    I loved their show and was disappointed when they got fired over the material presented on their show. It was stupid and ridiculous because everyone has the right to their own opinion and back then even the "MAN FROM UNCLE" show got terminated over a special episode that the President Nixon didn't like? Can you imagine the audacity of that man? So not only "The Smothers Brother got canned so did "MAN FROM UNCLE" A spy show.

    My parents let me stay up to watch their series when I was 11 YO. They were catalysts for so many TV comedians and shows that followed. No Laugh In or SNL without them. They performed a clean, legal, funny challenge of the goverment and society as gentleman - always. The sneaky way they slammed the cancellation of Lou Grant. They were lovable.

    Laugh-In ran at the same time, and beat them at the Emmys. Two different styles of political satire. Also two different styles of show: TSB was a variety show, Laugh-In was skit comedy. As for SNL, their Genesis came from improv and National Lampoon, and the general counter-culture comedy that had been fermenting and formenting since Lenny Bruce (and MAD Magazine).

    Tommy's deft and subtle joke (which some in the audience get) about appearing on Lou Grant refers to the brothers' show cancellation at the end of the 60's for political reasons. It is strongly suspected that Lou Grant was canceled for same, owing to the outspokenness of Ed Asner.

    I liked the Smuthered Brothers. They were nearly the best ever. Seriously. They are probably close to being near the top five hundred funniet brothers of all time in the last 100 years. They played instruments and told jokes and wore the same outfits and smiled a lot. That's a rarity only done at theme parks with stages on a thrice daily show or at Renaissance Festivals. Yes the Smurfed Brudders are very amusing. 😊
