SUNDAYS WITH ALEC BALDWIN: MY REVIEW

    Okay.  This is going to be a bit uncomfortable.  The fact that a show like "Sundays With Alec Baldwin" is on the air anywhere (much less Big Bad ABC) is refreshing.  Both Charlie Rose and Tavis Smiley are doing time somewhere in the void because of recent sexual harassment charges so the fact that there is a forum showcasing people in arts, culture and sports is good news as the PBS replacements for the aforementioned men have been focused directly on politics and goodness knows we certainly need many more of those programs.
     The good:  Mr. Baldwin does get some good guests by judging by the pilot which aired after the Sunday Oscar telecast.  Jerry Seinfeld had some very interesting views on today's political correct environment and the #metoo movement.  He has previously stated that he will not perform at colleges anymore because students keep deconstructing every joke until they find something the may offend them.  SNL's Kate McKinnon was about as delightful as a current cast member can possibly be but I was simply bored by the end. Sorry.
     The bad:  These guests are obviously friends of Mr. Baldwin and of course you should put buddy butts in the seat next to you when your doing a pilot as it must calm the nerves but when both of the guests start turning tables and asking Baldwin about film roles and Trump impressions the interviews start to veer off the rails.
      So all in all, not a bad debut but I'm hoping the Marc Maron gets a chance to start taping his podcasts as he has a much more varied range of guests and a more childlike sense of wonder when interviewing people.  I'm giving the pilot of this series a B- but I still think it has potential for better things.
