Oh. My. This show might be the worst thing I’ve ever seen. I cannot decide if the acting is worse than the writing or vice-versa. Whoever conceived of this unholy abomination has never read a book or watched a movie or is even remotely aware about the Wild West. It’s like a small town community

I'm honestly startled to see it's that popular, since it's a truly terrible show. Poor writing, basic direction, ugly cinematography, and miserable characters. What's to like? --Dave Sikula -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group. To

Lorne Michaels has a two-part interview on the “Fly on the Wall” podcast with Dana Carvey and David Spade. Although the two 50-minute episodes could easily be trimmed to one 70-minute episode if they took out all the Lorne butt-kissing, it’s still worth listening to for Lorne’s perspective. He

Once we got to Richard Simmons DreamMaker, I basically gave up on daytime talk. In the age of streaming content, I fail to see the appeal of poorly produced, low quality content, not just for daytime or housewives but for any demographic at any time of day. I suppose if you just need background

I think over my lifetime daytime television has shifted a fair amount, whereas late night was typically a talk show and syndicated/rerun programming over the same period of time.  The changes there were in how many talk shows there were/are. Both game shows and soap operas have shrank

I respect that lots of people like programming that I don’t (and Vice versa), but not why linear television seems more resistant to rampant decline in some day parts and not others. You seem to be suggesting that age is a factor; the older audiences who watch TV in the day are less likely to cut

Different audiences for different times--and you and I are not the target audiences for those shows. Another main difference is that Colbert and Fallon don't do cooking and fashion segments (well, if Colbert does, it's either Martha Stewart or his friend Jose Andres), which to a certain extent
