I was a freshman in college and watched this all week when I got home after classes. I just about died laughing when I saw the bug-eyed expression on Chuck's face when Yoko started screaming. But he didn't miss a beat! Thank you for your review. You inspired me to get tickets to a showing in Waterville, Maine.
Great job, guys! I remember watching this as it was broadcasted back in February, 1972...I was almost 17. My Mom had a friend at the time who was very "square" and considered "old fashioned". She made a point of watching the Mike Douglas show every day - except that week LOL
I was 8, about to turn 9 three months later and I saw a couple of the shows. I remember this obscenely priced VHS set of the week that was out years ago. I'm still wishing it was on DVD.
Saw it as a kid. Mike was M.O.R. Milk Toast yet he had some great guests like John. Zappa, Sly, Moby Grape, etc. Never forget seeing Moe Howard after thinking he had passed.
Looking at the release of FM & AM by George Carlin released according to Wikipedia on January 27 1972, so the album was just a few weeks old when he appeared. Just looking at that week Paul McCartney was doing his University Tour across the UK, while Glyn Johns at Olympic Studios producing the debit album by Eagles. Also Harvest by Neil Young was released, and just fascinating what was happening in music and comedy at that point in time.
The live performance of Memphis Tennessee in 1972 might be one of the worst solo performances by a beatle ever. Yoko destroyed what should have been one of the most endearing moments in beatle history. Terrible performance
Jack paar was never rude to his guests. He was a great broadcaster. Mike Douglas was a middle of the road clueless hack. He sang a Paul song Michelle to John Lennon. His producers tried to have him sing ‘yer blues’ or ‘cold turkey’ to John but Mike wouldn’t hear of it and complained it wasn’t in his vocal range
John Lennon was always a contradiction. He sang give peace a chance while he threw a large rock through Paul mccartneys window in St. John’s wood. George Harrison once violently screamed at a Concorde flight attendant and nearly punched her when she interrupted his meditation to serve him complimentary tea
2024 “The year of John” with all these releases. Can’t wait to get the Blu-ray. Jack Parr was downright rude to some guests. Same with Letterman. Look for example how nasty Letterman was to Pia Zadora. Dated and nasty humor he had at times

TV was so much better back in the day
Moe Howard was a great treasure and helped America endure the Great Depression
