| | Smothers Brothers still cracking wise, after 44 years North County Times - North San Diego and Southwest Riverside ... |
 | | The Smothers Brothers, who perform Nov. 21 at the Poway Center for the Performing Arts, anchored variety/comedy shows on CBS, ABC and NBC in the '60s, '70s and '80s, but it was for CBS' controversial "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour" that the duo is best known. |
 | | Today, the Smothers Brothers still have a few topical jokes in their show, but audiences shouldn't come expecting the kind of hard-hitting satire that marked their early television years. |
 | | The Smothers Brothers contribution to television history has lately been celebrated with a number of honors, including being invited by their old nemesis, CBS, to take part in the network's 75th anniversary special this past month and an appearance on the American Music Awards this past Sunday. |
