The Smothers Brothers "lost" NBC special about censorship and freedom of speech. Tom and Dick present an hour of satire and music. Guests include Peter Fonda, Glen Campbell, David Frye, and comics Bob Einstein and David Steinberg.
The high-point of the hour is a sketch blending comedy and patriotism. Tom and Dick greet Abraham Lincoln (Pat Paulsen) Thomas Jefferson (Peter Fonda), Benjamin Franklin (Fredd Wayne) and President Johnson (David Frye).
Also: Songs by the brothers ("Time," "A Song For The Asking.") and Campbell ("Pave Your Way Into Tomorrow.") Steinberg as a way-out existential psychiatrist; Einstein as officer Judy (with an a comic apologia for the police) and "instant analysis" of the show by David Frye (as William F. Buckley, Jr and David Susskind) and newsman Alex Dreier.
Dupe of #9243.
