  1. Yeah like most of the other comments, The Cheap Sheets was better than expected. Good to see some different talent on screen. I felt is was like a scripted and tight “The Panel” which is probably right for the current times given the other panel shows around. It was just those different camera angles: just no need for them – so distracting. Other than that….Well done Working Dog team.

  2. Cheap Seats was pretty good for the first half, but it seemed like they ran out of material after that, because it got a tiny bit awkward.

    1. Wanted to comment earlier today and forgot (working from home/home schooling got in the way of TVT reading). I totally agree with you. 30 minutes would have been long enough. The guest panellist were probably not needed. First segment very strong but got bored towards end. I am sure it will improve over time. Good debut figures.

  3. Enjoyed Survivor last night and it’s great to have it back on.

    Saw bits of the cheap seats and what I saw it was pretty good and funny. It flowed quite well I thought.

  4. Enjoyed Cheap Seats. It definitely needs a few tweaks (different background, shorter show – maybe 40 minutes?, better guest segments) but I could definitely see it doing well for a while.

  5. I thought the exact same thing on The Cheap Seats. Sports guy was a bit boring and the camera angles. Apart from those 2 things, it was a really funny show.

  6. I liked The Cheap Seats. I thought it was a good debut. Better than I had expected. It had elements of The Panel and drive time radio, and it has a point of difference compared to the quiz aspects of HYBPA? I’m also impressed at the collation of a considerable amount of humorous content. It’s safe to say that I would tune in again.

  7. I liked The Cheap Seats. Very funny until they got to the sports guy then I got a bit bored with it. Only other complaint I have is the annoying camera coming in from the side and Melanie keeping her attention to the front.
    Hope it goes well, we need a good laugh.

    1. I did notice that it did lose a bit of momentum towards the end. It’s an hour show and the decline in energy towards the tail end of the show could be a thing to look at for continuity and interest retention.

    2. Agree. Good start. Many laugh out loud moments. Hosts have good chemistry. I thought it was more HYBPA without questions. Hope it gains market.
      Yes the camera angles were distracting, I guess they were trying to be”arty” or creative, but it looked messy and uncontrolled!!
