What makes me go Grrrrr about the Today Show

OK..... here is my first post!

What makes me go ‘Grrrrrrrr’ about the Today Show

First of all, let’s start with the BAB (Big Ass Banner) on the bottom 1/3 of the screen. Why in the world do I need a banner blocking 1/3 of my screen? Many times I cannot even see what they are discussing or showing.

Put your little feathered bird in one small corner and call it good.

Next, do you ever feel like you are on a treadmill going 100 MPH watching the Today Show?

Case in point, one morning Natalie was trying to interview Alicia Keys and had to cut her off because they ran out of time for the interview!! This happens ALL THE TIME on this show. Just before the interview, they had a story on “dumb hobbies” and spent WAY TOO MUCH TIME on a segment on “aircraft flight watching”, not worthy of showing in the first place.

I am tired of putting up with the Today Show producers not giving enough time to segments and having to skim through them. I can only imagine how these guests feel to be brought in at the crack of dawn and then get their 2 minute segment cut down to 53 seconds! Like, “hey… don’t ask me ever again to do this!”

Now it is time to discuss some of the crew.

Matt and Meredith can stay for sure. They are the best of any morning show anywhere.

Al, on the other hand, has gone from a good weatherman to a silly person that adds no value.

Replace Al with Janice Huff and be done with it!

OK, I know that there are Willard Scott fans out there, but he seems to be drinking on the job as sometimes he cannot even pronounce some basic words and seems to be slurring… and tipsy!

Ann Curry and Lester can move to the news shows for good. They do a great job with news and documentaries, but add no value to the Today Show and are a pain to watch.

Let Natalie take over Ann’s part of news anchor… she is versatile and fun and does a good job.

The same with Amy Robach… she is wonderful, so move her to the M-F shows or at least make her the lead for Sat and Sun.

We can do without Jenna, she is cute, but way too silly and provides no value to the show.

If the Today Show producers make these changes, you will have a wonderful team and show… however leave it as is and watch the other networks take over the viewers… as I have already made the jump… too many ‘grrrrrrrs’ to make me want to stay with the show!
