The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour with guests The Turtles

This is one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands. The Turtles are one of the best, and perhaps most underrated, pop groups of all time. A Guide For the Married Man was one of the few songs they didn't write themselves but they did wonders with it. This tune was the theme song to a Walter Matthau picture of the same name. The movie had an incredible cast of comedy stars second only to It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World (1964). Directed by Gene Kelly the film featured Robert Morse, Lucille Ball, Jack Benny, Wally Cox, Sid Caesar, Joey Bishop, Art Carney, Jayne Mansfield, Phil Silvers, Louis Nye, Ben Blue, Carl Reiner, Terry Thomas, and countless other instantly recognizable character actors. This Turtles appearance on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour took place in 1967. Tommy Smothers promises me the show will be on DVD soon!

The Mike Douglas Show with guests The Turtles

The sound is kinda muddy on this one, but I guess that's what we've come to expect from our bootleg internet gems. After profiling Frank Zappa on The New Steve Allen Show, why it's only natural to watch his future Mother members Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman in The Turtles on another classic talk show. Here they perform Eleanor.
