British broadcaster Walter Blunt begins a different experience by going to Los Angeles. This broadcaster is working on a new experience by offering a nighttime interview program, as Planet talks about how Americans live, think, and behave. During this period, Blunt is constantly harassed by heads of nested networks, and the dysfunctional news team, as he has to deal with the repercussions of his well-intentioned actions in every situation.
Stewart and Scarborough make Blunt Talk worth watching, as they're an offbeat co-dependent pair who clearly have great affection and respect for each other, and watching Stewart embrace Walter's often loony behavior is a treat.
Too many of the characters and situations fail to be either recognizable or fresh, and the satire has no target. Perhaps the title refers to the show's lack of a point.
The waste of this much talent is almost criminal, and, given the nature of the scripts, one charge against the writers would be assault with a blunt object.
