Actor-singer Dean Jones is the host for this weekly melange of satire aimed at every facet of American life.
Guests: Dean Jones welcomes Art Carney, Tom and Dick Smothers, and Alice Ghostley. Satirical targets: dropouts, discrimination and political extremism. Tom and Dick turn a simple song into "controversial material" and join Dean in a folk singing spoof. Series regulars include Dick Clair and Jenna McMahon, (lampooning modern life), singer Gerri Granger(who joins the company in the weekly vaudeville show segment), and commentator Alex Dreier, (spoofing documentaries.)
Created and produced by Saul Iison and Ernest Chambers, who originated "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour."
The show ran from February 6th, 1969-May 1st, 1969. In late March, the show became "The Dean Jones Variety Hour." Both formats proved unsuccessful and the series was dropped after a thirteen week run.
Third show of the series.

Special: This first-run Smothers hour features Nancy Wilson, Dan Rowan, singer Teddy Neely and comedian David Steinberg. The controversial show (scratched by CBS censors) was a factor in the cancellation of the series.
On April 3, 1969, Bob Wood, president of CBS Television, telegraphed Smothers that the show was canceled; ostensibly, the reason was that Smothers had failed to deliver a tape on time, though Smothers insisted that timely delivery had been made (the Smothers' guests on that show were David Steinberg, Dan Rowan, and Nancy Wilson).
