Anyone know how I can get a copy or footage of Olivia Newton John performing Have You Never Been Mellow? from season 1 episode 3 that aired 1/29/1975. I have looked everywhere and would love to see this again. Thanks

Season's Three and Two Best-ofs have been released in descending order, so perhaps Season 1 is coming soon. But it hasn't been released yet, if that's what you were hoping.

 

Also, are you thinking of a different series? The original Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour only ran (almost) three seasons and ended in 1969, and I don't think ONJ was on the radar yet.

The person is referring to their separate 1975 NBC variety series which is another program.

Yep, and I'd rather have that series. Barry Manilow was on it too. Would love to have that episode. Their 1975 series was superior to the one that ran in the late 60s. The only thing to commend that one was their political controversies.

I would have to go with the 60s show. Much more iconic . Let's face it , both The Doors and the Who were on that show .

Not to mention George Carlin, Jonathan Winters, Pat Paulson, David Steinberg, David Frye, and the A-list of rock acts from the late 60s (this was the show where Keith Moon loaded his drumkit with dynamite and blew out Pete Townsend's right ear as he was sliding by.)

 

In the canon of TV history, the original show will be remembered, written about (in two books already), and kept alive forever. Not so much the Smothers Brothers lite from the mid-seventies. Remember, this is a show that was never canceled for slipping ratings, it was KILLED for perceived sacrilege (see David Steinberg discussing God) by the fearful and ignorant.

 

And yes, Olivia Newton John and Barry Manilow were a helluva lot safer.
