For the first time in 32 years, ABC's "New Year's Rockin' Eve" show aired without Dick Clark (who is recovering from a stroke). Regis Philbin subbed, and was way less than impressive. Part of my disappointment, though, was probably a result of seeing the show on tape delay in the central time zone. Even though everything looks live, it's just not the same watching the ball drop when you know it actually came down an hour earlier on the east coast....
Aw Reeeeeeeg!
I didn't watch it, feeling much the same way you do. They showed a live shot of Times Square at 1am EST and it was just a mess of ticker tape and cleanup crews. Not the same at all!
