I don’t get the same enjoyment and satisfaction out of watching it that I once did, and that’s not merely because the patriarch has passed away, it’s also because it’s become smarmy and jaded. The revolving hosts give the show a cheap veneer, a tawdriness. On one two-week period, I did not watch at all because I have little admiration for the person who held that stint. I gave it another chance after that, but I have once again bowed out. It’s a combination of the switcheroo and the people selected to populate it. I think the whole thing stinks of something that has changed the nature of the show in grossly negative ways. As much as it pains me to let it go, I can’t stick with something I loved and respected while corporate producers twist it into ugline... less

Of course, the simplest answer is that filth gets ratings, but beyond that, there is still good, wholesome and nostalgic programming that attracts viewers. less
