    Rock Center may not be a ratings smash, and not all of its experiments may work. But the good news is, Williams and Stewart can both keep their day jobs.

    Substantive without being stuffy, workmanlike but something less than a wow, the show often seemed indistinguishable from his Nightly News gig, albeit with longer stories and more opportunity for in-studio banter.

    In general, Rock Center was lively without being crass, disappointing in that it didn't engage much in the news of the day.

    Rock Center is still a work in progress, so it's hard to judge how it will fare.
