Damn, do you people know how different television used to be? And by "different" I mean "better". Watch it, listen to how they talk, how eloquent and polite they are. Their accents are noble, their arguments are refined. They're ready to hear each other.
How did we come from that to the modern late night shows? What the fuck did go wrong?

Hey Boomer Remover, you missed one.
I think Dick Cavett was one of a kind, in a league of his own thats for certain.
Dick Cavett show is pure boomer kino. That guy is so awkward during interviews, but that's the charm.
People were smarter, more attentive, and less neurotic/fucked up by drugs, or more specifically less neurotic due to drugs abused by their parents. This era was around the time where civility and dignity started to disappear.
No you just found the rare boomer kino that is Dick Cavett
>70s
>less fucked up by drugs
The absolute what? You have to go back to the 50s to find people not fucked by drugs.

Back then, people were still imitating the white elites to some extent. Now they're more likely to imitate low class black people.
It's the sign of a civilization in decline, like how young Romans started to imitate the Goths.
There was not yet enough data on audiences. It was assumed that people were generally somewhat intelligent.
>What the fuck did go wrong?
Easy, what you presented doesn't generate half the views two screaming assholes do. Nothing more.
Dick Cavett was born in 1936. The boomers of the 70s, the ones with their own talk shows, grew up in the 50s.
This is one of the last videos on Youtube that dares question the "holocaust". The rest have been censored.
>talking about sterilizing blacks on tv

This was back when television wasn't pandering to anyone specific, before they realized the sheer numbers of braindead retards, who would watch any kind of low effort garbage to keep them from thinking about the sad waste they call a life.
Today you need to market whatever your creating to the lowest common denominator between obese mouthbreathers and people with several chromosomes too many, as this audience requires basically 0 effort to make money off.
>so, eddie, are you offended by the word NIGGER!?
Truly it was a different time
People have always been misanthropic and aimed for the lowest common denominator, guy. Edward Bernays got the ball rolling on monetizing it to the nth degree.
I think if anything people's attention spans have been perceived to have decreased even more since the 70s so fewer people want to bother resisting that cynicism.
AHHHHHHHH A different time...
heroin was still big in the 50's
The episode with Norman Mailer and Gore Vidal is hilarious. Even immature bitchfests were more eloquent back then
I enjoy Columbo.
That is all.
Mostly for women right?
as do all patricians. the sun never set on the british empire, and the sun never sets on columbo in tv scheduling.
it is on right now somewhere
Dick Cavett is comfy. I've seen lots of his interviews while pretending to work.
Gore Vidal was the original cuck
What a man, what I wouldn't give to have a hundredth of his presence
all his interviews with Orson are worth watching
and jazz musicians
meme free period
sincerity only
Amazing video, thank you for sharing.
Post your favourite Dick Cavett interviews
I've found that my accent is starting to change because I've been exclusively watching old movies.
It comes in waves desu. Joe rogan is the guy, then jon Stewart then before that arsenio hall..
Its just most of these guys are "liberal" for their time but appear moderate to you
Real answer: Only richer people had TVs so TV pandered to those who considered themselves highbrow and who knew the English language.
No, they were into amphetamines.
>Only richer people had TVs
Maybe in 1940s. Definitely not in 1970s.
Columbo is the ultimate working man hero, going alone against the criminal establishment and outwitting it, putting forward the inevitability of equal justice. That's why he's still so beloved by many.
SAGE AND SNEED .. Nothing to do with Board but ruining good chat
you'd have to go way farther back than that since amphetamines, barbiturates, and especially fucking alcohol were all commonly used in the 1950s
gee I wonder
and in the 19th century they had opium.
You're partly right we expected more from people back then. Very few people were on mind altering prescriptions like today.
Dick Cavett was the best. He has class, was knowledgeable and didn't interrupt people every five seconds like the gay-ass talk show hosts we have today.
>we expected more from people back then
conformity to social norms was expected. it just happened that during that era in the media that included not being a retard.
other things you were expected to conform to: being drafted to fight in the Vietnam War, being the Strong Silent Type, etc. there are pros and cons.
Jews, Niggers and Spics. They cant compete with society so they change it to the lowest denominators so they can "Fit In". Freaks.
Shabat shalom, I guess.
that was just Dick Cavett's show, and that's why he had the guests that he had, even Marlon Brando agreed to be in it, he knew it wasn't shit and Dick was pretty cool
>oy vey white men and women were expected to make sacrifices and raise families, we can't have that!

To name a few
black culture
White America couldn't be controlled fast enough so they said fuck it and just replaced it with foreigners.
>Gore Vidal was the original cuck
I could be wrong but I thought 'cuck' (abbreviated from cuckold) was a heterosexual term in which case user you are WAY fucking wrong in applying it to Gore "I love to lick another man's anus" Vidal
>You could smoke on tv
>you could smoke in bars
>Cant do either today
God I would give anything to smoke in bars
People used to care about chess? lol what a bunch of nerds lmfao!
You can in South Africa or Germany
it's disgusting
But why is that? Why would you want to watch chaos that achieves nothing over a civil discussion where you might learn something?
His wife was pretty hot too.
It’s funny that his show was technically a late night show, but it’s rarely lumped in with that genre because it was so vastly different from the typical late night format.
Scorsese and De Palma talk one was bizarre to watch knowing how opposite they were later in life

Dick is a legit autist. He talked openly about being an awkward introvert on his show and has a dyslexic gift for rearranging words and names automatically.
You didn't need a prescription back then.
compare the highest grossing movies of the 70s to today aswell
Interview kino?

I dont think people realize how important this is
Will he get a sticky when he dies?
Please, television these days is total garbage.
