Where to begin since so much is wrong with this episode?! Ernest Borgnine and Tom Bosley are wasted here. Valerie Bertinelli, whom I cannot stand for the life of me, totally ruined this series and should have never been allowed to work ever again. Whoever cast her and whoever allowed this casting decision to go forth should never have been allowed to work in Hollywood ever again..
Back to the episode: it is pathetic! I guess they're trying to recreate what was the late '80s to '90s trash TV talk shows with a local access twist, but it does not work for this series; we are forced to witness a bunch of pathetic individuals and their pathetic lives in these two elderly men's pathetic TV show; the presence of angels is irrelevant and wasted here.
None of the characters are interesting here. Valerie Bertinelli is embarrassing herself beyond belief, and Bella Reese is breaking my ears: the woman could not sing and she was the weakest link in this TV series. For the life of me I cannot understand that they gave her the job of singing the theme song. I have to mute it every time this comes on.
The actress who played the original Blue Angel showed some promise that her character might have been interesting, but Valerie Bertinelli donning the same exact clothes looked ridiculous in them! They missed the opportunity to have her give some kind of speech to redeem her character, but of course they failed to do that. Her useless character made her episodes annoying boring and absolutely unwatchable.
Skip this one: even the cinematography is pathetic; everything about this episode is lame and pathetic, pathetic and lame.
