"Look it up in your Funk & Wagnalls" was one of the catchphrases they used on Laugh-In.
   -You see, because Flip Wilson and Moms Mabley were black.
   -You see, because Alice Ghostley was homely
   -You see, because Yul Brynner was bald.
These are all jokes they wouldn't do now.
The two children were named Jonathan and Candy. The dog was named Scruffy.
