Tommy Smothers R.I.P.

 Tommy Smothers R. I.P. Tom and Dick opened the 1970 Rankin/Bass TV Special The Mad, Mad, Mad Comedians, which was the highest rated Rankin/Bass TV Special of All-time! One of the big reasons that it was so highly rated, was that it aired right before the Academy Awards on ABC TV. I always loved Tom and Dick! I have all of 

 

their record albums and have watched all of their television appearances. I recently re-watched SMOTHERED, which really gets into the nitty gritty of their CBS TV Show and what happened. #Tomsmothers #Thesmothersbrothers

Rankin/Bass' The Mad, Mad, Mad Comedians is fifty!

 I just realized that Rankin/Bass' The Mad, Mad, Mad Comedians was broadcast on ABC-TV twice in 1970.  Once sponsored by Pepsico just before the Academy Awards and was the highest rated TV Special for Rankin/Bass Productions ever!  Then it was broadcasted in the Fall of 1970 wih a different set of sponsors seen above!  I have the dvd in my ETSY store right now and the dvd includes some other things on it as well!

Happy Columbus day! Flip Wilson tells his story of Christopher Columbus in Rankin/Bass' The Mad, Mad, Mad Comedians 🤣 #columbusday #rankinbass
