The audio alone made the show seem amateurish. I don't know why they never addressed that issue. Maybe it was ok in the studio audience but on TV it was dreadful production-wise.

The fourth hour was just proof that NBC is cheap. *sigh* I'm old enough to remember when they actually aired game shows on NBC in the mornings. Nowadays, syndication is filled with B-and-C-list celebrity-hosted talk shows, self-important gurus and advisors, and courtroom shows. Seriously, why do we need more than two courtroom shows? At last count, there's over 15. But I digressed long enough. I'm guessing they put the iVillage show after Today, but considering I don't live in an area with an NBC O&O, I don't really know. Here's a question. Why does NBC Universal have iVillage and Oxygen Media? Since both units pretty much cater to the same demographics, couldn't they work better as one cohesive unit rather than two separate ones? Both have strengths that each could take advantage of, and if they really wanted the show to work, couldn't they at least retool it as a national show on Oxygen?
