(ABC Daytime, 1968 - 1969)
[original title: "This Morning";
This was the first of several talk and variety shows hosted
by the genial witty intellectual comedian from Nebraska, who
was a devoted fan and friend of Groucho Marx in his later
years, and a friend of Woody Allen from his early career;
This was the only one of Cavett's shows which was not originally
named for him, and which was broadcast in the mornings; it
quickly became apparent that his wit and style was more
suitable for Primetime and late Nighttime;
this short-lived ABC series is not to be confused with the
CBS news series also titled "This Morning" with Bob Schieffer
and later Charles Kurault which aired 1979 - 82; This series
was the temporary title of the CBS Morning News during those
years; and was a lighter more feature-oriented show in the
style of "CBS Sunday Morning" which Kurault hosted later...]

PBS and a short-lived revival in 1986 on ABC, which see;
Although only Leonard Bernstein is listed in the filing
for copyright below, ASCAP also lists a number of others
in its database as credited composers of the Overture; but
