I don't really agree. I watched that show for quite a while. Each installment started looking like the last after a pretty short period, till I finally got too bored to tune in. All I ever saw on this 'classic' was cheerleading. The one dwarf who said something negative got fired, and once the bubble popped, the rest of them, the dutifully optimistic dwarves, were stranded together on the "up" lily pad week after week, predicting endless bottoms that never arrived, just being wrong forever. It was almost like a joke. Rukeyser was a pleasant enough character and he (or his writers) did have a way with words. But the show was a monotonous advertisement for the financial services industry, with his wall-street panelists lobbing softballs at the parade of interchangeable pitchmen who were his guests. There were significant surface differences between Rukeyser and CNBC. Rukeyser is a refined gentleman compared with the CNBC circus clowns, and Rukeyser's show wasn't riddled with insane mind-bending ads screaming at you to Day Trade Now, since it was on public TV. But at the core, it was all just a BS pitch for the houses and the funds, just like CNBC. --QS
