Tom Smothers played dumb in an infamous CBS variety show that revolutionized 1960s TV.
Its counter-culture underpinnings offered Sunday night relief in tough times.
Dozens of comedians and icons of the era sprouted careers or did guest turns.
Tom's rebel nature infuriated the network; it canned the popular show after two years.
Many moments of the CBS show appear on the Smothers Brothers YouTube channel.
