I wouldn't never call Talk Soup a "can't miss" show. But it's one of those shows that I always stick around if I'm channel surfing.
It's been on for 11 years. The hosts really showed a lot, I like how they played with the crew and had smart ass remarks for the idioticy of day time television
Greg Kinnear was a good host to start off with but then NBC called him to do the 1:30 am show. I got really into it when John Henson (he got a white streak on the side of his hair) got in, he was really funny and so sarcastic. Then he left and it hit a low with Hal Sparks (queer as folk now) he lasted for a season and for the last 2 years Aisha Tylor (5th wheel) stepped in and she rocked, he just seemed really comfortable and witty doing this show.
This was really the first show that E! got over. I won't lose any sleep over it (lol) but it's sad to see it go, I'll miss it.
thanx to His heelness for the modification to make it PG
It always pissed me off when Kinnear would go on talk shows and diss Talk Soup. I watched it religiously back then, but found out what a complete prick the guy was the hard way.
Henson grew on me too, but by that point I would only catch it every now and again.
Hal Sparks and Rodge Lodge RUINED the whole show for me.
Aisha seemed all right, but by that point all I ever watched E! for was Stern and the occassional Wild On...
E is one of my favorite networks at the moment. True Hollywood Story is pretty good even if they screw up some of the facts. I like the fact that they update the top entertainment stories at the bottom of the screen every half-hour. Also E is the exclusive home for Saturday Night Live reruns starting in 2003.
As for Talk Soup, the best host was John Henson.

Alright...I've decided to pick up a new portable music player; and I'm debating between a Sony Mini-Disc player or a Sony CD Player; the one I have in mind advertises that I can burn up to 470 songs (via Atrac3plus compression)
