Rocketboom So what's the deal with Rocketboom? It's really popular with some people. Popular enough for TiVo to pick it up. But I don't get it. The young, perky anchor is certainly attractive, but anything else?
I have found it to be hit or miss. Sometimes Amanda is very funny and sometimes not, but I think that has a lot to do with them trying to do too many shows. Check the archives. Her personal vblog can be even funnier because it isn't always the same (Daily Show-like) format like Rocketboom. Maybe its the pressure of being picked up by TiVo and iTMS. *shrug*
