Who wants Talk Show Network?

I had an idea that I thought was pretty friggin' original...

What with the game show channel, animal channel, cooking channel...

We're missing a talk show channel. Wouldn't it be cool if someone came out with a talk show channel? You could see all those old Letterman, O'Brien and Carson shows. If you were a fan of Regis, you could see him and Oprah in the mornings. To me, I think this would be absolutely fantastic. I want to see the original footage of Kaufman throwing coffee in the King's face. Uncut, Whole, Original.

I think this could be bigger than Emeril. Seriously.

Gimme a yea, nea, or twik my nips.

I'd love to see the old Letterman shows. I remember E! used to show them nightly a few years ago - that was great.

Sorry, I can't bring myself to watch Trio. I would lose all self respect.

Unless they run Howard Stern unedited and uncensored, I couldn't care less about it. That is the only talk show I watch.

Yes, but only if I get Letterman, Jon Stewart (his MTV and syndicated shows), Carson (what's available) and Dick Cavett (both the Carson-style show and the more intimate one from the later 70's).

And NO Joey Bishop.

I'de like the old Jerry Springer shows when they would let them fight. Staged or not some of those fights were hilarious. The transexuals (sp) were always the best fighters *note to self * Never fight a chick with a d*ck.

I've always wanted to be able to see old talk shows, mainly The Jon Stewart and old Conan. I'm actually surprised there's not more niche cable channels out there. As soon as I heard about the golf channel, I was really expecting a flood of channels with very specific topics.
