FRESH AIR WITH TERRY GROSS
February 10, 2017  | By David Bianculli  | 1 comment

NPR, Check local listings

 

I know, this isn‘t TV. But it’s related to TV – and unless I launch a website called Radio Worth Hearing (don’t hold your breath), this is as close as I get. Today on NPR’s Fresh Air with Terry Gross, the show is featuring a long 50th anniversary piece on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. It’s one of the longest and most complex pieces I’ve ever done for Fresh Air, and special thanks to my producer, Phyllis Myers, for crafting it so skillfully – and to Terry, and to executive producer Danny Miller, for suggesting and making room for it in the first place. Please listen – and Tom and Dick, happy anniversary week!

I think the Smothers Brothers have received plenty of attention over their funny,controversial show back then and beyond. CBS has evolved somewhat via Mary Tyler Moore,an early James Earle Jones detective Paris,etc. All networks have censorship challenges. CBS screwed up on a bigger level and they did lose a suit and paid up.
