I've been told, that I was quite "taken" i.e., amused with TV humor examples from the 1970s: Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, The Pink Panther Saturday morning Cartoon, and the several sitcoms of situations stemming from miscommunications brought laughs.
Other examples "off the top of my head" included humor stemming from irony, slapstick, and some versions of British humor.
------------------
I really enjoyed how All in the Family i.e., the Archie Bunker character so thoughtfully blended humor with controversial issues.
And yes, it was only the humor of 'Gilligan's Island' that made the series a favored source of laughs.
Many of the examples of shows were done in variety-show formats; the clips ranging from less than half-a-minute to a long few minutes in length. Of course, the sitcoms were done half-hour formats (counting the commercials).
---------------------
The later examples of humor came from the 1990s sitcom 'Home-Improvement' - the philosophical neighbor Wilson played such an awesome part to the series. The Al character, and Taylor family, friends, and relatives also played important roles. It was an ongoing joke in the series to treat the Tim character as a second rate character.
The more recent examples of humor came from shows involving characters living such dysfunctional, foolish, and risky lives to a point of being hilarious. The show 'Weeds' and HBO's 'Silicon Valley' are examples. With these shows, the first two to three seasons are the best. The later seasons proved disappointing in scope, let alone laughs.

Can it be said that people on the Autism Spectrum are some of the biggest-fans of the decades-old favorites -- now available on DVDs, Youtube?
