Inside the Actors Studio: TV Guide News

Performers and directors discuss their lives, inspirations and craft as they weather a shower of compliments from host James Lipton before an audience of students from New York's Actors Studio. Along with ample film clips and his stack of blue index cards, Lipton's borderline obsequiousness became the show's trademark (and fodder for 'SNL' parody), and a hit with viewers, who turned the series into a consistent ratings grabber for Bravo.

What the heck have they done ... | Matt Roush | 9/10/2007
Question: What the heck have they done to Bravo? The network has been completely destroyed. I loved The West Wing, Project Runway, Inside the Actors Studio — heck, even the first season of Blow Out was mildly diverting.
