The first was as a daily series that aired from April 12 to July 23, 1976, on ABC, airing at 2:30 p.m. Eastern/1:30 Central. Although the series was popular, the network canceled it in order to expand the soap operas One Life to Live and General Hospital, both of which followed it on the daytime schedule, from 30 minutes to 45 minutes. The show quickly returned as a weekly syndicated game from September 18, 1976, to September 11, 1977. The ABC daytime series had 76 episodes, including the 3/23 and 5/20 pilots. The syndicated series had 24 episodes with 5 of them being rerun. The last episode for the entire series was on February 26, 1977, with reruns airing until September 11th of that year. In 1994, GSN added Break the Bank to their lineup. This continued until 1997, and since then, no episodes from the series have been broadcast on television again.

Edwin Newman moderates this look into violence in America. Reporters include Linda Ellerbee and Floyd Kalber. NBC pre-empted its entire prime-time schedule for this three hour study of violence in America, from street crime to movie mayhem. Profiled are the gunshot and stabbing victims in Detroit, where the crime rate is reported t o be five times the national average; youth-gang members in New York's South Bronx, who talk about the omnipresence of violence in their lives; and concerned citizens of Friendship, Wisconsin (population: 641) where eight homicides have occurred in the past four years. Other segments trace the role violence has played in American history and folklore; in sports like football and hockey; in movies ranging from "The Great Train Robbery" (1903) to "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" (1974); and on TV shows that, some say, may inure people to real-life violence. Also investigated: child-abuse, wife-beating and rape, a sequence that includes an encounter session conducted in a prison between convicted rapists and victims of the crime. NOTE: NBC REPORTS first appeared as a regularly scheduled serIes of investigative documentaries designed to probe and expose current issues. First broadcast September 12, 1972 - September 4, 1973 and then resuming on January 5, 1976, broadcasting a number of irregularly scheduled special NBC REPORTS that aired approximately once a month and continued into the 1980's.

"The Tomorrow Show" with Tom Snyder is NOT AVAILABLE FOR SALE. October 15, 1973-January 28, 1982. Tom Snyder's guest is Larry Flynt, publisher of the pornographic magazine HUSTLER which was first released to the public in July 1974, at which time Flynt made his first National television appearance on The Tomorrow Show. Charged in February of 1977 with obscenity and organized crime ties, he was tried in Cincinnati and convicted of all charges, although the verdict was later overturned on appeal due to allegations of prosecutorial misconduct and judicial and jury bias. In this little known rare interview given prior to an assassination attempt on his life (March 6, 1978) which left him paralyzed and wheel chair bound for the rest of his life, Snyder is very probing. Flynt, later joined by his attorney, discusses his current court case and explores the subject of the first amendment and what is the right to publish and what is not is the right to publish, including graphic pornography without government censorship, and the distribution of pornography, including the August 1975 Hustler publication of nude photos of Jacqueline Onassis which host Tom Snyder expresses his objection. The question here is freedom of the press, the press being a smut magazine which manages to offend more people than all its competitors (Penthouse, Screw, Playboy) combined. Perhaps these are the qualities which made the rare Flynt's appearance on the Tomorrow Show the prize of late night television. In an interview taped soon after Larry Flynt's Cincinnati conviction, Tom Snyder, demanded to know how Flynt could publish a magazine which so egregiously corrupted the minds of readers. Flynt reminded Snyder that experts (most notably the recent Commission on Obscenity and Pornography) had not been able to establish the link between reading obscenity and committing obscene acts. If in fact pornography is dangerous, mused Flynt, just contemplate the ravaged minds of all the psychologists and assistant D.A.'s who spend forty hours a week perusing the stuff. Snyder was not deterred: what of the people who are not "mature" enough to realize that Hustler is for the most part an indulgence in sexual fantasy, the few people who in fact might read Hustler and take some of its perversity not only to heart but out to the streets as well? Flynt shook his head with blustery impatience. "I don't publish a magazine for the mentally ill," he replied. Also joining in on the discussion is Larry Flynt's attorney, Harold Ferringer who has defended other cases related to pornography including the motion picture, "Deep Throat." Additional conversation centers around the sordid conditions presently existing in Times Square. NOTE: This "lost" broadcast, which is not extant in any broadcast form in any of the major archives (Paley Center, NBC News, UCLA Film & TV Archive, Museum of Broadcasting, Library of Congress) other than this complete ATA TV Audio Air Check was not advertised as scheduled.. It replaced the original regularly scheduled broadcast advertised with guest Monte Hall. Tom Snyder discusses the circumstances behind this last minute change and states that the Monte Hall program, recorded on February 18th will be aired on March 11th (AM EST). Also scheduled guest California congressman Robert Dorman does not have the chance to appear as the entire program is centered on Larry Flynt. NOTE: Snyder begins the show mentioning that this broadcast is to be the final one from studio 6A Rockefeller Center from where he did his first show October 15, 1973. A nostalgic sad farewell. Snyder also admits he feels Hustler Magazine is a "rag" publication during his revealing conversation with Larry Flynt. Includes commercials. An hour-long talk show hosted by Tom Snyder. Network television's first entry into late-late-night programming on weeknights Monday thru Thursday, usually broadcasting on tape 1 AM to 2 AM.

1963-1982 (SYNDICATED). Mike Douglas hosted one of television's longest-running talk shows (19 years). Each week Douglas was joined by a different co-host. In 1967, "The Mike Douglas Show" became the first syndicated talk show to win an Emmy Award. Broadcast from 1963-1978 in Philadelphia Broadcast from 1978-1982 in Los Angeles Co-Host: Richard Hatch Richard Hatch discusses message therapy which he has experienced a better balanced body and relief from tension. He mentions his great relationship and love for co-star Karl Malden on the series "Streets of San Francisco." Richard, who first learned to play piano at eight years of age plays piano. In a separate video taped 32 minute segment Mike Douglas interviews Betty Hutton who just has filmed a Beretta TV episode with Robert Blake. Betty discusses a myriad of subjects including: Mother, an early bootlegger and alcoholic herself...Betty singing at three years of age, with her mother playing guitar...marriage four times and never loved by any of her husbands...at 14 meeting Bernard Baruch, and dropping out of school to go into showbusiness...at one point in her life wanting to become a nun but unable to find the passion...love of church and finding God...writing a book called "Backstage You Can Have." Betty also remember her years with Vincent Lopez and a career that in the whole made her miserable and depressed. Playing Vegas...replacing Judy Garland on sage and making $100,000 a night and replacing Garland reshooting the movie "Annie Oakley." Biggest satisfaction in her career playing for the troops in Korea. Past 10 years very lonely...has found God after shock of having former husband Pete Candoli leave her, at such time thought of committing suicided. Betty Hutton tells Mike Douglas that she and most other entertainers have a inside fear prior to performing. Interestingly she remembers seeing Al Jolson on stage for his last time and he told her the same emotion he has always had as well. Betty confirms that at one time she had almost 10 million dollars and after it was all gone her children moved in with their father...a future estranged relationship, and she subsequently has never met her four grandchildren. Betty confides she was a "bastard child" and finally one day tracked down her biological father. She had a lot of money stolen from her and remembers her mother not trusting banks and use to keep cash savings under the bed mattress. Betty reveals why she failed as a wife and mother...the pitfalls being a star played on who the real Betty Hutton. She sings "It Had to be You." Continuing her interview with Mike Douglas Betty Hutton reflects on memories working on "Panama Hattie" with Ethel Merman and devastated when Merman removed the only song in the show sung by Hutton. More discussion about the days when the great directors and writers ruled the motion picture industry collaborating with talent and all working together in a very creative way. Such approach has long gone with corporations taking over. Betty reflects her TV Series "The Betty Hutton Show" playing Goldie and how the 37 episodes have vanished...locked away by Lucille Ball who purchased the show (a failure) years ago. Betty states her life story on stage or in film should be done by Bernadette Peters. Ending this extraordinary segment interview between Betty Hutton and Mike Douglas they both sing a duet, "Ragtime Cowboy Joe."#9854: THE WAY IT WAS
