TV Thread - beware, [expletive] can get spoilery

My friend's just written a book about Saved By The Bell (Stuart Millard, Amazon-available ebook) and he's currently fuming that the cast keep doing things, making whatever ending he picked more irrelevant.

Screech killed a guy! Didn't see that one coming.

Adam Pally/Ben Schwartz' Late Late Show is pretty funny.

Yes!!!! What a great deconstruction of late night talk tv.

So, is Jay Cutler just like, a super putz or something?

Great question by Pally.

They were talking about this on the Grantland podcast. Basically why are we still making late night talk shows with desks, monologues, etc... And specifically why Conan went right back to that format after being fired.

I'm mystified by it too. Conan is so good with his improvised and/or remote bits. Why not center his show around that? I'm hoping Colbert doesn't do the same, but I'm guessing he will.

I didn't see Pally's guest stint, but it does sound like it might be difficult to capture on a nightly basis. Though I think on the podcast they were suggesting once a week.

I love Ben Schwartz and he was great as the sidekick. More than a sidekick he basically just pointed out how badly Pally was doing and how awkward everything was. It's funny, but I wouldn't watch it if it were a show.

At this point, late night talk shows are useful only for internet clips to watch in the bathroom at work the next day.

Well, that's true. I'm not watching them either. I can't with my tv situation, but even if I could I probably wouldn't.
