I haven’t gone looking for other threads relating to [YouTube’s TVLEGENDS’s Channel](http://www.youtube.com/user/TVLEGENDS) and/or [its parent site](http://www.emmytvlegends.org/) but I would like to share how much I have enjoyed the hours I’ve spent hearing (in their own words) some of the really entertaining things about people like: Steve Allen James Arness George Carlin Tim Conway Robert Culp Roger Ebert James Garner Jerry Goldsmith Andy Griffith Earle Hagen Ron Howard Don Knotts Harvey Korman Tim Conway and Harvey Korman Sheldon Leonard Ed McMahon Bob Newhart Fess Parker Mike Post Tom Poston Carl Reiner Rob Reiner Tim Russert Paul Shaffer William Shatner Tom Smothers and Dick Smothers Ted Turner Dennis Weaver Andy Williams Jonathan Winters And others not on [the interviews list](http://www.emmytvlegends.org/interviews/people) If you have similar sites you can recommend or other interviewees you have enjoyed or if you want to comment on the concept in any way, please do. And if you know of other threads on this or similar topics, please provide links if you have them handy. ---

I’m a member, and I take umbrage at your description. 😉 If you’ll make a list of your “0 replies” threads that you don’t want tampered with, I’ll be sure to stay away from them. Somehow, I had the foolish idea that somebody might have an opinion on this topic. Over 600 have proved me wrong. ---

As late as this morning I have had occasion to offer responses to various threads dealing with actors’ histories and such by way of links to the YouTube clips with their interviews. This morning’s has been to Don Knotts. Seeing that this thread went to sleep almost immediately I don’t expect a new rush of activity, but I do think it’s worth a bump to see. If you have explored other interviews, beyond the ones I listed above, and have found them valuable, please share which ones they were. ---

A while back I watched Bob McGrath (Bob from _Sesame Street_) and Fred Rogers (_Mr. Rogers_). Both had very looong interviews but I have a big place in my heart for both shows, so I enjoyed the interviews immensely. I see now that there’s a [whole bunch of folks](http://www.emmytvlegends.org/interviews/shows/sesame-street) talking about _Sesame Street_, but I really enjoyed Bob because he has been there forever and is not a muppetter and not a behind-the-scenes person. Thanks for reminding me of this, I will bookmark it this time!
