If that's the case, then why did Dr. Brudnoy have such good ratings,  
year in and year out -- while delivering exactly the sort of calm,  
rational, issue-oriented talk that people wanted?  Perhaps it was the  
somewhat professorial style?  (WBZ even did show intros with the  
Professor Kingfisher character from The Paper Chase to emphasize this  
fact.)
