For whatever reason, I don't know why, I guess the booze hasn't totally wiped out my long term memory, but I can remember alot about that very late 60s early 70s era and I do remember seeing 'Love American Style'. I actually saw an episode recently at the Museum of Television and Radio and even though I remember that it was usually three 'vignettes' that made up the show, I forgot that they ususally had a one minute skit when they came back to the show after a commercial. An example would be a hot girl finding a place to sit in a park. As she takes her jacket off to sit down, a guy comes up and supposedly playing the 'gentleman' helps her off with her coat...and then takes off with it leaving the hot girl standing there astonished, of course followed up by an outburst of uproarious canned laughter.

If you were a really young kid, like all of four or five years old back then, it was in my opinion a pretty interesting time to be getting your bearings about the world, especially if you had the TV and the radio around all the time like I did. There was so much tripped-out colorful stuff around that your little had to process like 'Laugh-In', that crazy NBC Peacock animation they would run to announce that the program was 'in living color', and all of those trippy commercials. I didn't know what to make of it, but it was pretty cool. Wouldn't trade that for anything now.
