#8975: NBC REPORTS: VIOLENCE IN AMERICA

1977-01-05, NBC, 180 min.

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.

#9694: TONIGHT SHOW STARRING JOHNNY CARSON, THE

1977-02-14, NBC, 15 min.

October 1, 1962-May 22, 1992. Johnny Carson, host of NBC's network late-night "Tonight Show" reigned for 30 unprecedented years...five times the combined tenure of Steve Allen, and Jack Paar. Carson was impervious to competition, including efforts to dethrone him by Les Crane, Joey Bishop, Merv Griffin, Dick Cavett, Jack Paar, Pat Sajak, Joan Rivers, and Arsenio Hall. Sadly, very few complete "Tonight Show" broadcasts survive during Johnny Carson's first ten years of broadcasting. Around 1965, through the early 1970s, oldest tapes were first erased systematically by orders from myopic NBC executives, to be recycled for purposes of saving money. Ironically, in many cases, these older master tapes were too brittle and portended probable drop-outs for re-use after being erased. Subsequently blank after being erased, these older questionable master 2" Quad tapes were either sparingly used or never used again for recording new programming and eventually were discarded. Saving thousands of dollars at the time (wiping master tapes for potential re-use) resulted in losing millions of dollars by NBC in today's marketplace, and more importantly wiping thousands of historic TONIGHT SHOW broadcasts, which contain precious personal anecdotes from political, show business, and sports icons of the past.

Guest Host: Orson Welles. This program is a 15-minute excerpt.
