George Carlin was awesome!

On April 4, 1969, the popular show The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour was abruptly canceled by CBS and then replaced by the show Hee Haw.

Facts are always a conspiracy theory to the willfully ignorant.

Citation? And why? Having your show cancelled does not mean you were "Cancelled" for political reasons. Maybe they were having trouble on the set, happens all the time.

Political pressure, pure and simple. Pols simply threatening to spend their TV campaign ad cash on other networks is all it takes. Another reason to take the bribe money out of elections.

Keep playing stupid; you're a natural at it.

Hee Haw for Smothers Brothers was the ultimate Nixon Era capitulation to the imaginary moral majority.

Carlin was an excellent critic of the American system and religion which are getting harder to separate.

The right-wing idiot responses in this thread show that Carlin was absolutely right.

They just don't get it.

He came along after the counter-culture began; he was merely jumping on the bandwagon, same as most of them. Easy money back then.
