    New Carson Collection?!?

    I wouldn't expect (and probably wouldn't want) complete eps. There would be way too much to bother with in order to get to the good stuff. That's why I'd advocate for edited versions featuring the highlights. The best bits from the monologues, the main interview, the comedian. I doubt we'll...

    New Carson Collection?!?

    An entirely new syndicated version of the Tonight Show needs to be created and include not just the sketches but also hightlights of monologues, interview segments, stand-up comedians and, in a perfect world, musical performances. It's a disgrace that this legendary show with tons of available...

I know the first decade or so of Johnny's run was destroyed but wouldn't that leave a good 20 years worth of great material ? So where is it ? At the very least they could...

Aside from the DVD's and a brief run of edited eps that aired on PPV, the legacy of this show has truly been wasted. Why oh why isn't someone going through all the old eps...

    New Carson Collection?!?

    No, I don't agree. The Tonight Show like any variety-oriented show was inconsistent in quality. Why would I want to fast forward through useless segments of an entire episode when I could get wall-to-wall clips that are actually worth watching ? Besides, you aren't likely to see entire eps...

    New Carson Collection?!?

    I understand that releasing the musical performances would be a licensing nightmare but why hasn't the Carson estate been assembling classic interviews on disc ? I have the previous huge box set that came out and it didn't add up to nearly as much as you might think. Each disc only had a small...
