Awesome! I'm going to miss her on the show. She brought a lot of creativity to SNL. I hope she does well with John Mulaney's new show.

The show started very well but felt like it went nowhere from about a third of the way through. Certainly a lot better than most new shows nowadays but that isn't saying much. Kinda glad it's getting a second season, not sure if I'll watch it.

Thought Psycho Pass (also from last year) was much stronger show and generally more interesting from a conceptual point of view. Really enjoying new Mushishi at the moment.

It is smart for all new (show/serie)s to do this with their pilots. Starz did it too with their own.

The pilot for his new show, "Dads", was terrible, but I still like him.

The last question and the answer to it was really great. If you want to succeed in show business, you have to have that "show must go on" attitude where you just don't rest until the shit is done, a genuine interest about the subject and the message. Even if it's a commercial for a local car dealer, that motivation will shine thru. If you don't have that, you're in the wrong line of work. I've never met anyone who has that passion and care to not get a job in the industry and i've seen a lot of arrogant and talented people fail miserably.

That being said, you have to use some elbows every once in a while, step on some toes and be confident of what you do. I'm advancing step by step just because of that genuine care about the message, have only got good reviews (so far, fingers crossed...) Every time i get a new show to do, i'm just so grateful to have that chance, seeing the look on peoples faces when something you did makes them dry or laugh.. That 5 seconds of shared emotion cures all pains.

Idea for a new show... "Top Cops"


edit: Crickets? This is some of my best stuff! "Top Cops: Austin"?

they block a video that in fact promotes a new show, and then they complain piracy is what's killing the entertainment industry. what a bunch of fucking idiots.

Such an underrated new show.

Definitely worth watching.

That Yes or No part was silly. A politician can't make promises like that, and to conclude that the answer must be yes is unfair. I'm glad Cenk went back to his YouTube-only format. Reading scripts to a camera is not his way.
That said, he still has some stupid arguments with guests on his YT show. Case in point: http://videosift.com/video/TYT-pratt-defends-zimmerman-and-cenk-loses-
it. IMO that interview was much worse. I wish he wouldn't do that. It takes away his credibility.>> ^Sotto_Voce:
On his internet show, Cenk used to have good debates with conservatives because he would remain calm and allow them to speak while still putting forward his case forcefully. You really got a sense that he was interested in having a conversation rather than using his guest as a foil for his own argument. See his interview of John Ziegler, for instance.
Now it seems like he's decided that the way to make it on cable TV is to turn into a liberal version of O'Reilly, and that's sad. Take, for instance, his ridiculous "ANSWER THE QUESTION! YES OR NO!" tactic. I hate that. There are often answers that are more complicated than just a straight yes or a no, and to demand that they be simplified just encourages a dumbing down of the discourse. I'm on Cenk's side on the substance here, but his style was really annoying.



Jesus, that is a horrible interview. But it looks like that's from his Current TV show, so it's consistent with my "TV is ruining Cenk" hypothesis. I never thought he was a particularly profound analyst, but AFAIK he wasn't always this ridiculous. I really think he's deliberately going down the route of garnering attention by providing red meat for the base. Maybe that is the way to be successful on cable news, but it's still pathetic.

Honestly, are there any good hosts on cable news? Maddow is pretty smart, but her constant snark is a little grating. Lawrence O'Donnell does the whole outrage thing a bit too much, although he does it infinitely better than Cenk. I like the format of Chris Hayes' new show a lot, but he really comes across as a smarmy tool. The best I can think of is Fareed Zakaria. Anderson Cooper is decent too, but he covers too much fluff.

Talk abouty a shitty trailer !
Somebody thought editing meant splicing random .5 sec shots together one after the other.
Too bad.

You're right, but I still want to see the show based solely on the previous Battlestar Galactica series.
I actually watched, and sort of enjoyed Caprica- must have been the only one though. I feel that show was cancelled before it got its feet under it. Hopefully this new show will be the one that science fiction fans have been waiting for.


You're not alone in liking Caprica, I thought it was pretty darn good

I also think this one looks awesome too, despite the crappy epileptic trailer.

@Porksandwich I was really disappointed when they cancelled SGU, I was really in to it.

Oh I'm with you there, I'm such a big fan of BSG that this won't stop me from watching it :-)>> ^therealblankman:

The Church of Scientology runs Al Anon cause they do want to brainwash people ... but not all support groups are run like this

Also, Dr Drew is a good guy. I enjoy his new show because its so cute how he really tries to help people, then realizes he is supposed to be eating their souls for ratings. Its quite a format change from his usual take-it-or-leave-it consultations.

Napolitano has been very successful at bringing a certain class of conservative that normally would despise the channel into the FOX fold. I predict he will remain a part of the FOX family, and possibly get a whole new show.
