Of all the experts on Antiques Roadshow, why were Leigh and Leslie Keno picked up to host their own show?
They talk over each other (and often over their visiting experts) -- plus they have an odd habit of apparently needing to run their hands over the antiques they're looking at, which in some cases is a bad idea.
In one episode for example, they admit they don't know much about collectible posters, then proceed to touch, rub, and poke at a set of old ski lodge posters for about five minutes. If possible, paper collectibles shouldn't be touched by bare hands; the human hand has all kinds of bacteria and oil that damages paper. If they can't keep their hands off, they should at least wear gloves -- and these "experts" don't know that?
The hosts also gesture broadly and distractingly with their hands when they talk -- making the show seem almost like a Saturday Night Live parody.
The idea for this show is great -- the opposite of Antiques Roadshow; experts come to people's homes and businesses to appraise antiques and provide historical information. It just needs better hosts.

Movies like Bewitched make me a little sad: Such a waste of talent, on all levels -- from the cast to the crew -- not to mention a waste of time and money. There are wonderful scripts that never get made, and a piece of trash like this script does make it to the big screen and gets promoted as something worth watching... (There should be a law against trailers that make a dreadful movie look good.)
The thing I really don't understand is, how come hundreds of movie-goers can all agree about how awful this movie is -- yet, nobody who had the power to make it better (director, producers, other studio folks....) noticed how bad it was? I've just scanned through the IMDb viewer comments, and in more than 300 reviews, there's only a tiny handful of people who think it's a good movie...and most of them say things like "it's not AS BAD as I'd heard it is." (i.e., it's bad, just not "that bad.") So, could there have been people behind the scenes who thought it was good? Maybe one of these days, studio execs will realize they should hire some die-hard movie fans to give them advice about what's wrong with their movies.
There are some really great actors in this movie, including Shirley Maclaine, one of my all- time favorites; and Kristin Chenoweth, one of the best stage actors of her generation -- but those two amazing ladies are given practically nothing to do.
When I first heard the concept of this film -- that it would be about a group of actors remaking Bewitched, instead of an actual remake -- I thought that sounded inventive and interesting. But in actual execution, it's so poorly handled by the director and writers that it's just a confusing distraction. Is Iris/Endora really a witch?? Is there a reason that Isablle's REAL aunt is the same character as the Aunt Clara from the original Bewitched?? What was the deal with Paul Lynde/Uncle Arthur near the end?? Is he supposed to be the same Uncle Arthur from the original show? Because if he is, couldn't they have tried to find someone who actually in some even obscure way looks or sounds like Paul Lynde?? I'll admit that I was so bored by this movie that I stopped paying much attention, so maybe I would have found the answers to some of these questions if I'd been more engaged, but I sort of doubt it.
Nicole Kidman has chosen some amazingly good movies -- I think The Hours and Moulin Rouge will both be shown on some classic movie channel 50 years from now. But she has also picked two of the worst scripts in recent memory -- this one and The Stepford Wives, neither of which will be remembered for anything but their utter awfulness.
There are some movies that are so bad, I actually recommend that you watch them either for unintended laughs or as an example of what script-writers and directors should NOT do. But Bewitched is so terrible that I can't think of any reason to subject yourself to it. If you have a couple of hours to kill, you'd be more entertained by watching paint dry. Or even better, find one of Shirley Maclaine's GOOD movies, like The Apartment or Postcards from the Edge. Just don't waste your time on Bewitched!
