The Smothers Brothers Summer Show (1970)
This promo is for the 1970 ABC incarnation of the boys and can easily be confused with CBS' 1968 Summer replacement hosted by Glen Campbell titled The Summer Brothers Smothers Show. Read more about both here.
I always thought this series was the equal of their original variety show; if nothing else, it was far more experimental. The first time I saw Richard Pryor when he stopped being just a stand-up comic and became -- well, Richard Pryor -- was on this show. Tom Smothers' "Prime Time Organic Space Ride" was pretty bizarre, too.
