Nancy Grace

If you’ve ever watched CNN during the eight o’clock hour, you’ve been fortunate to witness Nancy Grace. I guess she’s Fox’s answer to Greta Van Susteren although they’re not in competing time slots.

The first time I watched her, I believed I was watching an old Saturday Night Live episode. I thought to myself, “Oh, here’s an episode I’ve never seen before”. I was enjoying laughing at her and the performance and at some point I realized thatNancy Grace was a real show on CNN.

Okay, where should I start. Let’s start with the crazy eyes and that wacky delivery. Am I the only one that finds this highly amusing? Or disturbing? Is she serious? The episode I’m watching tonight, she’s going on and on about escaped prisoners and attempts humor by showing an old “Hogan’s Heroes” WHAT?? “They tied bed sheets together, BED SHEETS..” she quiped.

Her interviewing skills are pathetic. [Wow, there’s actually a worse interviewer than Larry King?] I’ve seen high school plays with better acting and conviction. It almost looks like some of her guests are trying not to laugh. They have that look on their face as if they’re biting their inner lip to keep from uncontrollable laughter.

So, exactly what were the brain trusts over at CNN thinking when they put Nancy Grace in a prime time slot. I’m curious to know what their other options were. You can visit any town in the US and find a compelling talk show host, a trustworthy anchor, a funny weather person. But no, Nancy Grace won out. What’s next… a talking dog. Actually, that would be pretty cool!
