Sorry, folks, I was never really a fan of hers to begin with.

So far, they've really only got two names attached as weekly regulars, Whittaker and Garofalo. Which is pretty much with they had with CM, Patinkin and Gibson and you could probably count Moore. So it's not like the original show was just about outstanding story-telling. They also hedged their bets with a couple of recognizable faces and that's, so far, what they've done here.

I don't necessarily agree with the actual selections, either creatively or from a marketing standpoint, but it doesn't seem like an unusually excessive push for name talent to me.
