Smith and Goody was a children's sketch show on ITV shown for one series in 1980. It starred, and was written by Mel Smith (at the time, part of the Not The Nine O'Clock News show on BBC2) and Bob Goody, with music provided by Peter Brewis. As well as being a comedy, the series had tried to advocate literature. It was set in a flat in which books, newspapers and magazines were in abundance and the sketches were designed to encourage young people to enjoy reading.
Smith and Goody, one short and the other very tall, made for the stereotypical double-act partnership, and had worked together since meeting at drama school, putting together a joint production at the 1977Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
The way to get Smith reelected to another term, Rove reportedly told the Interior Department officials, would come via the agency's support of a highly controversial measure: diverting water from the Klamath River Basin to farms in the area that were experiencing unusually dry conditions, thereby supporting the GOP's agricultural base.
Smith and Walden didn't give a damn about them so they stacked the deck in favor of farmers in the Klamath Basin who would vote for them.
In this case, the fish and the Native Americans were on the sidelines as Norton and Smith tried desperately to mollify both the Hardy Individulaist Fishermen and the Hardy Individualist Farmers, while avoiding a shitstorm in an election year.
Smith continued his career as a competent top-minor league non-prospect in 1941, hitting.261 for Buffalo with 11 homers; more importantly he again was drawing walks - 79, fifth in the IL.
Smith's progress continued in 1942; at the age of 27, when many baseball players peak, Smith hit.279 with 16 steals, 11 homers, 95 walks (2 behind league leader Goody Rosen) and 100 runs scored.
Smith found a job the next year with the Cincinnati Reds but only made it to July 9th before being let go in favor of his 1941 Buffalo teammate Hutchinson.
