Members Max Posted June 20, 2012 Members Share Posted June 20, 2012 Though I can't find any on YouTube, ABC has already started airing promos for Good Afternoon America. Here is an article about the new show: http://nymag.com/dai...on-america.html Of course, I don't want to make a final judgment on the program until I see it. However, based upon the promos, it seems like a totally unnecessary television show. I've certainly never been a fan of Lara Spencer (because she comes across as phony). It's obvious that ABC--following the lead set by NBC--is trying to milk GMA for all its worth. But, as others have noted, the rapport that Kathie Lee and Hoda have will be hard for Josh and Lara to duplicate. I do suspect, though, that GAA will pull in decent ratings. It's very telling that ABC refuses to make a statement regarding GH's fall time-slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted June 20, 2012 Members Share Posted June 20, 2012 I think Lara Spencer and Josh Elliott already have chemistry and are 10 times better than those tired smug hosts over at the Today show. That said, I have no interest but then I dont have much interest in the Today show either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Max Posted June 21, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 21, 2012 I am honestly not very familiar with Josh Elliott, but am interested in finding out more about his career. Aside from GAA, does anybody know if there has there ever been a daytime television show that started out on a temporary basis (or, more specifically, one that a network publicly announced would be temporary)?

Members JackPeyton Posted June 21, 2012 Members Share Posted June 21, 2012 I really like Lara Spencer and Josh Elliott and will be checking this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted June 21, 2012 Members Share Posted June 21, 2012 Josh Elliott came from ESPN same as Robin Roberts and he was very popular there.he's very energetic yet comes across very relaxed and oddly relatable on screen. Lara is an entertainment reporter who's to me fresh and bubbly and fun. I will say her kind of appeal IMO can wear out very quickly though. I don't find either of them pompous which is a big issue with the Today hosts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Max Posted July 5, 2012 Author Members Share Posted July 5, 2012 No time is being wasted on GMA in promoting GAA. This is somewhat perplexing, because (since I last posted) GH's new fall time slot has been announced. I am really not impressed with the clips of the show that I have viewed thus far. (I am also very confused, as I thought GAA was going to be a live program.) It just seems like GAA will be an hour of TMZ garbage, with an annoying audience thrown in. As boring as it was, The Revolution was a big improvement (at least when compared to the GAA promos), but its combination of corny and clinical (as SFK aptly observed) doomed it to failure.

Members JaneAusten Posted July 5, 2012 Members Share Posted July 5, 2012 Well see how popular TMZ is so no shock to me. Frankly I don't get how anyone can sit and watch TMZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JaneAusten Posted July 10, 2012 Members Share Posted July 10, 2012 I wouldn't say it bombed. It had a soft start, but if this is bombing so are days and GH I wasn't keen on the show but I don't like these pop culture shows. It reminded me of TMZ. But I do think it has an advantage over the others. Josh and Lara do work well together. Were folks really expecting GMA numbers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted July 10, 2012 Members Share Posted July 10, 2012 I am interested to see the numbers of The Today for yesterday's show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
