The Drew Barrymore Show

Geez, and I thought Kelly Clarkson's show was bad...

The super-annoying commercials aired prior to the show's debut were a dead giveaway as to just how godawful this was going to be. I've tried to watch it a few times, but can barely stand five minutes of it. It's bad enough Drew loves talking about herself incessantly (which is NOT a good trait for a talk show host), but on top of that for some reason her guests feel inclined to ooze praise for her during the interviews (if you can call them that). Then douse it all with "women empowerment" and a "HEY, LOOK AT ME!" mentality and what you end up with is another sixty minutes of mindless daytime TV crap.

It's basically the 2020 version of The Sammy Maudlin Show (if you're not familiar with it, look it up...let's just say it's not a compliment).

This is about the worst talk show I have seen on television. Her energy is not appealing but a sort of annoying manic energy. The interview portions of the show are not bad but the rest of the show is unwatchable. Her crazy ramblings and swooning over other actors is just too much! Where is Bonnie Hunt or Rosie when we could really use them. And I just can't with Ross Matthews, who is a total embarrassment- such a stereotype. Why is he there? There are gay men who don't come off like screaming queens. He is awful. Cancel this mess.

I catch the show from time to time, however, it gets painful to watch as she touches, hugs, kisses, and crawls on her guests laps. It's so painful and uncomfortable not only to watch, but it's plain to see the discomfort the guests experience. Not sure what the issue is with her, as I've seen Drew on her knees in front of guests. It's not pleasant to watch. Sorry, bc I like Drew, but cringe during her guest interviews. At that point I have to change the channel. Surprised that they are renewing another season. In any event I wish her well. Maybe some like to watch that kind of behavior, but certainly not me, or my family.

Drew's team hired a bunch of hacks/staffers to rave about her manic energy. The show stinks, has no good/new ideas and all filler, even going so far as to discuss astrology as if it were still 1964. Drew jumps around the set like a rabid animal (one time she literally howled at the moon!) and she uses crazy gyrations and insane movements as a means for non-existent excitement and entertainment. She has gone insane, methinks. And all the rave reviews you read here are by Drew herself or some other phony baloney. They are all one paragraph, run-on sentences with no punctuation and poor sentence structure, as if written by a young ignorant child. Read the first week's worth of "reviews" here and see how desperate the show must be to cheat and mislead the would-be viewer. Bah.

I love talk shows, Ellen, Harry Connick, The View, The Talk, Kelly & Ryan, all the late night shows (except my follow Canadian, Lily Singh she too is just annoying) - but this new Drew talk show = uggh. It was more than annoying it was actually irritating. Her running around absolutely in hysterics and screaming for her Drew's News was not humorous at all. I am a woman -a strong, fully independent woman- but stop preaching women's empowerment so much. We get it. Those who don't get it won't because they will not be watching this show.. Drew is wonderful in her acting. But, no, not a talk show host. I doubt this will make it very far, at least I hope not. Please stop whining and screeching.
