@garypjacobs Thanks for that info. Huge Letterman fan and the comment sections below these "old" clips are replete with tons of comments like yours with lots of juicy info. I was only 5 in 1980 so I was more interested in the cartoons.

the biggest mistake NBC ever made was taking off hollywood squares and
high rollers and replacing them with letterman
-
A year makes a big difference, Brad....it was hoped that a new PYRAMID would get the AS THE WORLD TURNS slot, but as we now know CBS went with a Xerox of THE VIEW--THE TALK. And ABC is readying talk/info shows to replace ALL MY CHILDREN and ONE LIFE TO LIVE. At least LET'S MAKE A DEAL is holding its own...it's already run longer than every game show one of the Big Three has debuted in the past two decades.

When Letterman's daytime show premiered, my NBC affiliate (WSAZ) pre-empted Card Sharks for the rest of its NBC run in favor of local news.

The reason why those "ghetto-fabulous" talk and "court" shows exist is they're cheap to produce unlike game shows and soap operas, and they're much cheaper for local stations (who now have most of the control over daytime programing) than sitcom reruns (they were cheap years ago because there was little if any "residuals" paid out to the actors/actresses.
And Cable TV isn't much better - a lot of infomercials and trash TV offerings..

Silverman missed a few; I've got a copy of that "We're loud" parody.

This promo aired the week of June 16-20, 1980. Dave's new show, simply titled "The David Letterman Show," debuted June 23, 1980. I watched that first show, and caught every show I could afterwards that summer before I had to start school again. It was bittersweet, though, because Peter Marshall and Hollywood Squares was sacrificed to make room for David's 90 min. This at a time when NBC's ratings were in the tank and Fred Silverman ordered a parody of the "Proud" promo destroyed.

@springloadedchicken this was when he appeared in game shows, sitcoms, and such?
-
@Lakeview312 what did you think of him in the mary and starland vocal band variety shows?
-
Yeah, the one guy who dared to be different on daytime & he lasted about 3 months. Oh well, back to the carpet swatches & "who my baby daddy?"

And now all we have are ghetto-fabulous talk shows in their place. I rather see a game show (like Hollywood Squares and Password Plus) and a positive talk show or two that today's garbage. Oh well, thank the most high for cable TV.

I always enjoyed Tom Kennedy...When Bill Cullen passed the world lost a legend. Allen Ludden was a great guy and the show wasn't the same again. We had Bullseye, Joker's Wild later the All New Name That Tune after the 6 pm news (nighttime Wheel didn't exist). Donahue, then Oprah took cartoons and Star Trek, Hillbillies out of my afternoon, even Heckle and Jeckle! GRRRR.
