There's enough high-quality material they could keep spitting out closely-vetted, tightly-edited clip packages for a very long, lucrative period of time.

I just feel compelled--as we all have been watching the soap opera surrounding Jay & Conan about the future of The Tonight Show franchise--to say, again, that the Carson estate is missing out on a huge opportunity by not re-releasing ANY of Johnny's material from the vault. The longer they...

HERE is Dave Lambert's view on this release from over at TVShowsonDVD.com

It's "Deja vu all over again." :o( A "new" Carson Collection of rehashed rehash. This is another situation which gets more ridiculous with each passing year as the audience which loved and revered Johnny continues to get smaller and smaller. I'll meet you all again back here in another...

Shame on me for not checking in with Dave on this issue, Anthony. Thanks! :emoji_thumbsup: That must be, then, the bonus disc, inside the box. We gotta get some new material, Carson estate! Think of the money to be made! Even my 18-year old son, who was raised in a completely...

C'mon in, kids. It's that time of the year again to revel in some major disappointment regarding Johnny Carson's legacy on DVD. Just in time for the holiday shopping season, my local BJs Wholesale Club has gotten in about a dozen copies of the big Carson DVD Collection ($59.99). It includes...

That post of mine I've quoted is from April. And it's deja vu all over again. According to my ol' buddy Dave Lambert @ tvshowsondvd.com...the Carson Estate is doing it again. Except this time it's all previously released stuff...and packaged with an MSRP of $99.99. Personally I would LOVE...

Whoever that guy was who made that dumbass decision to throw those out... IIRC, NBC was worried they were running out of storage space in a warehouse. :rolleyes =================== It's great that the Broadcasting Museums have these...but I don't ever see me getting to view any that...

Too bad, Andy. I would love a copy of a show from the early 70s which I used to have an audio copy of (might still in some form, actually) in which In Johnny's monologue he told a joke about a Nixon White House dinner at which, since times were tight and they were "cutting back" at the White...

The estate will sell clips from the shows in the archives...with time-code burnt-in...@ $500 a pop? :eek: Why would they do that? And they were selling complete shows? Same deal? Time code burnt-in? I missed all this.

I think of what some companies such as Image or Shout Factory have been able to put together of TV shows without nearly the amount of quality material to work with as this situation presents. This is shameful. What a chance to give a new generation of fans the opportunity to get "up close...

Well...here we are a few months later and TVShowsonDVD.com is heralding yet another new release from the Carson estate. Unfortunately...a close look at the covers shows the same old stuff that's already been released a bunch of times. :angry: Those covers clearly show "Animal Hijinks"...

:frowning:

Thanks for sharing, Jeff.

Andy: I'm very interested in this. Can you tell us more about that episode? Do they include the opening and monologue? Or is it just the guest segments? I only know what I've seen on the anniversary shows...and that was limited to the cigarette flicking and the infamous Gobel line which brought...

Bob: Your mind is sharper than mine. That was exactly the trap I fell into. And, a little further research proves you are, indeed, right. So, "Tonight Show Memories" is just a condensed version of the Ultimate Collection. :thumbsdown: Hopefully, that is only a small portion of the new...

I just don't see how complete episodes would make sense either...except maybe in special circumstances. But, then, they already seem to have done that with the "lost episode" disc of the 3-6-69 show. Maybe they could release some of the anniversary shows...but I'm not sure how much further ahead...

Okay...LOTS of NEW information courtesty of homemediaretailing.com. Best news is that the new set is NOT supposed to duplicate material from the original "Ultimate" 3-disc set! :emoji_thumbsup:

I recently watched an old VHS tape of my own on which I had recorded an old Letterman "Late Night" anniversary show (done in Radio City Music Hall). He had Bill Murray on as a guest and set up a clip of Murray's first appearance on Late Night Show #1. However, he showed the infamous clip of Ed...

Yeah...but when Johnny was around, he showed no interest in releasing the vast amounts of stuff in the vault. On his show, he constantly mourned the decision to diestroy all his early stuff...including his premiere show with Groucho, Joan Crawford, Tony bennett, etc. But, he also never did much...

It's kinda sad that Dick Cavett has been completely outshining Carson in the DVD market.

He is this guy: Sorry, but its the best picture I can find. He dabbled as a talk show host in the 70s and was one of Johnny's regular foils in the various skits he did. I suppose most often you'd see him as a member of the press when Johnny was doing his Reagan impersonation. He was also the...

Time for a gratuitous Carol Wayne shot: There was just something about her... :D

Not me. I avoided those shows like the plague. While I enjoyed Johnny's skits as part of the 90-minute and 60-minute shows....I didn't think they held up well by themselves. For me, the whole point of the Tonight Show was the monologue, the desk segment with Ed, and the spontaneous banter with...

[Moderators: Sorry. This should be in the Software/TV forum.] It looks as if the trustees of the Carson estate have decided to issue a new (?) collection of Tonight Show material from the Carson years. Retailers are showing a release date of 11-7-2006. I checked the official Carson site...
