The late baseball icon Vin Scully took a swing at talk shows with his self-title CBS half hour in 1973, replacing The Amateur's Guide to Love. Unfortunately, Scully's 2nd daytime series (the original It Takes Two being the 1st) didn't last, either.
Clearly, CBS wanted to try something different, perhaps in answer to Dinah Shore's Dinah's Place, which aired in the morning on NBC.
Despite the cancellation, Scully would return to CBS to call NFL football for a couple of years before moving back to NBC to call baseball for much of the 80's.
The only episode available in its complete form is this nugget of joy with Carroll O'Connor (All in The Family), which includes a brief skit of Scully interviewing Archie Bunker (O'Connor), which leads to some Family footage.
