Hate it. The new production company has slicked it up, added bad music overdubbing and changed the cameras for filming. Why? It worked for years and then you change it. It is so annoying now it is hard to watch.
"That's when it turned on me, a motorcade of 'meant to be's..."
I agree 100%! I absolutely despise the look and feel of the Citizen Pictures episodes!
Not only for the reasons you list above, but also because the increase of celebrity appearances. Back in the Page Productions days, you'd get the occasional celebrity eating with their family in a "natural" setting...but now it's always "I'm here with my good friend Matthew McConaughey/Joe Theisman/Dennis Miller, etc..." and an ENTIRE EPISODE devoted to Kid Rock? Seriously? The show has become two self-aware.
