Quote:Brutal honesty works far better than trying to candy coat things.  If the show isn't good, there's really not a tactful way to say it sucks.  Especially when the badness starts with the title of the show and it's downhill from there. 

 

At least he knows what he needs to work on to improve the show.  Start with a new name for the show, then fix everything else. 

 

If he's determined to make something of it, he's got to know where to start. 

Brutal honesty does work, sometimes.

 

Rude doesn't equal honest, same as being empathetic does not mean that what is being said is watered down. It's more effective to deliver criticism in a respectful and factual way. Partciularly when being done publicly. Private is a different manner, one on one. But to do it in a public manner doesn't work.
