I just read Jim Kershner's review and naturally thought, well, maybe I was too hard on this show. <br />My _impression_ was that I had written a mixed-but-mostly-negative review. (Which _is_ how I felt, and feel, about the show.)<br />Here's the silly stat: A line count here reveals 54 lines negative, 36 complimentary. That works out to a review that's 60 percent critical and 40 percent positive.<br />Such things can't be quantified. We remember the criticisms only (at least I do), so that a review like this can seem entirely negative.<br />But it wasn't.<br />That doesn't make my opinions definitive -- far from it.<br />It's just that reviews are _often_ mixed.Bobo the Theater Hohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02543482882758983557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15527783.post-30458198951808046132010-03-21T20:43:20.639-07:002010-03-21T20:43:20.639-07:00Sorry.
