Dr. Joyce Brothers, a former academic psychologist who, long before Drs. Ruth, Phil and Laura, was counseling millions over the airwaves.

Dr. Joyce Brothers, as she was always known professionally — a full-name hallmark of the more formal times in which she began her career — was widely described as the mother of mass-media psychology and homiletic guidance she administered for decades via radio and television.

Historically, she was a bridge between advice columnists like Dear Abby and Ann Landers, who got their start in the mid-1950s, and the self-help advocates of the 1970s and afterward.

Throughout the 1960s, and long beyond, one could scarcely turn on the television or open a newspaper without encountering her. She was the host of her own nationally syndicated TV shows, starting in the late 1950s with “The Dr. Joyce Brothers Show” and over the years including “Ask Dr. Brothers,” “Consult Dr. Brothers” and “Living Easy With Dr. Joyce Brothers.”

A rare appearance on television by Marlon Brando...in conversation.

Dick Cavett entered late night television in 1969. During the summer of 1969 he hosted a thrice-weekly prime-time series on ABC, and later that year he succeeded Joey Bishop as host of the network's late-night talk show. Cavett brought with him the announcer and bandleader who had worked with him on his earlier shows - Fred Foy, who was for decades the announcer of The Lone Ranger on radio and television, and drummer Bobby Rosengarten. This new format was another attempt by ABC to compete against NBC's highly successful Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson. Originally broadcast five nights a week. However, by January of 1973, the show was seen only one week a month as Cavett's ratings failed to dent Carson's. Jack Paar's return to late night television after an eleven year absence was similarly seen only one week a month under the new ABC series moniker, ABC's WIDE WORLD OF ENTERTAINMENT. On January 1st, 1975, The Dick Cavett Show disappeared from the network all together.    

In the fall of 1977 Cavett appeared on PBS in a half-hour talk show on which he returned to his strong talent: one - guest interviews. 

Guest: Comedian David Frye.

Dick Cavett is back on television as ABC's new entrant in the late-night race. The format is desk and sofa five nights a week like the Johnny Carson and Merv Griffin shows. As Cavett sees it, it's the chemistry that counts. His forte:an articulate way with an interview, plus approaches to comedy that range from youthful innocence to the cynicism of WC.Fields. 

Guests:Robert Shaw and Woody Allen. Series premiere.

Betty Hutton sings on stage "I Got the Sun In The Morning".  
Ann Miller, Jane Russell, Betty Hutton each discuss their careers and philosophy of life. 
At conclusion all three sing "I Got the Sun in the Morning."

NOTE: This was to be one of Betty Hutton's last TV appearances (she did make an appearance on The Merv Griffin Show February 13, 1970) prior to her 1970 mental breakdown and subsequent loss of her singing voice. And, interestingly, Hutton guested with Virginia Graham on January 27, 1972 which would be her last TV appearance until "telling all" five years later on the Mike Douglas Show. 

Betty reminisces about how she began in show business, her mother 's saloon and how she would play guitar and sing there, her four marriages, the last to husband Pete Candoli whom she divorced in 1967, however, now living happily together, but not in the same home. Betty Hutton states to David Frost what the most important principle there is ruling her life.

  A salute to Motion Picture director, Mervyn LeRoy. 

Both Mervyn LeRoy and David Frost recount their first time on stage, acting, as youngsters. Six of LeRoy's directed motion pictures are seen in clips discussed by the director with anecdotes. They include, Little Caesar, I Am a Fugitive From a Chain Gang, They Won't Forget, Waterloo Bridge, Blossoms in the Dust, and Wizard of Oz. 

Other interesting memories by Mervyn LeRoy include his remembrance when directing a screen  test of newcomer Clark Gable and the studio's dissention was that his "ears are too large."                                      

David Frost's guest is Comedian Jackie Mason. 

A very amusing and candid discussion in which host David Frost is often "ribbed" by comedienne Jackie Mason related to his English ancestry.

Mason discusses morality in America, the ever increasing prevalence of corrupt, myopic  politicians in our country, his latest venture as an actor in motion pictures, and our ever increasing importance of focusing on the environment in the USA before it is too late to save the planet.
