RE: Killarney Kommotion (2013 to Present)
Okay, well in the larger context of the ongoing Party Rocker defense of the show vs. the Pretzel Kaiser criticism, it looks to me like PR is stating that the show
is good as a matter of objective fact.
Honestly, the show is entertaining. It holds no quality or award winning values, but it keeps a general guest entertained for ten minutes.
I defend Party Rocker all the time, but that seems like a pretty flat statement of fact, to me.
In the end, if I'm wrong, I apologize. But usually when these discussions blow up into arguments is when people get out of the realm of opinions -- "oh,
I like x,y,z!" or "yes
I thought so-and-so was great!" -- and get into the realm of making declarations -- "this show
is good [read: whether you're too stupid to realize it, or not]". Nobody can win those debates and they go in circles (as evidenced by the fact that after a long ban, PR and PK picked up right where they left off debating the exact same issue).
My opinion of Kilarney Kommotion is that it's tired. I don't think it's the worst thing the park has ever done, but I think it has some pretty crummy elements all around. It's like, everything the show does poorly the park has done worse in the past, but never have they put so many bad things into one show. Does that make sense?
Like,
the pop revue soundtrack. Okay, they've done that. Jack is Back. But Jack looked great and was themed really well.
The show concept has little to do with the hamlet....seems kind of thrown together. Well, American Jukebox was kind of like that, but it was generally well received and kind of tucked away in a corner. I don't know...there's something about the cumulative effects of the bad decisions on the show that make it worse than the sum of it's parts, for me.
With all the said though, I don't think it's the worst thing ever. That honor, in my mind, still goes to One Last Jam.
