in the 70s, Food of the Seventies

Message Report

Commentor Name:	Rob Lambert
Comments left:	From the prime time TV vault, a commercial spotlighting the Gemini Space Project. Comparisons are shown between how astronauts and kids at home drink Tang. This aired on the "Smothers Brothers" show over CBS (4/1/66). Not the cutting-edge Comedy Hour, but a 30-minute, B&W sitcom, with Tom as a novice angel (after drowning), and brother Dick as a low-echelon executive at a magazine publisher run by Roland Winters. Original sponsors, Alberto-Culver (VO-5) and American Tobacco, dropped out midseason (ratings not great). General Foods and Union Carbide replaced them for rest of series. Two years down the road, Tom would mastermind Pat Paulsen's farcical run for the White House, while Dick focused his attention on stock car racing. The original sitcom was a Four Star Films production.
