I've eased up on Braun a bit. Something about his presentation -- his name, his look, his attire -- it seems very goofy. That being said, he plays into it. He's like a figure from gothic literature, or some campy novella. There was a period in history where you'd bring a guy like Braun in, push him more sensibly, and try to steal some shows off him. Now that you want everyone to be built for longevity, making him a cartoon character is very...modern.
