THINKING ABOUT REMOVING BILL O'REILLY FROM MY TiVo SEASON PASS LINEUP
Bill O’Reilly is, in all likelihood, one of the best, most prolific, and self-contained host/writer/producer/directors in the business. That being said, I am finding the repetitiveness of his presentations, and his feigned humbleness as a “simple man” looking out for “the folks” wearing thin. As is his rotating crop of regular talking heads. Not to mention the constant self-promotion of himself, his tschokes, his concert engagements, and his books. His social commentary segments with Greg Gutfeld, Bernard McGuirk, Dennis Miller, and Adam Carolla are amusing, but inane (the word of the day).
I find myself comparing O’Reilly’s program with that of newcomer Megyn Kelly who was given Sean Hannity’s timeslot. I find her smart, engaging, and willing to fight as hard to get a truthful answer as Bill O’Reilly. But the quality of her guests, questions, and the follow-up questions surpasses what I am currently seeing on the O’Reilly program. Especially in the Catholic-related rants involving Christmas and Christians.
Therefore, I am thinking of eliminating O’Reilly from my TiVo Season Pass.
