content: Include black and white and color photographic prints, contact sheets, and slides documenting scenes from various television shows broadcasted by Columbia Broadcasting System, Incorporated (CBS) and National Broadcasting Company (NBC). The earliest show represented is My Brother the Angel, originally titled the Smothers Brothers Show, a black and white half hour comedy series starring the Smothers brothers in 1966. The show lasted for one season and predates the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, which was also broadcasted by Columbia Broadcasting System, Incorporated (CBS) from1967-1969. Materials from the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, a comedy and variety series, include images of the Smothers brothers, regular cast members, and well-known musical artists and actors as guests.  Conflicts with CBS network executives over program content resulting in the cancellation of their show meant that the Smothers could pursue programming with National Broadcasting Company (NBC). Images documenting the National Broadcasting Company's (NBC) the Smothers Brothers Show dating from 1974-1975 and the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, 1988-1989 revival are also found among these materials.  In addition, there are materials relating to the Glen Campbell Summer Show, a replacement for the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, dating from 1968. Materials are arranged in chronological order.
