Well, yes, unless they don't have the words "river" and "dance" in their title, the interval acts tend to be the most un-interesting part of the contest, just a way to pass the time until the voting is ready to roll. Still, a completist like me likes to have the whole experience, so here it is. Besides, you could skip the intro and check out the mini-interviews - they do present a certain interest...
Yes, indeed you're right! Really, it seems that whenever the Netherlands has organised the contest, they've always brought sth fresh and original to the show. Some ideas haven't stuck (such as the "individual presenter for each entry" thing in 1980, though it surely was a nice touch), but some have become an essential part of the contest (mainly the postcards, which you were the first to introduce in 1970!)
