Adding another deck chair to the Titanic. Caught Matthew “Beaver Cleaver’ Smith anchoring and it is painful, and that followed a newly added reporter saying “I can’t swim,” as a ‘fun fact’ while reporting on the Tsunami advisory.

They could have done a segment on fun, wearable floaty devices.

Why does a one hour show need multiple meteorologists? Why does a TV show require a meteorologist at all? I realize the importance of a leggy, attractive woman in a form-fitting dress and a nice smile as she gives us reassuring weather data from Tumwater, Forks or Mukilteo. My personal demographic, though, would be just as happy if she were telling elephant jokes.

Sitcom: Person A leaves the room. Person B follows. Person A slams door. Person B runs into door. Laugh track. Person B yells. Laugh track (louder this time, to help audience understand the “humor”).

Any comments on the emerging AI technology that will replace voices on radio and no doubt people on TV soon as they realize robots work for free and the audience will tolerate anything?

If Andy is as bad at telling jokes as Siri is, the morning show will really suck.

David Rose has got to be the most obnoxious, fake tough guy on television. Worse than John Walsh, he is nauseatingly obsequious to law enforcement and cowardly avoids mention of suspects’ immigration status, even when that knowledge is helpful in solving a crime.
