I hear they won an award tonight from 1968. About damn time.

What a great show they had. Too much truth-telling.

Here's the article about their award tonight. I missed it, hope someone gets it on video.

"Tonight, the Television Academy (“In an effort to fill time”) is giving Tommy Smothers the commemorative Emmy Outstanding Writing Achievement in Comedy Variety for The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. Smothers takes his opportunity to talk about freedom of speech and encouraging people to not be afraid to speak out."

5. As an old guy I so fondly remember going to the student union

on Sunday nights and sitting with a few hundred of my closest friends watching the Smothers Brothers on what at the time was this HUGE 27" TV.
And then one day it was gone. They stepped on too many toes.
