That's not the point. Unless they're trying to bore the audience so much that anything will seem entertaining by the time tape rolls, there's no excuse for having the audience in place any earlier than 4:45 or 5:00.
I'll acknowledge that most of the audience in the Ed is comprised of hyenas who will laugh and applaud at anything and give standing ovations to even the most obscure actor in a CBS procedural, but the staff knows that 5:30 is go time and has been since at least 1993, so 90 minutes of sitting in a meat locker is a non-starter for me. At this point, unless the guest is someone I really want to see -- and that assumes they'll actually be there and not appearing via a pre-tape, I'll be passing. --Dave Sikula On Thursday, November 3, 2022 at 10:20:51 AM PDT, M-D November <mdnovem...@gmail.com> wrote: Dave - I'd rather sit in the house for 90 minutes than have to stand on the street in line (or crammed into the Ed's lobby), as it had been done pre-COVID. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
