It also sets high expectations for the show. But perhaps those expectations were already set high when the majority of the guest lineup was published. Having guests like Mathew Lillard, Skeet Ulrich, Natasha Henstridge, and Clint Howard is usually something reserved for shows in much larger markets. Having them in Shreveport is a big deal for the local geek community.
