...Regis and Kathie Lee's PG-rated cheeky banter also made me feel like I was doing something vaguely untoward; more than any show I've ever watched, "Live!" made me want to dust off an as-yet-unread volume of Proust and heave my television out the window. I never stayed with the program long enough to see the duo sit down with a guest (many of whom were folks I found deeply uninteresting, like Burt Reynolds and Loni Anderson).

In each group's stage shows, nothing more untoward is going on than the obligatory bared torsos and an occasional semi-risque hip movement. Even Elvis Presley in his prime 4 1/2 decades ago was lewder. The song titles are self-explanatory: I Just Wanna Be with You, I Need Love, I'll Never Break Your Heart. Once in a while a kid may sing that he wants to be "your...
