This September, Turner Classic Movies will air a one-time, one-hour Dick
Cavett Show special in which the famous TV talker will sit down with filmmaker and comedy legend Mel Brooks. The
special will be filmed before a live audience on an updated version of the set of the original series. In addition to
the new interview with Brooks, who is currently adapting his movie Young Frankenstein into a musical, TCM has
also secured the rights to Cavett's "classic" interviews with the likes of Robert Mitchum, Bette Davis,
Ingmar Bergman, Alfred Hitchcock, Woody Allen, Groucho Marx, and Katharine Hepburn. Those interviews will also air
during the month of September. Now I just have to remind myself to remind my Tivo to record the Woody Allen, Alfred
Hitchcock, and Groucho Marx episodes.The Dick Cavett Show returns (briefly)

I hope these classic shows are eventually released on dvd. My cable service doesn't carry TCM.
