  1. This is a good concept for a show, but it needs to be very careful that it’s not overly critical. I watched last week’s show and segment 1 was talking about phone companies – and it was basically a 10 minute rant about how unhelpful they are, with 10 seconds at the end with tips for customers. Expand the helpful advice sections, and less of the sarcastic humour and it could be a very good format.

  2. “it’s not always the best idea to get your car loan from the same place you buy your car”
    not always? is it ever a good idea? do people even do that?

    One thing I noticed last time I bought a car; according to their advertising Toyota doesn’t seem to have “cars with good features” they have “cars with great financing”.
