Yeah, that review comes off as weirdly negative. It reads like he had much more inflated expectations for the show than I had.
The Tonight Show inaugural sketch was more gleefully silly than those one, although I think this did as well as the Late Night inaugural 'You Better Be As Good As Letterman' sketch in doing a bit about the story behind the show and deflating that topic before the show proper got going.
