DVD Reviews of The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour: The Best of Season 2
DVD Review: FIVE STARS ALL THE WAY!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a GREAT collection! Most people believe Season Three is the topper but Season Two has many, many great routines, guests and skits! We finally get to see Leigh French doing her most famous character in the segments of "Share A Little Tea With Goldie."
One of the fun parts of watching the SmoBro Shows is the looseness; they may stumble through an intro but, instead of doing another take, they laff and make fun of themselves. During a scene with Mama Cass, Dickie announces a Q&A period; Tommy says "no, we're not gonna do that now" then you see (but don't hear) Dickie say to Tommy "why aren't we doing it?" and Tommy answers...it's this type of looseness that gives another boost to the show...they leave moments like these in rather than re-shoot.
The interviews are plentiful and insightful. I especially enjoyed the interview with Pete Seeger who gives us a little more insight on his media blacklisting. There is also a gallery showing letters from viewers who protested the upcoming episode with Pete Seeger, calling him "anti-American" in almost every one...they usually start out the same: "I am writing in protest," which makes it apparent there was some dunderhead that started a "Ban Pete Seeger" campaign and his followers followed orders...it's SO friggin' obvious. It amazes me how someone (Seeger) who was against war and for peace could be labeled "anti-American". It shows how manipulated some of our own countrymen were in the 60's. Other interviews include Don Rickles, Leigh French, Glen Campbell, Mason Williams, Nancy Wilson, a very funny one from Pat Paulsen and background info on the episodes by Tom & Dick themselves.
Wonderful color and great guests (Don Rickles, Jimmy Durante, Bette Davis, Janet Leigh, Rowan & Martin, Don Knotts, Nanette Fabray, Mickey Rooney, George Segal, Mel Torme and many others).
The rock guests include The Who (yup, the famous clip!), Paul Revere & The Raiders, The Byrds, The Association, The Temptations and Janis Ian (who is also interviewed).
The clip of Tommy finally receiving an Emmy for comedy writing (from the 2008 Emmy Awards) is great; especially when the camera shows Dickie in the audience - you can see on his face how PROUD he is of his brother. These Bros truly love each other, unlike many other "family" acts who squabble continuously over the years.
All these shows were during the hotbed we called the Vietnam war and the SmoBros made us laugh while they ripped apart The Establishment, The Man and The Great Society. This is a priceless set that any TV aficionado (and comedy fan) should have. Even though these are labeled as "Best of" and not complete seasons, that doesn't mean they won't release the other episodes in the future. You really shouldn't pass up the chance to get any sets of "The Smothers Comedy Brothers Hour."
P.S. I never realized Patty Duke had such a great bod! WOW!
Description of The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour: The Best of Season 2
After the critical acclaim and retail success of Season 3, Tom and Dick are back with Season 2. (Remember, we're going backwards--we started with Season 3 and are working our way back to Season 1!) And, as with the first release, every moment in this 3-DVD set has been handpicked by Tom and Dick Smothers! The set's pièce de résistance is the famous Who performance of My Generation, during which the band destroys all their instruments--and then proceeds to smash Tom Smothers' acoustic guitar!Bestsellers in DVD
