Three Intelligent Programs TV Needs to Bring Back

Herewith, 3 intelligent, entertaining programs TV studios should bring back, for our entertainment and their revenue. First up, an intelligent late night talk show. Please. Next up, a great song and dance program with great characters, writing and character development. Wouldn't that be nice? It also had a rather huge benefit and attraction of being really inclusive with And finally, they should bring back "Smash" or a version of it. Rather an adult form of "Glee" but again, with great characters, writing and character development. This adds the setting of New York City. Fantastic. By redoing these shows or doing versions of them, they'd be successful, very successful and gain viewers and so, revenue and we'd all have good things to watch again. Instead of "reality" shows. Ugh.

Open Letter to PBS

Dear PBS,

Why, oh why do you not give us, America, Americans, an intelligent nighttime talk show along the lines of the old "Dick Cavett Show"?

It was intelligent and adult and calm and elucidating and different and erudite, frequently funny and dependably, reliably wonderful.

We could do it again.

You could do it. You could do it again.

Go, find a new, the new Dick Cavett of and for our age.

Someone intelligent and educated but not off-putting who can and would, night after night, have wonderful, insightful conversations with people from all kinds of backgrounds. A brilliant, witty person who also isn't a sycophant to or about his guests. Someone both sophisticated and folksy who can and would relate to the most educated and most common of us all, the way Mr. Cavett did, night after night.

No one is doing anything remotely like it. It would be one of a kind, for sure. The other, major networks certainly aren't going to do it. You'd be all by yourself.

Again, you can do this. And only you can or would do it. Please. It would be, like the original, wildly successful.

We'll beg, if we must.

Entertainment Overnight -- Cavett
