Mixed reactions from blue News readers: "It was always a Gaga show"

User Simsalabim writes in the comments: "That was always a Gaga show.... These C-list celebrities who think they're something better... This show can be replaced or deleted."

PD_Speudi thinks: "Never watched a single minute - no loss... Maybe there will be something intelligent in this slot in the future?"

"Could have been discontinued earlier after Glanz&Gloria", says Colorless-Ratificati.

And user Mahort writes: "Not that I'm specifically talking about G&G, but all the settings recently... Why don't you just stop SRF altogether, it'll be quicker than the salami tactic!"
