet care through humane education; provide resource information regarding feral cat care; and provide pet assisted therapy to patients in long-term care facilities.
