Loved seeing Soundgarden last night. Great performance

In the world of HD television, I want a snazzy looking set. Visuals are a part of television --- this isn't radio.

Andy is highly annoying -- I didn't start to like "Late Night with Conan" until Andy left, then it became a kick-ass show. I'm sorry to see that Conan is still dragging him along when he would perform much better solo.

I liked the premier, and thought Conan was funny overall.

Lea Michele came across as Super Fake.
Rogen was fine.
Craig does interviews much much better.
The set did look cheap, maybe the lighting/camera work was partly to blame. The set didnt look professional enough; its like it was shot by amateurs.

I like the set. It reminds me of the old Late Night set.

Andy Richter is really funny now, funnier than he ever was on Late Night.

The interview segments seemed okay to me on the first show.

I'm watching in HD too and it looks perfectly fine to me. Just get over it, it isn't the most important aspect of the show. I guess to be honest I don't really see what was so much more over the top fancy about his Tonight Show or Late Night sets in comparison to the new one.

As far as Andy goes I still disagree. I think he adds something to the show personally and they go well together. That's just me though I can see how some might not like him at times.

I think it's a great set, not sure what the complaints are. Looks modern with a bit of retro thrown in.

I thought the opening episode was good. Loved the opening monologue, I think Richter was actually funny, Rogen was solid... I've got my DVR set to record all new eps, so guess I'll see how he does in the coming days/weeks. But it's a good start so far.

From TVbytheNumbers.com:
Still seems excellent for TBS I'd think.

Andy was awesome during his time on Late Night. He stole the show often for me.

Really really really really glad to see they got him back on the couch in true old school side-kick format. I was hoping that was going to be the case with the Tonight Show and was disappointed it didn't happen. Very awesome.

1. Oh I did, and I still wanted to put you in your place.

2. Yea, believe me I'll never make that mistake again. However, due to the style of the post, I'm quite certain the majority of the people in this thread assumed it wasn't just me writing up a quick blurb to share. I felt it was fairly obvious it came from somewhere other than me. I didn't know I needed to use MLA citation style on a forum about DVDs.

maybe next time you should post, oh i don't know, say a link to what you are quoting instead of us expecting us to know if that's from you or an outside source. just a thought.

Yea, I got that. You people need links. I got it. Maybe next time I should post a link... I got it. Yea. Links.

Exactly. It has that same vibe, which really was a throwback to the old sets from the 50's and 60's. I see nothing wrong with it.

This guy knew that it was an article and not my doing. HOW COULD HE HAVE POSSIBLY KNOWN WITHOUT A LINK?? This guy is amazing!

or just don't post in this thread at all. that would be better.

How unbelievably uncalled for.

yay yay!

and calling someone here an ass is called for?

I didn't write the article, as I implied here...

Now, I made a crucial error in not posting the link (the horror). However, a few sharp posters within this thread knew that it was not my writings, so for that I thank you.

While Dragon Tattoo did not have the coveted link to verify that it was not my doing, he did all sorts of assuming. And we all know what assuming does.

Bingo!

Well, I didn't realize you were Dragoon Tattoo's personal message board body guard otherwise I wouldn't have ever started arguing with you about this. However, I've committed. So please take a look at our exchange, and I trust you'll find it quite fitting.

And I hereby promise to NEVER post and article without a link again. Scouts honor.

Also, I've enjoyed CONAN so far. Hopefully it continues as such

I think you all have very big penises. Can we all move on now?

Conan O'Brien was welcomed back to television by more than 4.1 million viewers, while his winning numbers had minimal effect on his late-night opponents.

The former host of "The Tonight Show," who left NBC eight months ago, returned on Monday with a new talk show, "Conan," premiering on basic-cable network TBS.

In the 11 p.m. Eastern hour, O'Brien's opening night throttled his direct rivals on Comedy Central. "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" was seen by 1.3 million viewers, followed by "The Colbert Report" with 1 million.

But the curiosity factor clearly brought new viewers to the scene. Even against the debut of "Conan," the "Daily Show" audience dropped by just 200,000 viewers from its season-to-date average for Monday episodes. Viewership for "Colbert" dropped by only 150,000 from its season-to-date average.

Conan beat Jay Leno, the host who reclaimed the "Tonight Show" chair from him. Starting at 11:35 p.m. Eastern, "Tonight" attracted 3.5 million viewers. But "Tonight," which overlaps with "Conan" by 25 minutes, was down by just 100,000 viewers. Season-to-date, "Tonight" is averaging 3.6 million viewers, according to the Nielsen Co. It's really nice to have him back.

LINK!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!!??! Otherwise, good write up rabbit77!

can u stop please.

Can't wait for the first of the inevitable Norm MacDonald visits. Then we'll see just how far they can go with the show.
