Time (magazine) was a critical contemporary source for fleshing out this 40-plus-year-old one-season show. Variety and The New York Times, both sites that are often useful for old reviews, were useless in this case (though there's some information behind NYT's paywall that was not used). Secondary and tertiary sources like imdb and tv.com suggest the show was both a critical and a popular flop in a day when Burnett and Newhart were certainly rising stars, but there isn't an obvious primary source to go to to confirm that. An American Masters episode on Newhart suggested that the problem was its mix of entertainers that were meant for an adult audience with music that pre-teens and teenagers liked, but I found no online source I could use to cite this. As of these comments (January 2009), the references to The Complete Directory to Prime Time Network TV Shows 1946 - Present were formatted as references based on the =The_Entertainers&oldid=171215295 initial version of the article created by MovieMadness (talk · contribs), who was asked to take a look at it and verify that the references were transcribed accurately. — 68.165.77.11 (talk) 08:24, 23 January 2009 (UTC) |
