Good Premise, Poorly Executed

Usually I enjoy a good tear jerker, and soldiers surprising loved onesshould hit the mark. But Billy Ray Virus as a host kills it, as doesthe production. Very poorly thought out plans, surprises and unless youare a member of the family or friend being surprised it falls flat. If anything, they should do a more in-depth character study, build upwhat the families have been through, build up some suspense..anythingbut at the end of the day, we don't get to know the families wellenough to really care about the "homecoming" They need a better formula than:See soldier come home, see family cry, lather rinse repeat. Revamp the show and get rid of the host. This isn't supposed to beabout Billy Ray.
