December 1, 201015 yr Member And is it just me or is Ms. Marysol like a Latina Jillian Barberie? Maybe they're getting ready to Good Day LA The Early Show? That wouldn't be a bad thing. A three second delay with a bunch of drunk, salty anchors. But I don't think network TV is ready for that. I love Good Day LA...The Early Show has never been a success, it's time to shake things up CBS, give me Good Day America! Give me Jillian, Steve and Dorothy!
December 1, 201015 yr Member I don't know why they keep trying with the Early Show. It is always in third place and I don't even know if it turns a profit. Does it? I hope they keep Harry Smith around. I don't like him as much as I did in the CBS This Morning years but he's still one of my favorite hosts on the networks, by far. It actually WAS #2 when it was Smith and Paula Zahn (at least when those Canadian people were anchoring GMA) were there which is why I always thought they should bring back Zahn after her tenures at Fox News and CNN brought her even more recognition. Now I could see Harry Smith doing the Evening News, that be terrific actually. I like Katie Couric and have always felt she's never been properly given a chance (because nobody is willing too), but the program has been gutted then again do we need even need a CBS Evening News anymore? The 70+ crowd is dropping like flies nowadays I think if at all Couric may as well be the last anchor of the CBS Evening News.
December 2, 201015 yr Member I don't think they need to drop Harry Smith, he's a star. Erica Hill is also mega fierce, but I expected bigger for her. Not that The Early Show isn't big, but I expected something else. Something people actually cared about. She'll somewhat raise her profile and get a major show on her belt, but I'm sure she'd rather be on Today or GMA.

If Harry Smith isn't taking over for Katie Couric, then this sounds like a budget cut. Get some cheaper, younger talent in and hope they pull up the ratings. But the problem is that The Early Show doesn't even TRY to be different from GMA and Today. In order to raise ratings, The Early Show needs to step outside of the box.
December 3, 201015 yr Author Member The weatherman found the decision "jarring": http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/cbs-weatherman-dave-price-ouster-55662 Harry Smith will become the permanent fill-in anchor CBS Evening News, Face the Nation and Sunday Morning.
December 3, 201015 yr Member Dave Price. All hype. Does anyone remember hearing that he wanted Barker's job when they were doing auditions.
December 9, 201015 yr Member (Why blame the weatherman for something besides the weather? Did he forget to convert from Celsius?) Apparently this clever writer watches morning show weathermen as much as he watches 60 Minutes...not too often.

December 29, 201015 yr Member Way too much going on -- it gave me a headache. It also seems dated. I can see why you said Jeff Glor is cute. The other guy reminds me too much of a homelier Seth Meyers.
December 29, 201015 yr Member Way too much going on -- it gave me a headache. It also seems dated. I can see why you said Jeff Glor is cute. The other guy reminds me too much of a homelier Seth Meyers. I just wish Glor had been promoted to host so we can see even more of his sexy self. When CBS News interrupted The Talk last week, I was inclined to change the channel until I saw Jeff Glor doin the Special Report. Chris Wragge looks well, ragged. And what bothers me most about this promo that they spent money to make is that it doesn't tell me why I should be watching NOW! It's just "The new crew is here. They're younger, they're hotter, they use a five year old Rooney song in their ad, they're doing fakeass Friends bullshit minus the fountain!" But what's gonna make THEM more watchable than Harry Smith, Maggie Rodriguez, and Dave Price? Is Moonves just gonna let them go all out wild and Good Day L.A.? Or is this still gonna be some kind of serious news show? WHY should we watch? The fact that you have younger people anchoring just isn't enough. Moonves needs to trash that bitch up and have the girls hung over and the guys totally wasted or something.
December 29, 201015 yr Member And they don't even look that much younger, really. The whole thing is kind of "You like me, you really like me!" They should do Naked News if they want to get attention.
