So...who watched Fashion Police?

I was disappointed in Kathy Griffen, but I realize she probably feels a great deal of pressure. She may need time to get her feet in the ground and find her own comfort zone. I really had a feeling of a chill between she and Giuliana. Also--I miss George!

When was it on?

It was on tonight, but will probably be repeated tonight and tomorrow and probably more during the week.

I think KG probably is getting her feel for things. She was much tamer than I thought she'd be. I'm sure it was a very hard episode to tape for Kelli and Giuliana. Probably very uncomfortable for all of them. I miss George, too. Does anyone know why he left?

I caught the last half of it. I thought Giuliana acted as though it was her show, which doesn't surprise me.

I saw the last half of it. Kathy wasn't too bad. Brad did pretty good too.

Giuliana just annoyed me to no end. She said she didn't like Amal's gloves, but Kelly pointed out to her that she told Amal she loved them on air.

G was probably just in a bad mood because she is being un over the coals regarding her skinny frame and choice of dress.

I thought Kathy Griffin was kind of stiff and awkward. She just wasn't funny at all. I think she'll probably eventually get in the groove but this wasn't a good first impression. I also thought G acted like Queen Bee and that it was ""her"" show. I've never been a huge fan of hers anyway. I missed the first few minutes. Was Brad just temping for George or is George gone and Brad is taking his place? I thought Brad did a great job.

It is going to take time for them all to mesh... what I can not figure out is why was Kathy chosen when she is just a comedian and has no tie to fashion at all????

It was similar to American Idol having the Ellen on as a judge... and she was not musical at all? Why was Ellen on the judging panel for great music?????

What does Kathy adds to the mix other than sleazy nasty dirty humor? That is the only tie in to Joan Rivers that she has. Both have and had toilet mouths and filthy minds. In than they both mirror each other. Joan did have a knack for fashion... not my kind if fashion... but at least she sold her own line of clothes.

George is not returning. I like Brad.

I guess I don't take it as a serious ""fashion"" show. It doesn't matter what their credentials are.

I'm not a fan of Kathy, but I thought she did a great job.

They chose her because this isn't a SERIOUS show about fashion. We tune in late night to LAUGH. if Melissa would have chosen a stiff, serious, fashion icon, no one would watch....it would be Y A W N....zzzzzz.

I agree. Fashion Police is the perfect mix of humor & actual fashion knowledge. I tune in to see what people are wearing, but mainly to be entertained.

KG has absolutely no knowledge of fashion and is nothing but a crass, foul mouth celebrity. certainly not able to fill Joan's shoes. I see a very short life span for this program.

I guess then the producers need to decide is this show mostly for dirty humor... or is it an actual fashion destination show? I think that they are confusing the viewer.. some will watch thinking that they are going to get fashion advise and instead tune in and get dirty jokes and mean girl type of jokes.

Re: So...who watched Fashion Police?

I never watched for fashion advice.

Kelly and Brad have a lot of fashion knowledge. Kelly is a stickler about ""fit.""

I can't imagine who would be confused by the format. FP has ALWAYS been like this. It's never been a polite, dry, boring show about fashion advice. If it was, NO ONE WOULD WATCH. People tuned in with Joan because it was saucy & irreverent. They tuned in TO LAUGH.

Well with Kathy on board.... what are the other panelists there for? None of them are comedians.. and they all seem to be connected to fashion either by their own fashion line or interviewing people about fashion on the runway live.

Kathy is not fashion related at all.... I can not see how having her with her toliet mouth is going to mesh with the other panelists at all. At least Joan had a bit of fashion and style about her... and she had a fashion line as well.

Joan was known for her being a filthy mouthed comedian.... with a fashion flair.

As much as I loved FP before & as much as I love Kathy w/ her standup routines...I don't see this developing. The chemistry was awkward...granted it needs time to 'cook', but I could easily see it turning into a fashion destination show with more stylists on the panel...but w/out Kathy.

Brad had a ton of one-liners...he's got potential.

It's a different show now than it was with Joan Rivers as host. Only the ratings will indicate if this incarnation succeeds.

I fell asleep while watching. I thought Kathy held herself back a bit. I LOVED Brad G being on there. I felt sorry for kelly - she is not looking good these days. I'll probably watch again if I need help sleeping. lol
