Possibly assuming that Jack Paar sets up an audience of insomniac worriers, NBC has tacked Consult Dr. Brothers onto the end of the broadcast day (11:15 a.m.. weekdays). Dr. Joyce, who warmed up with a daytime show for a year, is the network's new way of bidding the country good night. Says she: "Our purpose is not to entertain...
