Smothers Brothers Uncensored
From the start of the aborted three-year run of "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour," Tom and Dick Smothers wrangled with CBS censors. In the end, CBS fired them, but that only made the boys cultural martyrs and reinforced their mission statement.
On 'The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour: The Best of Season 3' you can choose either to see each of 11 episodes as it was originally aired or to view the stuff the censors blocked...
DVD available HERE
At last month's Emmy Awards, Tommy Smothers accepted a belated trophy for his contributions to the writing team that won the 1968 writing award for the show's final season; Smothers left his name off at the time, fearing the inclusion would draw controversy.
