Access Hollywood

Right at the beginning: Not every show that deals with Hollywood and those who work there is automatically stupid. Only gossip should not be the only focus of such a program. For my part, I could do without this entirely. It would be better if it were specifically about what is created in Hollywood, as well as problems in this world of the "beautiful and rich". In other words, a more ambivalent mission that is also more dialectical in the realm of what is possible here. You should be able to do without the embarrassment of this program.

"Access Hollywood" now shown all over syndication is watched by many people who use it as a source to get the latest entertainment news. This series doesn't match the quality of "Entertainment Tonight", but it is a spinoff of "ET" for the way it reports entertainment news. Hosted by former sports commentator and analyst Pat O' Brien and the elegant Nancy O' Dell you never have a dull moment with Hollywood news on "Access Hollywood". This is a great show to watch and stay informed!

Access will be starting their 9th season. They are so far ahead of ET you really can't compare the two shows anymore. Et has even resorted to ripping off Access's graphics.

Pat o'brien rocks. Sorry, Bob goen is a great guy....but Pat is clearly on top of his game.

I was happy to read that people like the graphics....but you ain't seen nothing yet!

Macdonald's and BurgerKing seemed to benefit from the competition. Of course

BurgerKing had to reinvent itself to keep up. Et seems to be standing still.

Et's demographic tends to be loyal, but I don't even think their clearances are going to bring them back to what they once were. It doesn't hurt that Access has the best executive producer on the planet.

Yeah, my opinion is a touch biased....but it doesn't make it wrong!

I always tried to catch when Access Hollywood came on Fox late at night in 1998. Strange Universe (Read My comment on Strange Universe) came on at 1:30 AM and then Access Hollywood came on at 2:00 AM CDT and then the pre-recorded news. Well, It was always cool to watch them but they were both way to short for their subjects in my opinion. I hate to say it but Access Hollywood, after a while got on the wrong track with things and when you wait to see something you wanted to, well, you wait for it and it only lasts for about 15 seconds and its all over with. They rush to many things in thirty minutes. Out of the two shows Strange Universe was My favorite (and its a shame because Strange Universe I believe no longer is on the air) but if you want a show that's not long at all and has really short interviews and behind the scenes then check your local listings!

This show was once the Gold Standard of entertainment reporting (I think they even call themselves that in the credits). But in the last year or so it has gone from legitimate reporting to a simple tabloid show. Billy Bush seems to have only two jobs on the show; to give his opinion on whatever crosses his mind and promote his morning show. They need to replace Billy with somebody that can do an interview and report the facts without editorializing.

If you only want to know who is sleeping with whom or which celebrity is rumored to have done something and you don't feel like buying the National Enquirer watch this show. But if you are looking for real entertainment reporting go to the internet there are many sites that do a much better job.
