Can you please upload interview clips of the late, great Robert Shaw. He was such an interesting and engaging guest appearing on the show at least 5 times.
e.g. Woody Allen/Robert Shaw/Beverly Sills/Jacqueline Wexler (29 Dec. 1969
I can just imagine what they would think of TV today.
dick cavett is still alive just in case u thought hes dead
@@groupie8985 I realize that
@@VideoAmericanStyle Older generations like to act like the world is worse now and that it was way better when they were a kid. Nostalgia = rose colored glasses.
Thanks for posting another great Simon interview.
It’s crazy because eventually I don’t think people will even be watching television at all. Not that many do today.
The era of good interesting interviews. I love this show, Dick is so laid back and brings a natural feeling to the discussion. I wish tv today had more time to have proper interactions, podcasts are good though but without the audience there isn’t the same feel to it.
The era of well-spoken English...
Watching the show can make you understand how ideas and culture are evolving and where communities are heading
All the kids & young ones are on CZcams.
Television is pretty much finished.
I thought the CEO of CZcams Susan Wojcicki giving herself the Free Speech award was hilarious.
It’s like Stalin giving himself a humanitarian award.
The human race has gone insane

At the 4min mark, he's talking about The Goodbye Girl. A classic.
To be clear, 'The Goodbye Girl' was the film that had just been released shortly before this interview (1977) -- the one which he didn't think was right for Burt Reynolds (of course, it was Richard Dreyfuss who ultimately co-starred with Marsha Mason in it).
Whereas much of what they talk about here concerns a project still to come, in which Reynolds would co-star with Mason -- except that that didn't actually happen. Apparently, this was the project that became 'Seems Like Old Times' (1980), which would star Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase instead (things can change unexpectedly like that -- and I can sort of understand why Simon seemed a little irritated with Dick for bringing it up when it was still at such an early stage then).
I swear if y'all don't post the gloria steinem interview
😿inaudible on my iPhone maxed volume ❓
00:51 - Now, consider this within the context of our present age with our global audience and you have your reason why popular culture flushed itself down the toilet decades ago.
Could you maybe upload the Raul Julia interview?
It's the novelty that gives fresh its ripeness.

The laugh track didn't kill comedy, because it's never been used for comedy.
Witty comment ;)
@@strangersname I liked to think it was.
@@brainflash1 I would think it sailed over many heads, but perhaps now...
Sounds like Dick's describing people watching Friends.....
Of course, this interview was well before the era of 'Friends.'
American TV back then was so male dominated. The only fleshed out parts for women were on daytime soaps.
That's why it was good.
Is this channel ever going to show Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason and/or Art Carney? I don’t have the Decades channel at all.
I hate canned laughter with a passion, and hype. I don't mind if something isn't funny TO ME....just don't fake the funny because it makes it 1000 times worse.
Friends
do have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason or Art Carney? How about any Honeymooners actors that were part of the main cast? These are rarities much like all the other Dick Cavett shows on CZcams.
