Meh - it really feels like they're using the original series to prop up
the spinoff...

I watched the first two episodes. It's not like the original series.
There's no characters comparable to Donna and Louis. There's no Jessica
(before her character got ruined after the first couple of seasons).
Arrow is just unsympathetic and nasty, managing to break apart his firm
due to the way he treated people.

It's a measure of how irrelevant network news is now that I don't even
know who this is, and haven't known who several of ABC's and CBS's
recent anchors were either.

I looked him up. He was weekend anchor for ABC. NBC hired him away for
News Now (isn't that overnight?) and substitutes on Today and primetime.

The problem here is that I just don't like Seth Rogan...

He wants your approval! Tell him you can be bought.
