Sorry, Conan... I'm Sticking With Stewart and Colbert

A big rating on monday was expected. A drop in ratings after that was even more expected. He now has a flat rating of around 2.7 as of the end of this week. This is great news and im sick of people comparing the ratings to his premiere show... Understand that most tv shows/series (especially on cable) start out like this. Conan is a great, funny man and has a target audience. Stick to TDS and TCR all you like but I for one dont find political humour that amusing. Secondly, Conan is honest and watching his show this week he seemed alot more.. free than when he was on NBC and I think many would prefer an honest tv show host that's bound to make little yet funny mistakes live on the air than a freaking robot whose prohibited from spreading his wings. This is why 'Conan' is different and why his humour stands out from the others.

I like Conan. :D

Popwatch is reporting that Conan's ratings for the second show are in. 2.8 vs 4.2 on Monday. They say he needs to lay off the NBC jokes because they're getting old. That's a drop of about a third. Any of this sound familiar?

That's all I was wondering. At the moment, I'm watching Coco and DVRing TDS and TCR. . .but that will probably change in a few weeks. But the fact remains that I'm watching them both. I figure you can do the same too, assuming you're a fan. Watch Stewart and Colbert when they come on, watch Conan later. Not a problem.

It's kinda unfair that the TV gods make us choose between these three (they made the strike worth watching with their crossover). But in this age, we all win. I don't really care who watches what when. I just hope that people still watch Conan. He's still worthwhile. He always will be.

Yeah, Stewart and Colbert are the shit. No surprise. But Conan kicks ass all over everybody else in the late night arena (in terms of the typical talk show).

As a huge fan of all three comics, this really is a difficult choice.

Fortunately, as mentioned, thank the gods for DVRs and next-day streaming episodes.

Plus all three shows air twice each night and Daily Show and Colbert air three times the next day. So it's not a big deal.

I watched the first 2 episodes of Conan and I have to say I'm kind of sad. Is he funny? Sure. But it feels far to famliar. I get why he had to conform to Tonight Show for the sake of tradition but now he has a show where he can do whatever he wants, this is his chance to shake up the formula a bit, he can make it part variety show, focus more on sketches, etc and instead if feels like The Tonight Show 2.0 which is somewhat disappointing. Even the music the band plays at the end of the show is exactly the same as it has been for the last 20 years. In a way George Lopez's show is more rewarding because at least he doesn't have the desk.

I love them all so much, I could never choose.

Luckily, my life is easily managed with my PVR, and unless there are 3 things on at the same time that I want to watch (where I have to organize things with time-shifting), I just have to come home at the end of the night and start catching up on the night's television in whatever order I feel like at the time.

Time slots are only relevant in that I want the shows I really like to be on as early as possible so I can watch them as soon as possible. That's it.

I'll stick with my Conan, Colbert and Stewart bore me with the politic side of things. I have seen them be very funny on occasion but personally I hate everything political and could really never get into their shows.

DVR's are awesome.
