Craig Ferguson Firecracker
Agree that the choice of Ferguson is always mysterious - how can someone usually so clever be both over-the-top and boring at the same time? As for fireworks, FWIW and IMVSO (in my very subjective opinion), I still liked Boston's actual fireworks better than NY's and DC's - much as I would have loved to be at any of those places last night.
DC and NYC were YUGE, but there was something institutional-patriot-corn about DCs, and NYC's was the Broadway-corn version of that, although one of the six bouquest of munitions was always a little late, which was entertaining. Boston's, although on a much smaller scale, was artful, coordinated with sense and mood of music, and expressed a range of things besides Spectacular Spectacular. Yeah, I'm a firework snob who doesn't get that they're supposed to be Big and Loud and.
Well, maybe that's why they choose Ferguson. Cyanna: You said it well. I'm interested to see that there were others who agreed with us.
I don't much care if Feguson's a new citizen, 'patriotic' (that's debatable, if he's drunk when he's on the job here!), or what. They can and should do better. But, if people want that, then I guess they deserve what they get! We'll pass, thanks. Yes, we kept wondering why Macy's would waste so much money just having several barges ALL doing the SAME THING!
Why not some artistry, perhaps using one to 'hand off' to the next, to create an exciting series of some kind? NYC/Macy's approach seems to be just BIGGER, LOUDER, and MORE, MORE, MORE - even if it got boring enough that we tuned them out and went to Boston's to wait for them. S were okay, with the lovely monuments in the background, but I personally could have done without the first couple of performers. However, I admit bias in favor of instrumental/symphony/band music vs singers who 'sing' words that seem mostly indecipherable. First of all, Craig Ferguson has hosted this show for the past three years and has done a good job. He is hosting, he's not doing a comedy act.
Craig Ferguson Tour
This memorable visit by Craig's 'little brother' has it all - dancing, Fringe firecracker, and ESPN UK with bonus mustache mishaps. One of the renowned 'yellow.
Craig Ferguson Show
I do agree that he seemed a bit preoccupied, but I think its because he is on tour with his comedy show at the same time. Secondly, he has been a outspoken American patriot forever especially since he has become a citizen. Something that not enough folks do these days! Lastly, he was not drunk. I think it is a shame that one would make a statement like that who has no proof of his truthfulness. I guess that's why there are blogs so folks can say whatever they want while hiding their identity! I believe if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all!

Ferguson has proven to be a very unique and talent entertainer. Better than all the other stuff out there lately!
