It's loosely inspired by Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In a TV show that ran for 140 episodes from January 22, 1968, to March 12, 1973, on the NBC television network, according to Wikipedia. I thought it'd be fun to take a look at what was happening in the time period by taking cast member birth dates and looking up the news of the day (courtesy historyorb.com.)
Bill Berg, is Lupine Lou
Dateline: October 22
1968- Apollo 7 returns to Earth
Gearing up for the moon landing the next year.
1969- Paul McCartney denies rumors of his death
It's what you get for walking out of step on Abbey Road, and turning your back on Sgt. Pepper.
1970- Singer James Brown (37) weds Deidre Jenkins in Barnwell, South Carolina
He was a "Prisoner of Love".
1971- USSR performs nuclear test
What else is new?
1972- Oakland A's 1st championship; beat Reds, 4 games to 3 in World Series
Vida Blue, Rollie Fingers, Catfish Hunter, Reggie Jackson. Sheesh. No wonder they were winners.
