You’ve noticed that no credits run at the end of each broadcast of The Hour.
That’s certainly one way to keep the focus on brand George, and not distract viewers with a reminder of just how many people it takes to create the pretense of a one-man show.
But not showing the credits is also a way of hiding how many people are taking a slice out of the program’s budget – and who they are.
Are Jerome and Rusty still getting cheques as Creative Consultants?
Because it’s hard not to think of a puppet show with this production.
But one thing is clear: The CBC doesn’t want anyone to know where the money is actually going to pay for this nightly sinkhole of a show.
Oh, my God, Allan, you’™re a loser ’“ Colbert and Sewart have way more writers than George. And, I have seen credits and the end of his show from time to time. get a life already.
did you just say Allan you’re my god?
thank you for lighting up my life
I’m sorry.
My mistake was letting my bluntness mask my subtlety.
You see, I wasn’t thinking about writers in this post.
I’m guessing the puppet reference threw you.
I’ve never seen the credits, though I did look for them
but it won’t really surprise you that I’ve not seen every episode of The Hour
not even most of them
management also, can have a financial stake in this show
I would be interested to know if you think The Hour is financially viable?
I’m not a TV person … but, if the show has been on for 5 yrs and going into it’s 6th season, then I guess it is.
Hello? It’s television.
The entire thing, from top to bottom, is a puppet show.
If you had no idea that Dick had his hand in our collective trousers, it may be time for some retraining.
