Apparently for just this week only, CNN is testing a new 10:00 PM panel show, "(Get To) The Point"; when they unveiled and premiered it on April 1st, it was clear that they were not kidding.

 

 

Their choice of panelists is a little interesting, we got Donny Deutsch, Rick Reilly, Margaret Hoover, and Jason Taylor (but its mentioned that there would be rotating hosts). Two NFL analysts? A lot of people on Twitter were saying that this was basically CNN's version of "The Five"; after watching a bit of it last night, it felt like a mess.

There is nothing in the least that is stimulating or intellectually challenging about this show. The analysis of everything is incredibly shallow, and there's nothing consistent about it. I never thought I would agree that an AC360 replay has more news value and is more informative than a new 10pm show.

And the lower-thirds are HUGE. And monitors situated in "portrait mode" are displaying graphics made for regular "landscape mode" setups.

"The Five" is a winning format that developed out of nowhere. It's common practice to try and tap the well of success.
