Some observations:
I'm always a little surprised when a season opener is as awful as this one

I'll have to take your word on this, since nothing short of being held at
gunpoint would make me listen to anything associated with Griffin. Left
unasked is why she hasn't been offered those prime gigs. Kudos to her for
making a career for herself, but I'd rather have nothing to do with her.
