Blog : TV Worth Watching

And the Smothers Stuff Just Keeps on Coming... Now, New Web Pages At A New Website

My dual web gurus, Eric Gould and Rich Baniewicz, have done it again: This time they've added new pages to my Smothers Brothers book website, where you can find not only the latest reviews, but the full chapter-by-chapter detailed notes...

The website is www.dangerouslyfunnythebook.com, which you can link to by clicking HERE. The main page, which has been up for a while, now provides new active links on the left side.

One clicks to the latest reviews of my book, Dangerously Funny: The Uncensored Story of 'The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour' -- and I'm already behind on loading those, but most of them are there.

Another active link clicks to the chapter-by-chapter notes, an index of which is pictured above. This tracks my research, for anyone who has the book and wants to know my source material. It saved bogging down the book with hundreds of footnotes -- and many pages of extra bibliographic material.

I'll continue to keep giving updates here on TV WORTH WATCHING. It's my site, and I can double dip if I want to. But I just wanted to let you know that my "sister" site will be the repository for book reviews and notes.

And tomorrow, we'll have contributing critic Ed Martin on NBC's Mercy, and start getting back to basics...

(Meanwhile, a week after publication, the book is ranked #217 on Amazon... Hooray for our side!)

Behind David in the picture is the first TV owned by his father, Virgil Bianculli, a 1946 Raytheon. (The TV, not his father. His father was a 1923 Italian.)

David Bianculli has been a TV critic since 1975, including a 14-year stint at the New York Daily News, and sees no reason to stop now. Currently, he's TV critic for NPR's Fresh Air, occasional substitute host for that show's Terry Gross, and teaches TV and film history at New Jersey's Rowan University. His most recent book is 2009's Dangerously Funny: The Uncensored Story of 'The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour,' and he's at work on another.
