I just watched them on a NCC YouTube the other day!
Being only just a kid, of about seven or so, I didn't perceive them to be controversial. I watched bits of the show at a friend's house from time to time - his parents watched it. His parents were a touch more "progressive" or "mod" than mine. The most memorable thing about them to me was the petty arguing and Tom's ditsy-aloof demeanor. I too, think they were good - singers, musicians, comedians, and MC/hosts - all in one. I believe they were in the right place in the right times with the right "schtick."
Great column! Once again, I go off on a deep-dive!
