When I was young my parents encouraged me to watch Marx Brothers, Three Stooges, and Abbott & Costello. These are easy things for children to watch because the physical comedy is universal.
As I got older my love for them remained, but also it gave me a love for media from any age. So long as it's done reasonably I think this sort of thing can be quite enriching.
I experienced something simmilar. Authors, comedians and actors were mostly from our or neighbouring states, and man were they brilliant. In my case it was rather a kind of comedy, that was heavily relying on spoken word, but those guys really knew their craft.
