From what I am told Royal Canadian Air Farce were obviously legends back in the day. They started out as a live troop that did shows then they had a radio show and put out comedy albums. I have heard my mom's albums (two of them, not sure how many they actually had) and they are dated but I can tell they are pretty funny. Their TV show was supposedly good at first but my only memories of it are of a bad show that just got worse and worse as time went on and the cast got older. The biggest problem with this show was the writing, the jokes never went beyond basic headlines of what was in the news (usually about two weeks too late at least) and then they would do the most basic joke about it that anyone could come up with or they would do a joke about a different subject that is still a basic joke but doesn't belong because it's about a totally different subject! I don't know what they were thinking, or maybe they just all got old and either comedy changed and they didn't or they just kept getting worse, but whether or not you like their performances and impressions their writing was so awful that it didn't really matter. Very very disappointing show that should have been canceled years and years before it was. It's sad really.
