The final season of "Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In" has not been seen since the show was cancelled in 1973, mainly due to producer George Schlatter's dislike of that season. Well a few excerpts have ended up on YouTube

This..is not good. It just seems like a generic variety show, with none of the rapid fire pacing or deft comic timing of the golden years. Plus Sarah Kennedy's attempts to ape Goldie Hawn just don't work. Do you remember "Laugh-In"'s final season, and do you agree with my criticisms?

Judging by the clips, is it any wonder the show jumped the shark big time.

I wonder where the last season episodes are languishing. NBC New York? Universal City?
