Talk:George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight

message: This is about 'Season One'.  The new season started on November 7th, with many changes.  Videos will probably start appearing on the show's website within a few weeks, after which this should be updated. (For example, the format has changed dramatically.)
During the december 14, 2005, George, talking about this article, mentioned that the show does not specifically target a younger audience, so I think it should be removed from the article (2nd paragraph I think)--72.138.175.46 01:41, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Watch the segment again, when he referred to the show not expressly targeting younger viewers, his comments were certainly said sarcastically and meant to be taken as tongue in cheek. If the show were not meant to attract a younger audience, Don Newman would be the host. mhunter 04:43, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with mhunter and have included more on that in the last paragraph.  I don't agree with taking out the point about targeting a younger audience. No matter what George says, that was CBC's intent.  It should stand.  Sunray 07:03, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: 2005 update needed

message: In my opinion, it was incorrect to merge The Hour and George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight thus blurring the separation between two shows. Admittedly George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight is totally different. We should have kept The Hour article tackling its six seasons distinctly, we should have created a separate George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight article tackling only Tonight as it commenced its season 1, after end of The Hour. As things stand now, the distinction is gone. These are two separate programs, two separate formats, even two separate audiences. I propose a discussion and hopefully a concensus to restore The Hour article and restart a new Tonight article only related to Septemver 20, 2010 and onwards. werldwayd (talk) 05:57, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I have now created a new format section for George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight attributing almost all earlier materials solely to The Hour as they don't apply to the new show werldwayd (talk) 03:30, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: On merging ''The Hour'' article into ''George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight''

message: This article clearly needs to be split into George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight and The Hour (Canadian TV show) (where it used to be).  The article itself says that The Hour "was discontinued".  George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight is not thus not actually the same show.  It's clearly a successor show with a similar format and many of the same people working on it. Putting them in the same article is about like putting The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien and Conan (TV series) in the same article. We just don't do that.  See comments above, like "I have now created a new format section for George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight attributing almost all earlier materials solely to The Hour as they don't apply to the new show", for examples of why trying to combined two related TV shows (or other works of any kind) into one article can be problematic and confusing.  Another issue is that we are falsely stating that George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight won awards which were actually presented to The Hour, a different show with (mostly) a different run-time, a different broadcast schedule, many different personnel, and even format differences. — SMcCandlish   Talk⇒ ʕ(Õلō)ˀ  Contribs. 15:04, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Funny, on http://www.cbc.ca/strombo/ the first season as George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight was previously referred to as season seven. Now, that season is indeed being referred to as the first season, though episodes of The Hour are still there for viewing. If you wanna separate them, I'm OK with it.--EclecticEnnui (talk) 03:21, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

text: I think the subsection is fine, since the shows are fundamentally the same, on the same network and time slot there is no reason to split it.MilkStraw532 (talk) 20:11, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

text: On the show, George has actually referred to this season as the 8th season at least a couple of times. I agree with the others. It's actually probably best to keep it as it is. Can that split tag be removed now?--EclecticEnnui (talk) 02:27, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  I decided to go ahead and remove it.--EclecticEnnui (talk) 04:28, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
