CNN deserves a Peabody award compared to ABC's overnight news show
Edited on Thu Oct-25-07 04:56 AM by SoCalDem
the chatty hosts.. an attractive young guy and equally cute woman pal ask each other questions after each "news" item..

Fullest moon on the year?

he: Wow that's beautiful..do you like moons?
she: Of course I do, who doesn't like moons

Bit about "Holly" Berry's remark?

he: at least she wasn't driving, was she?
she: no..no one got hurt this time, did they?
(laughter from crew)

The fires?

he: Gee those firemen look tired, don't they?
she: Yes, those fires are pretty bad, aren't they?

1. I agree...
this used to be a great show...Aaron Brown, David Muir, and others cut their teeth on it over the years. They've really dumbed it down terribly. I saw that segment on the moon...he acted like a "2 Streeter" as we say here in Philly.

Tamala Edwards is our new early AM gal on the ABC local news here...she was funny and charming when she did the ABC WNN, but she's playing it straight here since that's the station's way....I think she has star power, her husband works for our 5 star restaurant whose office is in my building...she's beatiful and charming.

shame about the WNN, though..

2. I remember the good ol' days of Aaron Brown, Lisa McRee and the World News Polka
Lisa McRee was really, really great and Ian Shoales did commentary. Sigh. I am so old and geeky.

5. That was my favorite part.. It was a good show when Aaron Brown
and Thalia Assuras were on.. They were very good and the show was entertaining, but not stupid..
