Haven't done in awhile, so let's try our luck with on the show from Nov 17, 1968. That was the season where CBS found an excuse to cancel the show after years of constant censorship clashes.

Tom and Dick were replaced that summer with the debut of Hee Haw, which should tell you a lot about America in 1968. Hee Haw then ran for three decades, which says a lot about the US at literally any other time since.

I was surprised the Rolling Stone article did not mention the precedent of the and . Next to that, Trump’s tantrum and his toadying staff calling some Disney flak looks petty and impotent compared to how went after the Smothers Bros.

It also reminds us how daring they were in their time, and how the power structure noticed and felt threatened. What contemporary entertainers are this threatening to the status quo?

My Wednesday : Thinking about Tom and Dick Smothers today. As an Xer, they were a part of the Johnny Carson talk show ecosystem when I was growing up, and it's interesting to see that they're still touring into their 80s.
