When Flip Wilson came out on DVD. My mother who's in her late 50's raved about how hilarious the show was. She immediately went out and bought a copy. After sitting and watching an episode, I got up and walked out. It just wasn't funny to me. I thought maybe it was because of the generation gap, but then again I love shows like "I love Lucy" so that shouldn't be the case. Some things just don't stand up over time. Flip Wilson's show is proof of that. Even my mother admitted that she didn't find him the least bit funny anymore and hasn't watched his show since.
I completely agree with you.
