Dangerously Funny

I’m so glad KissChronicles posted her review of Dangerously Funny — if she hadn’t, I may never have read it and that would be a shame.

This was one of the best books I’ve read in forever — but there were two problems. First, I kept stopping to look at old clips from The Smothers Brothers or from Bob Newhart or from Harry Belafonte or… the list of videos I watched, well, it was long. Very long. Second, I really want to re-watch all three seasons of The Smothers Brothers but they aren’t available on Netflix. Wah!

It’s funny — I was only 4 when their show went on the air and it ended when I was 6 but I definitely remember watching it and really liking it. (Also interesting, I didn’t like Laugh In nearly as much but I did like Hee Haw quite a bit.)

Since I was so young, I had no idea how… different… this show was and how important. I’m glad I know, now.
