Listen to me on TV CONFIDENTIAL:
As always, the further we go back in Hollywood history, the more that fact and legend become intertwined. It's hard to say where the truth really lies.
April 4, 1969
The CBS Television Network fired The
Smothers Brothers because the brothers failed to submit an episode of The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour to
network executives before its broadcast.
The network claimed the second to last show of the season was turned in
late, and claimed that their tardiness constituded a breach of contract
justifying their dropping of the series. The network ultimately refused to run
the episode anyway because they said it "would be considered irreverent
and offensive by a large segment of our audience". That episode is on the Smothers Brothers: The Best of Season 3 DVD.
April 4, 1971
The final episode of Hogan's
Heroes aired.
Rockets Or Romance: Three
mobile rocket launchers are aimed at London and awaiting detonation, or
destruction. With radio detection trucks patrolling the area and one rocket
sitting inside Stalag 13, directing the Allied bombers could turn into a
suicide mission. Timeline: Klink tells Hogan the Germans will stop the Allies
from Capturing Munich-which was captured in March 1945.
April 4, 1986
The final episode of Knight
Rider aired.
Voo Doo Knight: Michael tries
to stop a voodoo woman who is using mind control on innocent people and forcing
them to commit crimes for her.
To quote the Bicentennial Minute, "And that's the way it was".
