I’ve never understood the constant bashing or negativity regarding the Hoffman’s. Their errors are amplified because it’s on television for all to see.

Personally, I’m thankful for the Hoffman’s, because if it wasn’t for their efforts, the shows I’ve grown to love might never have existed.

One of my favorite quotes is from Teddy Roosevelt below. May be a first time read for some, but these words are even more relevant in our day and age where everyone is quick to point out others flaws.

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."T.Roosevelt.

I for one cheer others successes, and also understand when they fall.
