Laugh-In (TV Series) Ernest Borgnine, Arthur Godfrey, Don Rickles, John Wayne, Slappy White (1973) User Reviews

Don Rickles and John Wayne make their last appearances of "Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In" in this ep

[tavm · 7/10 · 4 March 2020]

Besides Rickles and Wayne, this ep also has Arthur Godfrey, Slappy White, and Ernest Borgnine as guest stars with Borgnine playing Dr. Watson in sketches with Dennis Allen as Sherlock Holmes. The Cocktail Party takes place in an airplane this time with Lisa Farringer among the cast participating as she usually does solo pieces with her saying "Whoopee!" constantly which she also does here. Besides Lily Tomlin, Willie Tyler and Lester as well as Sarah Kennedy are also absent here. In summary, this was another entertaining ep of "Laugh-In". Oh, and there's another "Robot Theater" segment with Dennis and Ruth Buzzi that's a little better than their last one...

Better than average for the sixth season

[tforbes-2 · 9/10 · 27 March 2017]

Casting, plus a cool dance sequence on an airliner set, makes this episode a standout after a string of routine episodes.

While Ernest Borgnine is the name guest star, John Wayne makes a welcome appearance here, as do Don Rickles, Arthur Godfrey and Slappy White. Mr. Borgnine shows a fine range by playing Dr. Watson!

And speaking of the dance sequence, the cheerleaders make a welcome appearance as well.

A fine entry for a series approaching its end.
