Nothing better than a morning talk show for major league baseball. Not.

It is definitely cheaper to produce a talk show with talking heads than any other format to report MLB news.

Kelly and Mark would be proud.

Why can't they replay a game with some editing to fill the time? Maybe a two-hour game from previou day or week or year.

Instead, we get a talk show and hosts throwing sofa pillows at each other.

Mad dog may not be any better. Somebody please figure out a more tolerable format than these. Please. Perhaps a reality game show for baseball??

TV is insulting baseball fans and all viewers in general these days.

Initially, this show was very promising. It contains the big topics that no other TV networks would produce. So far so good. Until.. It started to repeat itself, over and over. Yes, now we know about blackholes, super massive blackholes, dark matter, dark energy.

But, we don't even know exactly how many planets there are in the Solar system? Why no mention about origin and workings of life and other potential life in the universe? How about James Webb Telescope findings? Probably not sexy enough for the CGI crew to make some "shocking" images to wow the audiences.

The shows are stretched to an hour from maybe 10 minutes of real materials, by way of expert astrophysicists- talking heads with exaggerating facial expressions and hand gestures that make viewers puke.

And, please, expert analysts, put on some shirts other than underwear T-shirt.

When the show first debuted, it was actually not bad. Supermassive blackholes, quasars, dark energy, dark matter. Colliding galaxies. All interesting topics.

But, when you see 14 years of reruns of these same programs while many new materials are obtained from newly launched telescopes, rovers and probes, those same "astrophysicists" started to become quite annoying to watch.

Other than the narrators in the background, those "scientists" with overly exaggerated facial features and hand gestures (that do not add any benefits for audience's better understanding of the Universe) are just distraction and main reason for us to reach for the remote control and change channel.

It would be better if the shows can be updated or even better, new shows produced, to include science discoveries since 2010. Our understanding of the Universe has grown. New evidences gathered and new technologies used.

But we are stuck with the same, outdated shows for decades.

A bit like watching "Friends" or "Two and a half men" for the Nth times. Not interesting anymore.

Please, more science, less talking heads.
