possibilities January 22 Share January 22 I liked last night's show. And I thought Taylor's opening commentary was more lucid than a lot of what else is out there. I don't usually go to her for current events insight, but she's not as conditioned by fear of offending people as some of the usual suspects, so I think that helped her just tell it like she sees it without worrying about who was going to approve it? In any case, good for her. I thought the panelists were fun together, it was more high energy than suual and less wasting time. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/149318-season-2-discussion/page/3/#findComment-8561258

iMonrey January 30 Share January 30 How long has this show been back? It hasn't been recording for me until last night. I like Kurt Braunohler and Kristen Schaal. Reggie Watts is a lot though. He had a few good jokes but he seems like a real attention hog. Had to take a long pause every time he buzzed in.

I wonder what RF is doing these days, and whether they haven't asked him, or if he's refused them.

I notice they are developing their own rotation of regulars. Yeah and a lot of them just aren't very good, frankly. The panelists basically make or break the episode. I still weigh the show by the first segment. If I haven't laughed once before the first commercial break I turn it off and delete the recording. You can tell very quickly whether the guests are any good at this. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/149318-season-2-discussion/page/3/#findComment-8604223

Noah Body March 27 Share March 27 The show is hit or miss for me. Some of the guests are really funny. I do notice some of the guests, who aren't comics, look down to look at their screen to come up with a funny line to answer a question. The point scoring is not always consistent. Sometimes a person gives a lame answer and somehow they received a higher point score than someone who gave a funnier answer (that's my opinion, of course). Another thing that happens is the show cuts a segment out and it's really obvious when all of sudden, the guests' scores almost double before the 1st commercial break. I'm guessing that specific show went passed the allotted time, so a segment was cut to fit the 60 time slot.

ottoDbusdriver Thursday at 01:51 PM Share Thursday at 01:51 PM I think the 60 minute run time was the death knell from the beginning. Having re-watched some @Midnight episodes recently, the 30 minute run time forced them to keep the episodes tight with very little filler. There is so much padding in After Midnight. Taylor's stand up to start the show was ok, but in the original show everything Taylor mentions in her standup was normally written into the show. Add in the FTW challenge changes to some of the stupidest and/or laziest ideas -- who is taller, where in the world was this random guy's picture taken, games that were basically 50/50 guesses, etc. -- compared to the original show where the contestants in FTW actually had to come up with something creative on their own and the audience picked which was the best answer not knowing who wrote which answer. Hashtag wars was one of the best parts of the original series and they marginalized it in After Midnight. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/149318-season-2-discussion/page/3/#findComment-8618493
