[do something well-not half assed-or don't do it at all]

There is a radio show that I listen to-Let's Talk TV-which is-I am not going to mince words here-troubled. First of all, there's the matter of the trouble the people doing the show -Barbara Barnett and a few of her friends- have with their equipment. It seems like the show stops and starts while it's on and there are drops and halting,or isn't on at all, and the reason given is that they are having some sort of technical trouble. And this has happened more than once.It happened  just last week, actually.

Or they just randomly quit having shows, as was what happened earlier this year. Without warning, no shows-for several months, and no word on when it might be on again-but when it did, it was after ComiCon-and even that was rescheduled a couple of times. On the face of it, it seems Barbara Barnett has some problems with being flakey(that's putting it mildly..)

She's  flakey,but also she's a very fair weather fan-she was in the House fandom but..didn't drop out exactly..she made her feelings about some of the storylines on the show,and was very forceful about them,and they became popular opinion in the fandom(never mind that there were a lot of people that disagreed with her..it didn't matter.)

Then, she  wrote about(and talked about on her radio show) Once Upon A Time for  quite a while but again, as with House,she didn't like certain storylines and said she wasn't going to talk about it on her show/review episodes.

Like I said in another post about this, I wouldn't be at all surprised if  she moves on to another show if the showrunners do something that she doesn't like. She can't get away with what she did in the House fandom-people are on to her-and I think some fandoms are less tolerant of drama bullshit than others.

And I get it-she writes about  pop culture for a living-but sometimes I think that she is completely unobjective about certain things-TV shows being one of them.
