Calendar Events / Announcements '05 II / Dick Cavett Show on DVD
« on: August 23, 2005, 04:24:11 PM »
Dear Fans,
A friend of mine informed me last week that selected episodes of the Dick Cavett Show are being given a
release on DVD. He just bought the first set with the theme "Rock Stars" (or something like that) and described performances by Jefferson Airplane, Joni Mitchell, Janis Joplin and other luminaries of the time.
I speculated to him whether the Jonathan Frid episode would be included in a future release and he just sent me this note in today's email:
Dick Cavett reads questions from the audience on little note cards. Someone
asks "When you had Jonathan Frid on your show last week, did he really bite you
and leave teeth marks on your hand?"
I thought this was a hoot! I remember when JF was on Merv Griffin, some rather dippy-looking dame appeared to be afraid he was going to bite her! Amusing as it seems now, I'm sure it was very tiresome for JF as a serious actor to have to put up with these antics during "those years of insanity."
I heard a rumor a year or two ago that a similar release of the Mike Douglas Show was being prepared, but heard nothing further regarding this.
Best wishes,
Gothick
