When this program first started, in 1981, it was a hip look at celebrities. Then Mary Hart came on board and the programs content went downhill with her. I was hoping that when she retired the show would regain the edge it originally had. It has not, and in fact has gotten even worse if that is possible.Most of the report is worship ping the rich and famous but without Robin Leach (who is dead anyhow). This show died when it went to the format it is in now and why it stays on amazes me.The content of the show is so terrible that I can't stand more than 5 minutes of it at any one time. Sometimes it just takes the teaser to hit me like a tabor. The only redeeming quality of the show is if you want to look at pictures of the most annoying famous people. If you want facts or information, you will get more of it on FOX NEWS, CNN or MSNBC than you will here. They are worse than the worst news channels.Then of course, they might be on a par with CBS News though the standards at CBS are so low now journalistic-ally that they spend 20 minutes a night reporting public opinion items which is basically like watching Bill O'Reilly only with spin.As for ET, cancel this show and phone home. This show has outlived it's time like Reece's Pieces.

Entertainment Tonight runs the same 3 or 4 stories every day. We've had a full week of the lady in the fat suit and also Dog the Bounty Hunters grandson! Is there really nothing else going on out there in celebrity land? Really? Either get some new stories on every day or just go to one show per week because you could put everything on one 30 min. show that you guys manage to stretch into one long boring week of shows. Get out there and hustle some real news! You've got great anchors and reporters so lets see some news worthy stories, not the same stories stretched out over a one week period. You guys absolutely beat something to death. New ideas would be the Royal Families, of any country, other stars that don't seem to get as much air time.

Entertainment Tonight has been going down hill for the last few years, but as of last night (Aug 17th 2006) they reached a new low.In an effort to try to hype up their broadcast, they decided to post actual photos of JonBenet Ramsey's body in their teasers last night ...saying "Pictures from the case you have never seen before". The two photos were graphic and very disturbing. One was of the side of her face and head/neck and you could clearly see the cord that was used to strangle her around her neck, and bruising on her face. This was so hideously awful, I could not believe it. How has this got to do with ANYTHING remotely related to Hollywood Entertainment?? Nothing!! They have dropped their level of dignity and values to a new low....and it shows. This used to be THE premiere show to watch...and it's just garbage now.I will watch Access Hollywood from now on.

The opening jingle for Entertainment Tonight is already enough for me to look forward each episodes of it on weeknights here in my country. Ever since I first watched it by chance, I knew I so look forward to it since.For someone like me who most of the time do not really have all the time in the world to read those entertainment news in detail, this entertainment news programme really helps a lot in bringing in the big entertainment news, star gossips, upcoming movies or TV shows and everything else in between together in a 30-minute format. I can say ET (I had so accustomed to call it that way) is actually ahead of other entertainment shows at times, I dare say.I'm already so used to watch the regulars like Mary Hart, Mark Steines, Jann Carl and many more on my TV screen each weeknight. They all know how to do their job by bringing in the latest entertainment news in a professional manner for their audience. Given ET is being syndicated in many countries around the world as well and here in my country too, the show has a reputation to live up to.Often the major events like the Oscars, Grammys, the Golden Globes and even the Cannes Film Festival and also the popular American Idol, ET always know how to present it well.Too busy with your daily life? Then Entertainment Tonight is the show who want their entertainment fix - fast!
