Laugh Trax

I loved this show! It was the first time I ever saw Howie Mandel, too. My friend and I couldn't wait to see it every week. We laughed so hard, tears filled our eyes. Howie Mandel was hilarious playing the not so intelligent, "this is my first time" guy. And also, the giant rooster with the rubber glove on his head. And I don't know who the blond guy was, but I'll never forget when he was doing a skit where he was documenting a parade, and at the end he said "This is (whoever), on the lookout for horse doo" and when he was a country boy and he always said in a Southern drawl, "Howdy to your face". (I still say that to my sister when I call her.) I was hoping I could find it on DVD, but my hopes are failing. Maybe someday I'll find something on it...Just like Steven Spielberg's Amazing Stories. It would be so fun to see reruns of these fantastic 80's shows.

In the early 80's this show came on in NC on Saturdays after the 20 minute workout. My husband and used to try to tape some of the skits and when I say tape I mean audio. Our favorite was Jim Staahl doing "Billy Rock". His impression of Billy Graham was right on the mark and to this day we still remember a skit that he talked about going up the river to prison because of taping "Joanie loves Chachi." It was hysterical and we can still quote it after all these years. Another skit was about Genenral Hospital and the overacting of Tony Geary and how people on soaps sit around and eat cafeteria food. It was such a great show with the shades of SNL and the great cast. I would love to be able to see these great gags again. Please put these shows on DVD. Thanks

Fun show, wish it had run longer. Syndicated, and so ran in various time slots around the country (early evenings on one of the San Francisco Bay area stations when I saw it). Mostly sketch comedy, a bit like SNL or SCTV. Voice wizard/impressionist Frank Welker was my favorite of the regular cast. Howie Mandel was also in "St. Elsewhere" at the same time, so I remember a couple jokes in the dialog about that. Current pop stars/groups would appear as guests; Haircut 100, Toni Basil, and Laura Brannigan, to name a few. Also the occasional independent short film (?) - although all I can recall was one called "Cold Cows".

I remember this TV show from 1982 and it was hysterical. I can't remember exactly what night it was on, either Friday or Saturday night but I made sure that I didn't go anywhere until I watched the show. The first time I ever saw Howie Mandel was on this show playing chicken man with his rubber glove on his head. I was in tears with the humor behind that. I also remember Jim Staahl playing refrigerator man, that was one of the funniest skits that I can remember on the show. What happened ? One minute it was on the air and the next minute it was gone. I couldn't believe that it was that short lived. Hey Jim Staahl, this was your TV show and you need to know that your fans would love this show on DVD, the entire season in one package. I have friends who never saw this show but I have mentioned it a thousand times especially when I see Howie Mandel on TV. Please make all your fans extremely happy by putting this show on DVD. I would buy quite a few for my friends and family. If I loved this show that much, I know they will too. We need to bring back the good old shows that brings out the best in us and that would be Laugh Trax.

Incredibly funny show, Mr. Fridge, Howie Mandel, Haircut 100. What more could you want?
