Mostly because if you remember shows from the 60s and 70s (as l do) you likely have no idea who today's celebs are! Nobody under a certain age knows who Sandy Duncan is, of course.
Hey Dick, If you read this...just know that we love you. You are the best. Your show was so entertaining and enlightening. We miss that. Merry Christmas, Mr. Cavett. :)
I swear to God, some time during the last, say 20 or 30 years, the USA has regressed in its progress in civilization. I haven't watched any of the new talk shows because they are so scripted and lack the wonderful natural rapport (or lackthereof!), ad libs, and on the spot commentary that shows like this had.
Totally agree with YOU, Marilyn Monday. When I see people casual to such an extreme as to walk into a grocery store in their pajamas, yet me "casually dressed" in slip on dress shoes, button down tie, and chinos feeling out of place as if I wore a morning suit with long tails and top hat, I feel I was born into the wrong time. Cheers, Marilyn! May there be many more people like you!
@@jamie.777 I promise, unless you're loitering and waiting for someone who isn't there yet or has already said not to worry about it, 98% of the time we'll say thank you for that. A dude holding a door for 30+ seconds before you even get to it is creepy, and thanks to men, women sometimes read the situation and become afraid for their safety if a dude is putting a little too much time into a quick gesture. It's much more rare for a door being opened to offend anyone than it garnering a thank you. That generalization's generally used as an excuse for rudeness, making a point of NOT opening doors, more often, as we see here. Life is more nuanced than you're implying with your blame and rhetoric.
@@jamie.777 yeah, you're not someone who knows what "charming" means. I can't help you not be an awful human being, but I do hope you'll stay farrrrr away from me!
At :45 , sometimes even stars need to fart! "Free and uninhibited", indeed! LOL. Sandy was adorable, I like her even more after this interview. As someone who grew up in E. Texas, I agree with Ralph. We were NOT part of "Dixie", at least not the progressive, technology-loving N. Dallas where I grew up. Nader was always ahead of his time, and it's tragic that more folks didn't heed his words. My uncle talked about him a lot, and he voted for Nader for president. I think Ralph would have made an excellent leader, but corporate America and the Industrial Military Complex would never have allowed that to happen. Ralph Nader still has a radio program, which I listen to on public radio, and is still providing us with cold hard facts and truths most ignore. What a pity!
@@gazriley624 She had a glass eye here, because a disease caused her to lose one. Don't know what happened to her, I remember her being very sweet and funny and all over TV back then.
We need more talk shows like this. I might be wrong, but not a single person was selling anything in this clip. Just sitting around and, well, talking.
Texas is really like a whole other country (pun intended); it's so big that it's impossible to characterize anything about it in a nutshell. It was initially populated by Mississippi ex-pats (while it was still part of Mexico), and so it does have many strains of the old South running through it. Parts of it are also very western, and while it's generally been considered a conservative stronghold, there are many very liberal areas of the state, mostly urban centers, and they are growing all the time. But this segment was filmed long before most of that was true... Have to admit that I did not know that Cavett was from Nebraska. With that patrician affect and outlook, I'd always imagined him to be the scion of some upstate New York old money...I stand corrected.
Cavett and Sandy really didn't seem to appreciate Ralph's point that "shell corporations" were a major cause of the problems impacting their lives. All these decades later shell corporations have become a much bigger disaster, even a threat to the existence of functioning society. Ralph already knew the extent of the threat at the time of this entertainment show decades ago.
i have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason or Art Carney? How about any Honeymooners actors that were part of the main cast? These are rare much like the other Cavett ones.

Talk shows back then were great. Todays talk shows are unwatchable.

Keep these Sandy Duncan interviews coming ... I love them ...
Her outfit is EVERYTHING! What a fun interview. When the pace was slower, times were simpler, and people could just talk.
Wow she's very beautiful.
This show seems like it had integrity.
Very unlike the joke of today's people

I wish people were still so dang charming 🥰

had a huge crush on Sandy Duncan when I was a kid - something about her just made me crazy
Lol "I'm shy around girls", "I know...", "I'm not...", I know" that's the funniest response!

what was supposed to be wrong with her eye? they look ok to me

Congratulations on not having been a part of Dixie. We’re all very impressed and your superiority has duly been noted.
I voted for Nader, twice.
@@williamh3566 that's god damn good
Wow Ralph Nader was good looking at that age!

Sandy is adorable! I love that dress. I only ever saw her on The Hogan Family.
a ray of sunshine sitting next to a dark ass cloud
How ironic is that right after Sandy talks about the Nebraska critic that Nader (who is from Connecticut) corrects her about being from Dixie?

She blazed to rass
The best part was when Bobby Fischer came on
I did not realize Sandy Duncan ever had hair like that. I did not see her till she was doing Trisket commercials and Peter Pan. She is a babe.
It's a wig, I think, she mentions being ill. I know nothing about her, she's interesting.
@@standay3644 🤔 I thought she shilled for Wheat Thins...❓😕
@@ModMokkaMatti You are right. Wheat Thins.
She was America's TV sweetheart around 1970. Easy to understand why. Disney later picked her up for films.
@@ModMokkaMatti that's a euphemism, right?
The “fake news” discussion begins at 4:42.
She acts like she’s trippin’. lol 😆

A young Nader
i have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason or Art Carney? How about any Honeymooners actors that were part of the main cast? These are rare much like the other Cavett ones.
Fake news? Like writing a book exaggerating flaws in cars and when you're proven wrong "oh well let's not make a big deal out of this".
So, Sandy does not understand a word of what Nader just said. Lol

Sandy wearing a wig,what up with that?
She'd recently had surgery when this interview was done (which they referred to) - a tumor behind her eye.
She had to wear a wig for about a year after her surgery.
Her wig is ridic.
ridic is saying the word ridic
