  • What years was he in Cleveland Ohio?

  • Great! This is really great find on Joan Fontaine! I find and opened this after another TV episode of Steve Allen showing Olivia de Havilland and Bette Davis were guest on his show and that Bette sang Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte.

  • Good find!

  • Now that I think about it, 'wm', Mike probably began color videotaping in the fall of '67, while he was on WOR in New York....

  • @fromthesidelines - Actually, it was around the 1967-68 season that he began producing in color. In his last months at WOR, Mike was shifted to 6 P.M.; this, plus WABC-TV's debut of its 4:30 P.M. movie show (called "The Big Show" up to January 1969, only after then did it become "The 4:30 Movie"; and 2 hours up to September 1969), ultimately led to WCBS stealing away Douglas in March of 1968, as a lead-in to the 6 P.M. newscast. (WNBC's "Movie 4" by then was a joke in the ratings.)

  • In those days, Mike was on WOR-TV, Channel 9, in New York, weekdays at 4:30pm. He wouldn't "convert" to full color until 1968.

  • @gymnastix And, Jerry, Maury and their like would go up in a puff of smoke.

  • As an Irishman I adore Michael Douglas How handsome and lovable! I remember walking into my grandfather's house forty years ago and he would be watching Mike! As I am "Mike" too! Watch his interview on the archive! And look up his biography on wikipedia. Very interesting! The Scrose

  • I'll also give an honorable mention to "The Bonnie Hunt Show." Hunt has an amiable style, but her guests are nearly pure plugfest. And she, like Ellen DeGeneres and Oprah, adhere to that annoying practice (begun by the obnoxious and talentless Rosie O'Donnell) of relentless audience giveaways.

    A good talk show need not bribe its audience or viewers. If the format, guests and host alone cannot sustain a program, then . . .

    Most amusing segments are Hunt's web chats with her very own mom, Alice.

  • Also fun & funny are occasional-but-regular, wild animal segments, which typically terrify Ray, and from which some viewers may derive a perverse pleasure.
