rubaco August 24, 2014 Share August 24, 2014 It was on this weekend too? I caught it on Thursday. I feel like it was, originally, either 90 minutes or 2 hours, but the version they showed Thursday was an hour. It was a little tough to watch now.

sinkwriter February 14, 2015 Share February 14, 2015 Loved the Neil Patrick Harris interview, but I actually wish James had spent a little more time talking with Neil about his experience playing Doogie Howser. He was only 16 years old, leading a show, and I really loved him as Doogie. I think they did it a disservice by simply treating it as if it was "Doogie was an underage doctor by day, horndog teenager who wants to have sex with his girlfriend by night..." That's really not what the show was for me when I watched it back then. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/13609-inside-the-actors-studio-general-discussion/#findComment-824738

Crs97 May 3, 2015 Share May 3, 2015 The first season or so I felt like I was watching an acting class. The questions were fascinating, and I felt like I learned so much about the craft. I loved it! Then, as the seasons continued and the caliber of guests lessened, I felt like I was watching a really long promo for whatever movie the guest was promoting. By the time James got to Julia Roberts I realized he had completely run out of anyone who had anything meaningful to teach to the students. I don't know that I have watched more than a handful since, which makes me sad because for awhile I counted the days for the next show. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/13609-inside-the-actors-studio-general-discussion/#findComment-1102744

I love this show. The discussions are so fascinating! I hope that no matter who takes the hosting baton, they will continue to close out the program with the Bernard Pivot questions.

sadie November 5, 2019 Share November 5, 2019 Without Lipton this is almost unwatchable. He had a way of asking questions and keeping the actor on track so we understood their craft. With this new format I notice the actors just ramble on and on, and maybe it’s because they have other actors interviewing them that maybe they don’t want to be too forceful or interrupt but the interviews just aren’t focused. I really wanted to hear from Pacino but he just kept veering so far off track that he lost my interest and Godfather is one of my top 5 favorite films. It may be time to retire this series if they can’t find a permanent host that knows what they are doing. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/13609-inside-the-actors-studio-general-discussion/#findComment-5726924

meep.meep November 13, 2019 Share November 13, 2019 I finally watched (or started to watch) the Pacino episode. I made it half way through. I don't think the fault necessarily lays with the interviewer. For all we know Lipton let the guests ramble on and on. This falls on the producers. The Pacino episode needed to be edited severely and wasn't. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/13609-inside-the-actors-studio-general-discussion/#findComment-5747596

I find the rotating hosts super annoying and the show has lost all sense of continuity. The Pacino episode was a complete wreck, IMHO. Lipton did have a way of getting things out of his interviews whereby it felt new and refreshing, and helped us understand the actors. This setup now just feels like a bunch of "fan-girling or fan-boying" for the sessions. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/13609-inside-the-actors-studio-general-discussion/#findComment-5789742
