Reply to comment by kianworld in Old talk shows like Johnny Carson, Dick Cavett, Letterman, etc. - can someone explain why the rights holders don't simply put every FULL episode (I know some of Carson's are forever gone) on YouTube and monetize them? by Swampfoot

I watch those sometimes. The musical acts by guests are usually totally edited out.

I also own a few different Carson mega-sets on DVD. The music is usually intact there (leading to higher costs), but there are also cheaper releases with few discs (1 to 3) with the same music edits as the TV airings on Antenna.
