HarryCarter Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 This is too momentous for the the DVR alerts thread... The new channel, Decades TV, has started airing old episodes of The Dick Cavett Show. On March 3, they will be airing the 1971 episode with Lucy, Lucie, and Carol Burnett. It is a wonderful show! The show is scheduled to air on Thursday, March 3 at 11:30am, 5:30pm, and 11:30pm EST. It's a 90 minute timeslot, so hopefully it will be presented unedited. The first segment has someone on connected to the Joe Frazier/Muhammad Ali fight. If any editing is done, hopefully it will be that segment. Lucy is actually the final guest. She was late for the taping for some reason and Lucie was the first guest, followed by Carol. There's still plenty of interesting conversation between the three of them. I don't get the Decades channel! Hulu has added Cavett episodes to their site. Hopefully this one will end up there too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvsbway Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Let us know if you see it on Hulu as I don't get Decades. What I've seen of this interview I've loved. Especially Lucy’s flair for the dramatic with her failed suicide attempt story. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvsbway Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 She got let go from a chorus line in NYC in the early days. After crying her way down the street she thought she'd end it all by getting hit by a car. But a nice one like a limo. So she steps out in front of one on 5th Ave but the car just stops.

Is this the one where Lucy tells the story of being so broke and depressed in New York (pre-Hollywood) that she thought of throwing herself in front of a limo and Dick says "if that had happened, I'd be talking to an empty chair" To which quit-witted Lucie added "TWO empty chairs!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryCarter Posted February 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 They did just the one Cavett show together and, yes, this is the "TWO empty chairs" interview. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leenorman Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 I'm calling THAT pretty QUICK-WITTED, but, chilling in its meaning; wonder what remark(s) were made post-THAT statement; we would never have known the greatest female comedian to this point in history!!!! I could go on; but, it would, then, become wayyyyyyy too personal...... Respectfully submitted.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get Decades and love watching these Cavett shows. Sometimes they only show 1 hour shows, so I am glad they are showing the full 90 minutes of this show.

mickie Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 In honor of Desi's Birthday today, Decades is showing 2 episodes of ILL and one episode of Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour. Then after that they are showing 2 Lucy Shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvsbway Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 I hope they are first half of the first season of TLS or it wouldn't make much sense. But good for them for doing this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, for some reason they showed the episode with Frankie Avalon and then Lucy Gets A Diploma (not sure why these were picked). They also showed 2 Desilu productions - Mission Impossible and the Untouchables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
