This is my take as a viewer since the inception of the first Bitcoin Show episode.
Simple put: The Bitcoin Show is a FAILURE because:
1. Over exaggerated comments Bruce has made that has been shown to be untrue.
2. Lack of content.
3. Blatent censorship/ignoring of important questions (i.e. Why an Mt. Gox auditor needed the plaintext database of users).
4. Unrealistic expectations of bitcoin saying bitcoin only goes "up up up".
5. Making claims of security/decentralization being VERY IMPORTANT then having 25000 btc in one place on a third-party site.
6. Taking 20 shows to get an audio issue fixed. Seriously if you can't hear the show what's the point in watching it.
I do respect the fact that Bruce did come on-air and addressed the mybitcoin.com fiasco but that does not take away from the fact that the show he runs to promote bitcoin is a failure.

#1 and #4 are spot on, the rest are a bit too whiney for a free show/service. I think Bruce's heart is in the right place but he let his eros get the best of him with dramatic claims of BTC rising exponentially and so on. This is dangerously misleading and hopefully he has learned his lesson with the price drop.
That said, point 6 is absolutely legit
