Damn.
I loved their show, and Tommy was my favorite of the two.
Some of you (who are old enough) may remember that there was a musicians’ strike one year, which left the show without its musical backup. So The Beatles joined Tom and Dick as guests that night, October 13, 1968.
Terrible news. I loved the Brothers in almost all their incarnations. (Okay, not the sitcom.)
Pfui!
From the sitcom’s lyrics:
“Brother Tom was lost at sea without his water wings,
And now he’s an angel, and does the most fantastic things.”
Damn. The brothers were my first introduction to edgy, subversive (for the time) humor and ideas back in the 60’s.
We saw Tom & Dick in Greensburg, PA 5-8 years ago. They put on an excellent show. I actually remembered some of the things they did from their original tv show.
This is sad. The Smothers Brothers were one of the formative comedic influences of my childhood, mostly due to the LPs my parents had. I remember laughing hysterically at their version of “The Fox.”
I loved their show when I was a kid.
I always remember a routine where Tommy was the Tooth Fairy in a kid’s bedroom. A cop shows up to arrest him as an intruder. ‘Do you know who I am?’ asks the cop. Tommy’s face fills with wonder, and his voice was filled with axe. ‘You’re the Easter Pig!’
He and his brother’s heyday was before my time, but I interviewed him in the early 2000s when I was an entertainment reporter for a local newspaper and they were doing a stand-up show in town. Was a very nice guy and a great interview. Very charming, funny and conversational. My mom was very impressed I got to meet him. 
They had another round of the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour in 1988/89, and my parents enjoyed telling me about watching the Comedy Hour decades earlier. It was a show that all three of us enjoyed watching.
Axe is a body spray, not a mouthwash.
:flees:
Awe. ‘Filled with awe.’
I’ve had a lot more typos since I crushed my hand in the log splitter. 
Sad news indeed. I had every LP the Smothers Brothers ever did. Some of their bits are timeless.
When did you do that? Damn.
A year ago last July.
You have my sympathy.
A vicious puma probably got him. RIP funny man.
Their Mother was the Avon lady in my neighborhood, I bet her business really picked up when they became famous.
Did he fall into a vat of chocolate?
The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour was on for only three seasons. It was cancelled because Tom and Dick wouldn’t knuckle under to the network censors. The network claimed it was because The Smothers Brothers had failed to deliver a show on time, but in fact they had delivered a show that the network refused to air in the U.S. (though it was shown in Canada). Tom and Dick won a lawsuit against the network for breach of contract.
Shoulda stayed out of those crevices.
Mainly Tom, who was the liberal voice of the two and was willing to put up a fight for what he thought was right.
Aw, man. I’m sad for me. As a child I always wondered if they were mad at mom for not having another son to name Harry.
