The Rotten Tomatoes Show[]
The Rotten Tomatoes Show was a movie review program that aired on Current TV, based on the movie review site "RottenTomatoes.com". Hosted by Brett Erlich and Ellen Fox, the show takes viewer-generated reviews and combines them to make a full review segment. The show was canceled and later aired as a segment on infoMania, another Current TV show.
