Let me at least attempt to get things back on topic by saying that H2 was a great revival...every season except the 4th brought some improvements, and it only got better when Whoopi left...Henry Winkler and Michael Levitt really turned the show around, even if it ended up being too little too late.
Tom Bergeron proved himself to be one of the best GS finds of the decade, and while I understand his not wanting a career in the biz (when an Early Show replacement for Bryant Gumbel was sought 2 yrs ago, Tom's "con" in a pros/cons article about the potential candidates was "He's a *GS host*, for goodness sakes"), if he ever changed his mind, I'd love to see him do another show.
As for the celebrity bookings, even I was impressed...before Celeb WWtBaM came along, where else would you see such high-caliber stars as Garth Brooks, Pamela Anderson, Cindy Crawford, the entire Baldwin family, Carol Burnett, Robin Williams, Billy Crystal, Ray Romano, et al?
So to the cast/crew, you can be proud of yourselves for putting together a damn good show...6 years is nothing to shake a stick at, and once again, it's twice as long as Davidson's version lasted...if producers ever needed a guidebook on how to revive a classic GS, this would be it.
Farewell, H2...we'll miss you.
