Quality Control?

One of the worst mistakes Doug has made is his loss of Quality Control. The simplest example of this is the work done by the Howard TV cameraman that interviews the guests before and after the show. As long time fans know this was a job that most of us saw Gange start, but now (and who could think this could be possible) the current crop has me longing for that red faced grizzled voiced Gange to be back behind the camera.

Don't agree with me? Let's check out the questions asked to Cloris Leachman after her interview. Anyone who heard this interview was amazed at the great details she provided as well as her banter with Howard and the gang. There were millions of things to discuss. Here is what was asked.

Cameraman: Cloris, How did it go?

Cloris:I'm in trouble

Camerman: Why?

Cloris: Cause I said too much in there

Cameraman: There was a lot of sex talk in there.

Ok stop right here. This is his first question, and the guy can't even phrase it in the form of a question. How about asking, Did Howard bringing up all the sexual topics bother you? or Did you expect to be so frank with Howard about sex? But no Doug has some guy who is a cameraman acting like an interviewer. Great idea. Let's continue.....

Cloris:Worse than that

Cameraman: (Goofy) What was the worst?

Cloris:Joanne Woodward

Cameraman: You're in trouble with her, Uh Oh!

Another great example of someone who thinks they are the show, we don't care about you dude, ask the star the questions and keep the commentary to your cool midtown bar work parties. The stupidity goes on later when Cloris even thinks the guy is amateur.

Cloris: What are you filming me for?

Cameraman: It's for Howard's TV Show

Cloris: And what happens?

Cameraman: We broadcast his Radio Show which you were just on.

Nice way to codescend to the guest, the old lady didn't know she was just on the show.

Just another example of how Doug doesn't care. He might have before, but now in his cushy new job he seems to think just doing what his cameraman says, well golly Ms. Leachman we just "broadcast the show". But no, we expect a little more from Howard and Howard TV. I could easily do that job. Hell Wendy the Retard could film Cloris Leachman and mumble about how the guests are in trouble.

Doug should be fired.
