The Smothers Brothers Show
- The Smothers Brothers Show
"The Smothers Brothers Show" was a situation comedy featuring the Smothers Brothers that aired on CBS on Friday nights at 9:30 p.m. from September 17, 1965 to September 9, 1966. It lasted one season, consisting of 32 episodes.
Dick Smothers played himself as a rising young executive at Pandora Publications, working for publisher Leonard J. Costello (Roland Winters). Brother Tom had been lost at sea two years earlier and now shows up as an apprentice angel assigned to do good deeds on Earth to become a full-fledged regular angel. Of course, Tom's efforts to help people never seem to work as planned and Dick had to help him clean up the mess. Tom received his orders from Ralph, his unseen and unheard boss. The series also featured Harriet MacGibbon as Mrs. Costello and Ann Elder as Janet. As was typical of the Smothers Brothers in their later show, "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour", Dick was typically the straight man to Tom's humorous antics.
This series may have indirectly inspired the Brothers' more successful later series, "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour", in that Tom Smothers had been critical of the series as not being compatible with the brothers' strengths; for instance neither brother played their instruments on the show, and it wasn't until halfway through the season that they sung the theme song. The series was produced by Four Star Television.
