The stars should be the stars
by BPG on 4/26/24Dolby Theatre - HollywoodWe saw 2 of the shows: The Morning Show and Curb Your Enthusiasm. TMS was at best a 3 star review because the moderator thought the audience was there to see and hear her, especially her political opinions (one of the writers also thought it was a political event). She would interrupt the actors to tell stories about herself and her experiences...over and over again. When the stars of TMS actually were able to talk and share experiences the show was very good. When the moderator or the writer spoke, the show went sideways. Curb, on the other hand was definitely a 5 star review. Judd Apatow (the moderator) kept things light and flowing. He would raise a topic and get out of the way, only interjecting when appropriate - the way a moderator should fulfill their role. The stars and the producer were great. They gave a lot of behind the scenes info on the show and kept things very light and funny. The Curb experience was exactly what a Paley Fest experience should be like.
