SMOTHERS
DVD I
have a few complete 16mm kinescopes of the show, and when comparing them
with the E! versions that I recorded in the early '90s, I discovered that As far as I can tell these are the E! edited versions with the original closing themes restored but I could be wrong. There are no solo Dick Smothers numbers and, as I noted in the review, a John Hartman solo spot was cut from one episode at least. Which is a shame, I'm a big fan of Hartman and his fan base is actually growing right now with the renewed interest in bluegrass music. It may have been too expensive to go back and restore those elements not used when E! ran the series? A Time-Life press release states that these are complete and unedited episodes but Tom Smothers says at one point in the collection that these are edited shows. Tuesday,

QUESTION
ANSWERED Dal mc'd the KNXT (now KCBS) TV 2 Hollywood California version of Captain Jet in the early 1950s until the format of his show and the character were unjustly taken away from him and wrongly copyrighted as a CBS property by a miserable fink named James Aubrey aka The Smiling Cobra or as I prefer to call him the CBS TV corporate Rat Fink! Dal went onto to do voice overs for many movie and TV cartoons and feature films, most notably Have Rocket Will Travel with The Three Stooges, Tom Thumb and The Wonderful World Of The Brothers Grimm for George Pal. He also played "Cincinnatus" on MGM/NBC TV's Daniel Boone show with Fess Parker and Ed Ames. Dal did the voice of Buzz Buzzard in the Woody Woodpecker movie cartoons and he was the voice of Tin Tin and Archie Andrews for The Archie Show TV cartoons. Monday,
