Entertainment Tonight

This show is unbelievable in that . . . what it represents and what it focuses on and . . . words cannot describe how insane ET is. They will report anything. If a celebrity is even remotely indirectly connected to the story ET will report on it. If a dog poop in the Tom Cruise's yard they will report on it. If a celebrity dies . . . they will talk about it for weeks on end to the point where the public envy that celebrity. If a celebrity is on trial . . . ET will report it for MONTHS on end. There is no end to what this show will reports and no time frame that dictates how long they will focus on a story. Is it even considered legitimates reporting? The reports are so dang annoying too, with harsh rambling voices and end with an unnecessary pause to convey a sense of important. I cannot watch this show without questioning humanity's existence. ET is one big reason I avoid pre-evening shows in general. I regret that IMDb can only allow a minimum of one star rating and not zero or even in the negatives. For this show deserve -10 Stars.

Don Knotts, Darrin McGavinn & Dennis Weaver died this weekend. RIP. ET only talked about how Don was anorexic! ET and the Insider are the two biggest pieces of crap on the air. I used to never miss it. Now its all self-promotion and medical tabloid garbage! I remember in the old days when someone of Don Knotts stature, Dennis Weaver or Mr. McGavinn passed the entire show would be a tribute to them, I would tape them --now Dancing With The Stars 10 min. 700 LB MAN OR 40 LB FASHON STICK 12 min. --- Mr. Knotts with a 50 year entertainment history- 2min !!!! Maltin gives 1 min. on Weaver and 30 seconds about McGavvin and A Christmas Story! SHAME!

I remember watching this when it first aired and for quite a few years afterwards. It was the only show that covered entertainment news in depth with interviews with actors, and on set and behind the scenes footage.

Then there was this stretch where it had Marie Osmond on. All. The. Time. When there was no news about her. She was just kind of there because. That's it! Because. I'm like, why aren't they showing some news on other actors, shows, movies, even soap actors. But no, they had her on all the time for no reason. I think this may be when I stopped watching. I can't quite remember. But I got tired of this.

The other thing was that they covered Anna Nicole Smith before and after death way too much. It was actually kind of exploitive. I felt like someone there had a "thing" for her or something, and kept covering because of that. I mean, not to speak ill of the dead, but the woman didn't do very many film or tv projects. Why exactly all this coverage? I think this coverage probably was very unhealthy in her situation.

Different hosts seem more into shmoozing with the stars than actually asking good questions. Many times the questions are silly. It is a fluff show. They only seem to cover so-called flavor-of-the-day stars/shows/movies. Whereas I was interested in seeing other stars and shows being covered as well.

Thank gawd, for the internet and all the different choices for online entertainment magazines with interviews and in-depth coverage of shows and movies. And, they do cover the stars and shows I'm interested in. It's great because I can just pick and choose what I am interested in.

We don't need this show anymore. Started out good, but lost itself somewhere along the way. 3/10.

I have to agree with PHeath60. The case of JonBenet Ramsey has nothing to do with entertainment. You need to stop sensationalizing this sad,sad event. Let the nightly news handle the news. Stick to entertainment.

Here's what PHeath60 had to say:

I have watched ET for the LAST time. I could NOt believe that an Entertainment show about Hollywood would show a picture of JonBenet Ramsey's body on TV last night. It was the most disgusting thing I have ever seen. They showed the side of her face/head and you could see the cord around her throat and they also showed her hand. There is NO reason to do that...it has nothing to do with Hollywood and it was in the poorest taste of TV I have ever seen. No parent/family member should have to worry about turning on the TV and seeing their child/grandchild's body plastered on the screen with no warning like that.

Incredibly superficial, out of touch, foolish, self-absorbed hollywood. This show makes my skin crawl. I guess it is still on tv because it is cheap to produce and fulfills alot of hollywood egos.
