| This topic has been rehearsed extensively. In addition to what's said here and in earlier threads (probably gone), the show is not doing all that well even with Peters, and is not the audience magnet that one might think from the small sample size here. Rudin has designed this one as a star vehicle and (unlike some other shows) when you start digging down to the B list for "stars" it'll only get worse. (And none of the fantasy casting is ever going to happen, and it's not clear Rudin would do that anyway. As Newt says below, he has his way, and he sticks to it. That way is not the same in every show but I think even his critics would acknowledge that he goes into each production with a clear plan that he follows. |
