Dangerously Funny: The Uncensored Story of "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour"

I heard David Bianculli talk about his book on NPR's Fresh Air yesterday and was fascinated by just how courageous the Smothers Brothers were during the 60s. Sometimes you have to create a crapstorm to stand up for your principles when opposed by those in power.

Any Smothers Brothers fans out there with stories about their show in the 60s?
