I've made my distaste for the first 30-40 minutes of Ferguson's show apparent over on the AFL. I think the guy is one of the best interviewers on television, but the first portion of his show is unwatchable -- the monologue, while unique, is too rambling, and the skits suck like a Late Show band. But I agree that one of the biggest problems with the show for me is the piecemeal nature of it; it feels like they do twenty minutes one night, and hour and a half the next, fiteen minutes the third night, and then finish up all the rest on the fourth night. It feels too scattered. Dave's show has a lot of problems, but continuity and energy aren't among them. --Dave Sikula --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Like TV only smarter.
