The Smothers Brothers retire

Who will drop F-bombs in front of little kids now? [/SteveElkington]

 

Officer Judy wept.

 

No one, mate! Take it all away!!! [/Elk]

 

I hope Laugh In! doesn't go off the air.

 

If you've seen The Informant! - you probably missed Tommy Smothers (the blond one) as the head of the company Matt Damon was trying to bring down. He had one scene.

 

Tom and Dick were both in "The Informant."

And were important in the history of TV comedy, even though you wouldn't know it by the ignorance on this thread.

Don't mistake indifference for ignorance.

 

You are correct sir. Dick was the judge.

Hard to believe they were as controversial as they were deemed at the time.

 

Obviously they haven't been relevant in years, but in the 60s their variety show was must-see TV. Not only did they take on CBS, they were constant critics of the Vietnam war, which was a popular position to take in those days. I'm with IJAG, always liked them.

 

I woke up to Laugh-In reruns when they were on Trio (RIP) a few years back.

 

Wishful thinking.
