When they announced the premiere of The Revolution and The Chew, they both sounded like they had potential. But after seeing both shows, I was reminded of the episode of Star Trek where the transporter split Captain Kirk into two different sides of his personality. The Chew was all of the fun parts of daytime talk shows: guest stars, cooking, games, food, entertaining, laughter, audience participation, etc. The Revolution, on the other hand, was every sad, pathetic, boring aspect of (newer) daytime talk: self-help, sad stories, "turning your life around," makeovers, and so on. It's not difficult to guess which one lasted, and which one was canceled within a year.
