    It probably wasn't all that different from a lot of early television
    shows.  The early Today Show, for example, where Dave Garroway sat at a
    desk with monitors behind him and a lot of clocks showing the time in
    various cities.

    Or "You Bet Your Life," which actually was a radio show shown on
    television, Groucho sitting at a high desk with a microphone in front of
    him and contestants standing at floor mics.  Yet YBYL did well on
    television and Breakfast Club didn't.
