Anyone think Ronan Farrow show is 'over produced,'

[elleng]

a bunch of segments forced upon him with which he tries hard to keep up/comply?

1. He's in over his head

Sort of like when they inserted Luke Russert into everything. He should be working on local radio on TV until gets the hangs of it.

2. there just ain't no way in this world that man is

Related to Woody Allen.
Haven't watched the show yet, figured I'd give him week or two to get acclimated.

3. I remember the first weeks of Rachel's show

it took a while to get everything ironed out...including the dynamics of her show.

4. Rachel had years of radio experience

aptly qualified for a nightly show.

6. Yes she did and she'd been on MSNBC several times before that

and I think she also used to appear on the Dennis Miller Show however, that doesn't mean that format doesn't need to get ironed out. She had that pop culture segment at the end of the show that clearly didn't work. She'd have Anna Marie Cox on a lot but then that stopped. She's continually tweaking her show.

5. It's better today than yesterday.....

He'll do fine if people just give him a little time to find his way. I really wish the best for this young man and I think he can deliver.

[elleng]

7. Ditto. I think HE's fine,

but that they've dumped too many 'silly' segments on him/in it. I do expect it to smooth out.

[Glimmer of Hope]

8. I think he is doing great. I like the mix of fluff and serious news.

11. Especially at lunch time. Many watch on their lunch hour and I did hear some nice feedback in

the coffee shop where only MSNBC is shown. People like him and the females think he's adorable.

9. I think that the show could benefit by having a co-host with more experience.

I don't want another show that duplicates "The Cycle" but it is going to take awhile for him to establish credibility, particularly among older people.

I wish him the best because he is bright and talented, but I also wonder if he might be considered "eye candy" by some. And FWIW, there are already threads on DU that would cause concerns about objectification if they written about a woman:

10. That's how I felt when Rev Al's show started on MSNBC.

Give the kid some time, he'll get better at it.

[elleng]

12. I'm giving the 'kid' plenty of time,

and hope the producers will observe carefully. He does his juggling well, imo, but I feel bad they're subjecting him to all this. But I notice that some DUers like the jumble! Takes all kinds!
