Just end it already


I am such a big fan of Megan Mullally that I was excited to hear she'd have her own show. I think I keep expecting her to have the wit and attitude of Karen Walker but it's becoming painfully clear that Megan is just not as scintillating without a script. She seems like a very nice person but she doesn't have the natural conversation skills nor the sense of humor to host a "talk" show. She simply can't keep the ball up in the air on her own.

I've been watching since it began and it's not getting better IMO. Time to end it. Surely there are some great acting roles waiting for her?

Well I have also watched every episode and I absolutely LOVE it! I do look up to Megan as it is... but I think she is hilarious and her show is full of variety and hilarity! I think she is quite comfortable with her guests, whether they are celbs or everyday people. Her performances and silly little songs are just hilarious!!!

I say Kudos to Megan! This show is fantastic! I can't wait till it comes on Australian tv!

reply

its a big mistake for ANY fan of a finished tv show to expect their character to return...believe me...they won't!!!

u need to get to know the actor indtead and the new characters that they become (which I hope she will)

reply

The show is good and it keeps getting better. You're basically saying you want Megan to stop being herself and put on some fake persona. I don't sthat happening anytime soon. What makes the show enjoyable to me is that she is so real. She just likes to sit and chat. It's a refreshing change from the other talk shows.

reply

I enjoy her show with some of the skits she has done (her spare time skit was really funny)and her appearance with Debra was the greatest.

I was happy to see Carol Burnett again.
I wish they would broadcast reruns of the Carol Burnett show.

I've watched every episode, and though the show was a bit shaky at first, I absolutely love it now. I love the way she sits and and chats with the guests instead of doing the usual formal interviews that everyone else already has covered. Of course Megan is no Karen Walker, and personally I love her much more as herself. There should be more people like Megan in the world.

reply

I really enjoy her show too. There is a lot of variety to it. Music, dancing, humor, etc. But the thing I like the most is that it seems as if she has celebrities on that I have never seen on other talk shows. And the fact that she usually does something, whether it is a song/dance or something else, with both celebrities that she interviews is pretty cool. I hope that she keeps up the good work. It is her first season, and it only gets better with time. Go Megan!

WOW! I agree with you jax713... I was A HUGE FAN of WILL & GRACE..mainly because I LOVED KAREN! So i was so excited for Megans show to start..i mean like even crying at some points i was so excited. But when it started i noticed there were many awkward pauses in all of the interviews and small things like that, that just bothered me. The only thing thats keeping me watching is the little pre-taped things during her monaloge shes been showing almost everyday. Ya know? And shes been having some pretty good guests too. But when it comes to just "Megan" im bored. I dont know what it is. I guess i was expecting "Karen" and not "Megan". ( not literally.. I just didnt think there was such a big difference between the two)
I will keep watching ...but I admit, I am disappointed. Sometimes I feel so uncomfortable when she's interviewing people..i dont know why. It's like she needs "Interview Training" or something ya know?! ..You were right when you said Megan isnt funny without a script. Maybe thats why those "taped" things are funny... because possibly people are telling her stuff like "Ok, now run over there and jump on him really hard" ...yeah I dont know ..but I feel better now..so thanks for reading this. LOL.
-- You guys keep watching ...I'm sure eventually she'll get the hang of it.

XOXO

If you want to see Karen, there are almost 200 episodes of Will and Grace you can watch. This is Megan Mullally's time to be herself, and I think its great and it's a relaxing and refreshing show to watch.

reply

I just atched it today, and I've got to say, it's really embarassing. Megan Mullally seems nice, but that does not constitute for the host of a talk show.
She's trying way too hard to be funny, where if you look at the pros, it comes very naturally to them.

reply


As a host, she makes Oprah Winfrey look like a skilled
interviewer (she isn't...and I don't care if she's as
popular as God - she just isn't).

MM stated she wanted her show to be like Merv Griffen or
Mike Douglas (who just died). In our youth-obsessed
market, targeted audiences wouldn't even remember who
they were.

To me, her show lacks a center. It's frenetic, yet static
and dull. And amazingly corny. If your goal is to
interview people for no reason at all (no films/records
to promo), you'd better be good at banter. She ain't.
And it's painful to watch.

We are seeing reruns of "Roseanne" today in place of "Megan". Perhaps the axe has fallen?

I watched it to see how long it took her each day to say "Will and Grace". She never made it to the first commercial break.

reply

Looks like it, Saved by the Bell is on instead of Megan! WOOT! Gotta love Jessie Spano :)

reply

Don't get your hopes up. She's on at 6 in the morning on TBS. This show won't die, unfortunately.

reply

You're an idiot.

Her voice is known to cause inner ear bleeding.

I agree with you buffyman3

she dose not need to be Karen walker and I am really happy she got to be in this Show and hope the best for her.

reply

As much as I like this show, I think what turns me off is her poor acting skills. I think this show should at least try to do something to get the ratings up. I heard that TBS is pulling a rebroadcast of MM with Drew Carey Show repeats. So unless something improves, this show is done with come September of '07.

Drop your weapons! A new day of 24 begins January 14 and 15, 2007 on FOX!

ok, so, i don't really care about any of your opinions because obviously you can't tell good tv or talent when you see it but i just have to say. MEGAN MULLALLY IS NOT A BAD ACTRESS. and her acting skills are not poor. i think, maybe, her two emmys and countless sag awards (not to mention 8 series running sitcom) say different. she is a brillaint actress. she was able to play karen walker, a character SO INCREDIBLY different to herself for 8 years so well she got, yeah, the two emmys and other awards. she is a brilliant actress and to say otherwise you obviously dont know much about her or acting skills in general. much love megan. your show is great, keep it up.

dude who posted above me:
i don't get you, you've just said that we shouldn't expect karen because she's not karen yet all the things you ask in megan are things which karen were. megan isn't dull nor bored. and to say she isn't energetic, happy and 'up' is wrong. you can't kill a show becauser you think the host has an annoying voice, geez ellens voice makes me want to shoot myself but it's still a good show. megan's show is great, she has gotten better every episode, and i hope it continues.

It's okay, but sometimes uncomfortable/weird. The interviews are so long and she is constantly touching the male guests and sits so close to the interviewees. It's just so weird that she brings out the guests right away and has so many per show.

buuuhhhh , NBC pulled the plug on this show...too bad for her and the whole staff but they did a good job...

reply

Agreed - it is too bad it was canned so fast. I was hoping she would get one full season anyway. Well, on to the next gig for her.

reply

This show was painful to watch, hopefully she will move on to parts that showcase her great talent. Jeopardy repeats have replaced her show.

reply

i've been watching every episode in order. later than they aired though, because i was in the hospital having emergency surgery and a friend taped it for me.

i made it through 10 VHS tapes and i LOVED every minute of it. i find her show absolutely hysterical. megan is talented, genuine, and seems like a delightful person. i've never laughed so hard during a talk show and i ended up recovering 4 weeks early. i will miss that show. luckily i still have a couple more tapes to go through...
