RE: [TV orNotTV] Full Frontal is coming next Monday

Yes, same format, but the point being emphasized is that Full Frontal (which 
we’ve been led to believe was going to be a “late night” show) will be airing 
earlier than the 11:00pm east coast time that we’ve normally considered the 
dividing line between “prime time” and “late night.”  Last Week airs at 11, so 
there’s no ambiguity.

Would that model - on a different night - not be what Last Week Tonight on HBO 
is? A half-hour weekly show?

To be fair, I don't remember anyone explicitly stating the show would run 
weeknights after Conan, but calling the show a late night program and Bee a 
late night host made it really easy to infer as much.

 

The half-hour format isn't a big deal, TBS used that format with Pete Holmes.  
But weekly and pre-11 pm kind of expands the notion of an American late night

New TNT and TBS head Kevin Reilly may have new plans for those blocks, if not 
for Mondays.  Angie Tribeca is on Mondays at 9:30, and during the marathon TBS 
promoted several new comedies expected to air sometime this year.  This 
includes the other TBS show Bee is involved with, Detour.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Full Frontal is coming next Monday

2016-02-01 Thread 'David Bruggeman' via TVorNotTV 
It would fit with Last Week Tonight or Real Time in the once-weekly aspect.  
And as someone who doesn't have the premium cable channels, this is a blind 
spot of mine.
But the only other programs I can think of that were considered late night that 
aired before 11 pm would be The Jay Leno Show and various syndicated talk 
shows, but only in certain markets.
 
Either way, it wouldn't be the first time I'm overthinking something like this.

Sorry, I ellipsised too quickly and should have been clearer: For me,
"late-night" is about air time, not content. So Bill Maher doing the exact
same show an hour earlier takes him out of late-night for me.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Full Frontal is coming next Monday

2016-02-01 Thread 'David Bruggeman' via TVorNotTV 
Part of the expectation of a 'late night' show, besides the use of the phrase, 
was that the show was expected to be paired with Conan's.  Now it's true that 
Full Frontal is paired with the show, but just one night a week and as a 
lead-in.

And I'll say right now I do not expect this confusion on my part to influence 
whether or not I like the show.  I've enjoyed Samantha Bee's field pieces, 
which are a part of the show, and featured heavily in some programs.  I just 
expected to see a lot more of them than it turns out there will be.
