Worst Week Ever

Any other Best Week Ever fans here? How about the new format with Paul F. Thompkins as the host…
Personally, the new format blows and it just isn't funny anymore. Using Thompkins as the hosts reduces it little more than a Entertainment Tonight clone. As Kosmette pointed out, the old format was like having a bunch of witty friends over discussing the absurdities of pop culture. Now it's a show with mildly funny host and a couple correspondents… Unless it makes improvements soon, I no longer be watching…

I liked that show like 4 or 5 years ago when it came out. Then they came back and thought they were the shit.

I too was disappointed in this until I realized how rarely I watch BWE anymore .. but I so love the web content. Even though Alex Blagg is gone from the site, it's still kicking it well.

I agree with the Soup > BWE comment.
I'm not sure about the new format, but BWE had gotten really unfunny the last 6 months or so. This will perk my interest for a while, but ultimately Paul F. Tompkins was never that funny to me to begin with. BWE may well get dropped from the Season Pass.

I love love loooove Joel McHale, but that guy who does all the "I Love The [decade]'s" show was pretty good.
