I have been watching the new OWN Network and thought well why not give the Gayle King show a try.
Maybe I don't understand what it is to take a radio show to a live TV show but it just flat out seemed very unprofessional to me. For instance when Gayle wants to show a clip she asks the guy in the back for the clip number. Example: Roll clip number 28 please. Wouldn't it be better to just have the guy have the list of clips in order and say roll the clip? You could see the production people coming out to rearrange the show furniture. Ok enough of that.
Gayle herself seemed flat to me. I was not involved with her like I have been Oprah. Now maybe it's unfair to compare the two but lets face it Gayle has been around long enough to be able to put on a high quality show.
I do hope they get better with time but for me it is just not up to the standards we've come to expect of Oprah and this Network.
What I absolutely love love love is Season 25: Oprah Behind the Scenes. This show is a full hour of everything that it takes to get the episodes of The Oprah Show up and running. I was mesmerized and can't wait for the next installment. I was very surprised to see that Oprah has not edited in order to just make herself look great. She is of course human like the rest of us and she allows us to see into her universe.
I have come away from that show with a new found respect for the production teams and directors that make up these shows. I hope this doesn't end with this season. Maybe she can do this on other show?:
Well that's my review for today for what it's worth. I do hope to see more from this fledgling network.
Oprah I'd love to see a show with Maria Shriver anything in the works?
Much Love
