Poll: Just rate the show

[phoenixp3k]

Now, the comments have been all over the forum and from my perspective it's hard to feel the general idea people have of the show.

This poll is really helpful. Now, I'd like to know, if you could rate the #1 thing that you would like to change or modify on Social Brew, what would it be?

Thanks for the feedback, guys.

Undecided yet.
I will give it a couple more eps

I didn't enjoy it but I'm not going to quit on it yet. I'll see how the next few shows go ;)

I doubt REV3 is going to listen to a poll that 20+ people voted on, vs. the download count they get from the show.

If you don't like the show, don't download it. REV3 will notice that over a poll.

However, I would much rather see threads about what they could do to improve the show over threads that are obviously set up to make the new show look bad. I think this thread (http://revision3.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17979) makes some really good points, and sums up some of the issues with the show.

In order to give better feedback I decided to REWATCH the episode (thats dedication right there :p)

The length is just right, half an hour is pretty good. The set looks pretty good, and I don't mind the occasional sound effects either.

Having the floor director Josh interact with Irene is a pretty good idea, but somehow feels a little bit "scripted". The birthday section is great. It's like a short history lesson. Miss M is a show seller (but it's good that her segment is short and sweet).

The #1 thing I would change would be to have the three co-hosts have cups of coffee like Irene has when interacting with her. When we cut to each of their segments it's ok for them to have their laptops (nice looking thanks to the art on them). But I mean, two laptops on that table, hiding Moujan... Makes a contrast of a crowded area vs Irene with a background of an empty coffee place.

It would also be cool to talk about IM clients, I'm thinking about Digsby that describes itself as IM+Email+Social Network. Whether it's instant messages, text messages, plain old phone or Skype calls there are a bunch of ways to keep in touch and socialize.

Personally I found the show to be very non engaging. I think the show could use an actual co-host rather than the unenthusiastic "Brew Crew".

Also I do realize that Social networking is a very "in" thing among today's internet users, but over all I don't see how a show like this can go on for too long. At the end of the day there is only so much to talk about in the Social Networking category.

All In all I may be horribly wrong but that is just how I feel. I will say tho that I find the host Irene McGee a perfect fit for this type of show.

I agree with this post mostly and I would like to add Irene goes on too much about herself and sorta interrupts when she shouldn't.

For me, I will not be watching the show again until Irene is off of it. She is just not right for a revision 3 show, and was honestly a bad host. This show could be so much better with the other 2 girls hosting, but right now it's unwatchable.

Find a new host.

[grundelboy]

I'd like to see the plug pulled if the second show isn't ALOT better.

The host is really that bad. Everybody else on the show seemed to me like they'd like to be anywhere else in the world than doing that show. I like the concept and there's plenty going on in the space for content but the personality of the cast really isn't there and therefore makes it hard to watch.

[matto1990]

I thik some of the co-hosts are just wishing the host would shut up and some points. Like in the news bit where shes constantly asking for personal information from the co-hosts profile. Why would she want to tell that to everyone?

[godmode]

Find a new host.

Hmm I will give Irene some more time but I do think it's time for Neha to stop being in the background in shows as a filler then hop to another show...it's time for her to step up in the spotlight and be the host of a show of her own..not saying it has to be social brew but if we do get a new host for this show in the near future I nominate Neha.

[jax1492]

I watched most of it, sorry too much filler/breaks for me to watch the whole show. Shows with great back and forth conversation like diggnation,trs. internet superstar and even tekzilla keep you watching even if its some product/topic you don't care about. great personalities/hosts really make the show for me. i will add those shows seem so unscripted yet i know they are to some degree.


I just missed the point of the show i guess probally will not watch again, not for me sorry.

[thezach]

I can see potential in the show but it really doesent capture my attention, and frankly the host is annoying as hell.

[grundelboy]

Well the show is over for me.
Not much better then the last one.

Sorry but I feel it doesn't live up to the rest of the revision3 standards.

Is that guy Hispanic or Asian? in this episode he confused me just like Jackie Chan in Shanghai noon.

[scott88008]

I like it. I like all the cast but I would watch it for Moujan alone (I was laughing out loud on my balcony during the netiquette piece. I actually fell over the railing (fortunately I'm on the ground floor).

[pandrogas]

I like the show, if I had to change anything, I think more content and potentially some more humor would be great additions. It has potential and it's getting better bit by bit, but there's still some room for improvement.

I don't mind Irene as the host, I think it's pretty much a new gig for her and I think she'll get better over time as the cast warms up to each other. I actually started to do some digging and found some old clips from "No One's Listening" and she did pretty well as a host (interviewing style is a little eccentric, but hey, nobody's perfect).

I'm waiting a while longer before I can give any real kind of a pass or fail vote because it's only been 4 shows, and from what I've seen, it's going to get better over time as the community chimes in with constructive feedback.

[kwinter]

i think that the show has got a lot of potential...but each segment is way to short...you talk about a subject for a few minutes and then boom immediately the next topic...i don't know if you understand what i want to say (btw: sorry, but i'm not a native english speaker ;) ) but i think you want to cover too much information in one small 20 min-show..

[grundelboy]

I still think the show needs an overhaul.
