The Dick Cavett Show, which was televised on ABC from 1969 to 1975, has long been a prime candidate for DVD release, but only Shout! Factory has been trusted to get it right. Working closely with Mr. Cavett, Shout! Factory has put together a series of DVD releases which present his most important and entertaining episodes, with guests from the worlds of literature, art, politics, sports, comedy, theatre, film and music.

When comedian and writer Cavett joined the late night talk show parade in 1969, his intelligent wit pumped a needed breath of fresh air into the format. His show offered guests a forum for controversial opinions and didn’t shy away from an occasional debate about women’s liberation or the war in Vietnam. During his TV run, Cavett's guests included some of the most fascinating people of the 20th Century including Katharine Hepburn, Truman Capote, Jacques Cousteau, Jimi Hendrix and Salvador Dali, to name a but a few.
