Three Days of the Condor (1975)
Goofy, but entertaining
Goofy spy paranoia yarn.
They change the more plausible MacGuffin in the book to something of more public concern at the time.
It's still worth watching more than once, especially with the performances of John Houseman and Max Von Sydow.
The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour (1967)
Funny show that fizzled on its own.
I remember this show well. I was a fan at first. This show was a humorous and entertaining variety show the first season. Then it became less and less entertaining and humorous as they began wasting a lot of time fighting the network's "standards and practices" about risqué material. The show became basically unwatchable by the last season. Reading other comments, it seems people don't remember that they were always allowed to poke fun at politicians. They skewered LBJ the first two years, and Nixon the last year, and also individual members of Congress. For example, they attacked Senator Pastore personally because he was an outspoken critic of television programming at the time.
It's an example of a good show that lost its vision and became mediocre.
