Storyline

An evening entertainment news channel that, on the surface, seemed fairly similar to most others of its kind: stories about the latest celebrity scandals, interviews with rock stars, actors, etc. (although with perhaps a more pronounced leaning toward sexual titilation) . It differed significantly, however, in its pacing. Billed as 'zapless TV' it changed from one story to the next at such a fast pace that viewers would supposedly feel that they were channel surfing without even touching the remote.

It was sold as "zapless" telelvision. It moved so fast, people zapped it anyway! 8^)

Hey, I was on it, and thought it was a great idea, but the producers screwed it up. Then tried to rescue it with T&A. Dumb, dumb, dumb. All you producers out there, should remember to have a little more respect and a little less condescension for your viewers. I did have fun going to Paris and London on their dime, though...Thanks Guys!! BTW, Heidi Bohay was amazingly wonderful to work with, the camera crews were great. Overall, a real waste of television time, and it could have easily been a lot smarter and stayed on a lot longer if the producers had spent more time on substance and less on style (which was groundbreaking in its time).
