The three shows in this series each have their own charm.

In the first one, there is a hilarious opening with Dick trying out a special effects motion machine. The Ray Charles segment that follows meets all expectations, and Ray and Dick's conversation after the music shows their growing rapport. Tony Randall, another guest, is very funny as he describes a provocative new California trend, and Margaret Mead says more interesting and intelligent things in her first ten minutes than most of us say all year.

In the second one, Dick and Ray have the show to themselves. The music is great, and the conversation is heartwarming and very much up to the usual Dick Cavett show standard of intelligence.

In the last show in the series, there are three guests. For those of us who remember Mayor John Lindsay, it is great to see him again. Those who are too young to have seen him before will be charmed and encouraged that a government leader can actually be intelligent. Again, Ray's music is stirring, and Dr. Sam Rosen, an ear surgeon is very interesting to listen to.

Great selection. Thanks for notifying me. Of course I will order this DVD right away.

Why do we need complete shows? Meaning now it has to be 2 DVD's? Meaning now look at the price.

I bought this because I wanted to see ray talk, and we have people in our family with bad hearing, the credits on Amazon here say its Closed Captioned, no its not, Amazon, please remove that from your credits.

Also, to release a DVD in 2006, a TALK show no less, without Closed Captioned, is an automatic F+, flunk, zero stars, we just cant pick zero stars.

Also, who CARES about boring Tony Randal?!! And some fat ugly environment leftist whacko!!

This could of been paired down to just all Ray, and thus, One DVD.

and one of the all time dumbest segments on a DVD with no CC! , a "HEARING" doctor, Dr Rosen, talks about all things hearing, and NO closed caption availability! DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHH
