tessaray December 22, 2014 Share December 22, 2014 So what do you all think the all time best episodes are? Top 10, top 20? And links, maybe? :-) The one thing I find unsatisfying about clips from the show (although they can be funny) is that I got the most pleasure from the ebb and flow of an episode, so a collection of clips isn't the best representation of the show for me. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/8912-the-late-late-show-with-craig-ferguson-general-discussion/page/8/#findComment-671353

Until I saw it, I didn't realize that the subtitle for the "Hot and Grumpy" tour was "Walking the Earth." It made me chuckle since he repeatedly mentioned that he would be walking the earth and solving crimes once the show ended. I'm still adjusting to the idea of no more Craig on the Late Late Show.

While I doubt they'd try nightime syndication again after this mess, we know there are at least a trio of other outlets. 1.) Daytime TV (which can be either syndicated or network) 2.) Cable TV (which can vary a lot between "just as good an outlet/time as network TV, through "total joke", between basic and pay cable, daily and weekly slots, etc.) 3.) Online direct (the least potential revenue, but not the total zero it would have been years ago).
