I agree
Thank you SO MUCH for making this! I’ve felt this way for years, but this graph best show s how much filler is in that stupid show.
NP.
So true! I used to have to watch this show as part of my job. I had to compile the stories they covered in a report, and I had to put headlines on them. You know how hard it is to write a headline for “The guy from that movie went to the grocery store and we followed him with a video camera”?!
Some might argue there is no “actual” news on ET.
and anybody doing so would win that argument in my opinion.
Exactly. But I guess you’d struggle to find ‘actual’ news on CNN and Fox News as well. It only exists on the internet, the BBC and the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation).
There’s not usually. Occasionally, they’ll have a lucky shot, but anything that’s actual news on that show also makes its way to Headline News, so… It really doesn’t belong on CNN, honestly. Even “celebrity news” doesn’t belong, it belongs on a gossip channel or something.
So incredibly true.
Coming up next: The Sarah Palin hairstyle report.
Coming up tomorrow: The Sarah Palin haristyle and glasses report.
I guess it’s a good thing it’s called ENTERTAINMENT tonight, huh?
Wait…ET has NEWS!?!
lol win
Very, very true.
Well, if you use the word “news” very liberally. Very, very, very liberally…
Wait. Don’t think liberal was the word i meant there.
Umm…lenient mebbie? *shrug*
nope liberally was the right word. Just because politics has stolen the word doesn’t make your usage wrong
Personally I think this is a rather generous diagram. I’d put the “coming up next” at more like 70%, “coming tomorrow” at 20% and “actual content” at 10%. (I wouldn’t call it “news” either…)
HOWEVER, i think it’s an EXCELLENT point.
You got that right. They spend more time telling you about the story coming up later in the the show than they actually spend on the story itself. Pathetic.
Same thing is true of most over produced reality shows. Except reality shows also have a ‘what happened in the past’ allowing for only about 10% of new material.
“Actual News” should be broken down into “stories about plastic surgery gone wrong,” “footage from Barry Manilow’s exlusive ET performance,” “People who used to be on ‘Dancing With The Stars’ blather on,” and “Other.”
I love how they tell you the whole newscast about some story [thats not about celebrities or something serious] coming up. And at the end of the program its some 15 second clip next to the credits.
Love this graph.
Coming up Next on Inside Edition : Every , single, exact thing you just saw on Entertainment tonight; Possibly in different order.
Am I the only Viewing area that has to see them played back-to-back?
This is so totally why I don’t watch that show.
I think the acutal new part should be at least a fifth of what is on that part of the chart. I had to quit watching that show. It’s all “here’s what’s next”…and next never happens.
AGREED
I refuse to watch that show because it’s effing infuriating.
You guys are all way too smart for this show. Coming up next I’ll tell you the name of a show that will satisfy that craving you have for REAL entertainment news, but first look at me jingle these keys: looky, looky looky!
OMG! Right on! The most frustrating show on TV. I don’t even watch it anymore. You wait 28 minutes to get to the story you want to see and it’s over in less than 10 seconds. Booooooo
