Removed this: "At the Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, on December 30, 1976, the Smothers Brothers played their last show."

I have tickets to see them next month - they had better still be on tour. Anyone know what this event was? Rmhermen 18:46 Jan 21, 2003 (UTC)

The link to The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour redirects back to this same article. While the show may deserve its own article, for now I have simply removed the link. Richard K. Carson 07:54, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The main article seems to indicate a different high school than the personal stub articles about Tom and Dick. The main article claims they graduated from Redondo Union High School, in Redondo Beach CA. The personal articles claim they graduated from Verdugo Hills High School in Tujunga, CA. This is a bit of a confusion. Which school did they graduate from?

ANSWER: Tom and Dick Smothers grew up in Sunland, California, which is adjacent to Tujunga. Tujunga is within the City of Los Angeles and has Verdugo Hills High School. Dick Smothers was my classmate in the fifth and sixth grade at Apperson Street School in Sunland. From there he and his brother went to Verdugo Hills High School (junior and senior HS) in Tujunga, class of 1957. Yet neither graduated with us because they moved away before 1957.

Inaccurate info

David Letterman doesn't have any credits on IMDB until 1974, so there's no way he could've been a writer for the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour unless he was doing it on top of school in Indiana. If anyone can prove otherwise, we'll put it back in, but as for now, it's false information. - Stick Fig 07:39, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

1988-1989 series, strike, etc.

I remove this edit from the article, referencing the 1988-1989 shows on CBS:

(This is an interesting claim, since the new incarnation of the Smothers show aired on CBS and Saturday Night Live is an NBC show.)

This appears to be a fair point as far as it goes, but it belongs here where we can resolve the issue, not in the article itself. So far I've found this TV Party page, which confirms that it was on CBS. It was during the strike, however, and the SmoBro official site mentions a book about SNL on its Reference Sources page. I will rephrase the article.-- Karen | Talk | contribs 03:50, 29 June 2007 (UTC) --Karen | Talk | contribs 03:51, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Other stuff

Odd, no mention of their winery, Remrick Ridge: http://www.smothersbrothers.com/remick.html 71.145.155.3 (talk) 04:27, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And no mention of their younger brother. In 1967 their mother's house was damaged by a landslide, and she came down to L.A. for several months. I lived in the same building in Marina Del Rey as Tommy, and I played with their younger brother when he was around.
