Interesting.  I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that a couple of years ago the show seemed to 'change'.  I was always a rabid fan, catching every one of them, but then it seemed to turn into a bit of a parody or better a caricature of itself.  Like it was 'trying too hard' to be the show it was if that makes any sense.  From music to drops to the entire sound.


It just seemed to 'lose' something that I can't put my finger on, but now I think about it, I steadily stopped listening as much.

Nifty.

One, the writing team changed several times.

Two, Terry's essential "Terry-ness" in recounting the stories changed. It was the season he mentioned working with actor Liev Schreiber. Terry praised Liev's seamless smooth low key delivery, or words to that effect. That's the season when the musicality and cheeriness went out of Terry's read, and he changed the cadence and delivery to the measured professional performance that has you and me, and others here on the big yellow board less than thrilled.


Sidebar: I somehow goofed a bit typing this and don't have time/the patience to redo it. Below is obviously the rest of the original post.

As you were.
