WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! If you don`t want to see the worst show on tv, DON`T watch NBC's "The NEW Show". It`s basically a rotten take-off on Saturday Night Live". I watched the premere & thought I may have found something as it opened with Steve Martin doing a spoof of Michael Jackson`s "Bilie Jean" video. Good stuff. From there it plummetted to the pits. It was barely funny. I decided to give it a second chance Friday, cause they had John Candy on, who I think is very funny. Carrie Fisher and Paul Simon aslo guest starred, but the material was so bad nobody could save it. Next week if I`m home on Friday night, I`ll wait till 9:30 to turn on the t.v. and watch "Honeymooners" reruns. Now THAT`S comedy! "The NEW Show" deserved the fate of the ABC series "GO" (It was cancelled after only 1 show)! Tom O`Connor
