It was ‘eh’. The best part of PI was that you knew that one (or two) panalists wasn’t taking it seriously and it gave the show a lighter air about it.
In this show the panalists are serious about it, and you get the sense that its more CNN and less entertainment anymore.
Hell, if I really wanted news and talking heads, I already have a bunch of newschannels to pick from.
Big time agree with ISiddiqui.
I don’t like watching pundits like Coulter with Maher because they’ve shown up to play a part, and they’re going to play it. I prefer the old format’s ability to get (comparatively) normal people with unrehearsed opinions to talk about issues.
Coulter can’t shock me no matter how much she tries because I know that she’s studied all of the issues and determined her “eye-opening” stance on them ahead of time.
I would have liked more Larry Miller. I thought Silverman was really funny.
It’s funny, stolichnaya, that people complained about the people that don’t know anything about politics (Hell, I might have been one of them ;)), but those people made the show see more off-the-cuff and lighter.
With the pundits you DO get the feeling they’ve rehearsed their positions before. I never noticed until now about Coulter, and how she purposely tries to shock.
You took the words right off my keyboard. This no-talent, brainless hack should be on local-access cable somewhere…or, if there were any justice, in a cardboard box under the freeway.
