the building, both inside and out, is nice and fresh and colorful...the concept is terrific; however, I found it quite disgusting to walk in and once thru the turnstile, there was a huge display of George Carlin; and no way, if children with you, could you avoid that!!! I found many creative uses of media to discuss comedy; however, some of the easiest ways to start off and tell the history of early comedy, was on a huge wall encompassing poster; which started out so high, that on tiptoes and being 5'6" tall, I could NOT read what was on the upper half or so of what appeared to be a great history of early comedy..it looked good! Very little about legends of comedy: Bob Hope had little said; Lucille Ball(of course she has her own museum in town; none the less, little said about her ); a costume of Carol Burnett(ah, and a photo of her with Lucy); photos of Sid Caesar and one of Red Skelton; I did not see Milton Berle; nothing of Jackie Gleason; and on and on like that...(don't get me wrong, I really didn't like many of them; but none the less, please showcase them!); in essence, mostly comedians of the last 20 years or so..well, SNL is 40 years old and they had a nice video montage of that...surprisingly not a lot of displays like at Grand Old Opry /Country music hall of fame or Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...nice display about how comics are comedy...that was decent; cute sets like the 1950s era with couches and chairs allowing viewing of old tv shows, was a welcomed area....if one was inclined to go down a level to view rated R shows and such, there is a "Blue Room" with what I heard were somewhat risque posters and such.. There is a small cafe; and a fairly big and costly gift shop too. Parking, while free, was in a lot two or more blocks away; it was empty when we got there and totally full 3 hours later...I'd plan on at least 2 hours to see things here...and, I hope that the management adds more displays about the earlier comedians too...we 50 year olds want that!!!
