In the week that I watched it to get a sample size I found it uninteresting (but then I'm predisposed to dislike dating shows in general) It reminded me of the year that Brad Sherwood helmed The Dating Game, where the three suitors would tell a story about some fascinating fact about them instead of fielding silly questions. The thrust of how Baggage would be presented was known as soon as Jerry Springer introduced himself as host.
It's one more reminder that I'm generally not television's desired audience, so I watch/listen to other stuff. Come, join me and someone will be by to take your drink order.
