Rating:  - A Welcome Change for Talk Television
This show is one of the better talk shows I've ever seen, mostly because of the guests Rollins gets to come on- Bill Maher, Ozzy Osbourne, Kevin Smith, Paul Thomas Anderson, for example- and the fact that they're actually talking about real issues and aren't censored (this is also a bonus for the musical acts), instead of telling an anecdote or two. The musical guests are also great- Jurassic 5, Damian Marley, and Ben Folds are among my favorites from Season 1.
Overall, Rollins makes ... Read More
Rating: - Solid half hour jabs at all the BS
Maybe it's because I subscribe to a Rupert Murdoch owned pay tv enterprise but as far as material like that which you see on Rollins show goes I am definitely NOT spoilt for choice, if however I wanted to hear people rant about the dangers of iran, china, terror at my doorstep etc then I have plenty to keep me going, so that's the first reason I like this show. Secondly Rollins promised that on this show he would be talking about important subject matter which he does and when interviewing celebrities ... Read More
Rating:  - An average show for an average host/standup/"spoken word" guy....
I've watched much of Henry's "spoken word" (which is really standup comedy, Henry is just being pretentious in calling it "spoken word"), I've watched this TV show, read many of his interviews (Henry has done a ton of interviews, never saying no to a microphone), and read a bit about him, and I'm not overly impressed. I don't understand why everyone thinks he's some sort of artistic genius. He's not terrible, but he is not a man of great depths and profundity. This TV show is promoted as hip and edgy ... Read More
Rating:  - Please enter a title for your review
He opens with a rant about how his show is going against the grain and then proceeds to stick as closely as possible to the talk show template. Interviews are made up of typical talk show non-questions, the goal being just to get the guest to blather vaguely about something so you have something to air. I hoped and even expected to learn something about the guests. In most cases I didn't. The interviews with both Oliver Stone and Patton Oswalt consist of Rollins and his guest giving each other paranoid anti ... Read More
Rating: - Great Show, But Missed Opportunity on DVD
Rollins' show is a thoroughly engrossing mix of no-audience one-on-one interviews where the interviewer actually listens to his guests and holds a genuine discussion with them, along with sharp, no-holds-barred commentary pieces from Henry himself.
And then, there are great musical performances from artists you would rarely see on the usual late night talk shows, and it's the musical part where I give this DVD a huge star-off deduction. Pretty much every musical act does two numbers, but Rollins ... Read More
