feeling listless

TV Now that Big Brother has drifted away, RI:SE plunges on with it's mediocre mix of reality TV and not so star guests. I would love this to be a defining moment. The non-appearance of Fed in subsequent episodes shows how impressed the production team were. It's just difficult to see were the show as a hole can go (pun intended). I'd like to see it look to the strengths of the presenters and become more more qualititive, with a conviction for in depth items. We know that Iain Lee is a Games expert so why doesn't he have a Thumb Bandits style slot were he reviews the latest games? Why isn't he doing the scripted comedy we expected? Why is he laying out this fluff? Why hasn't Kate Lawler been ditched for someone more professional who can actually carry an item without flubbing? What would be wrong with them attacking an serious issue like homelessness or make more of the local area, perhaps with short documentaries. All it lacks is a conviction, a realisation that GMtv is doing lowest common denominator and they can strive for something better. Otherwise it looks like they're just ticking over until the contract runs out next April which can't help anyone involved.
