I haven't watched since Meredith left, I think she was carrying that entire program on her back during her entire stint there.

Apparently, NBC tried to get her back when they ousted Ann, but she refused knowing how icky this whole thing is. Meredith still makes occasional appearances on Today though.

I love this.

I always liked Ann Curry on the rare occasions I watched Today, so I am glad they are getting backlash over this. I'm also surprised, as I don't remember any criticism of the way they treated Deborah Norville.

I don't think Ann Curry fit but that's mostly because the rest of them are so fake. I said earlier the Today Show has been losing viewers going back to 2010. They will find that simply trading Ann Curry for Savannah Gutherie won't change that. She was never the issue. I don't think NBC ever rebounded from the complete disaster with Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien.

Gee NBC just continues to exude class. Tell me anyone who thinks these leaks were not orchestrated by NBC months ago to get the public to start doubting Ann Curry's value at Today. I'm convinced Lauer wanted her gone. Funny how the leaks just started spilling info at the time Lauer was renegotiating his contract.

It's just tacky and desperate. They seem to have this mentality that they can get viewers to scapegoat an easy target and see NBC as a victim. They did the same thing with Conan. Even if you never liked Conan, you knew what was going on.

    • Well given the rumors I can see why. Monyetta (and foine Heath) supposingly stepped up. And then new girl Courtney was gunning for that peach. Surprised she did not get 7th Housewife place.   I don't think the FOHs on RHOA have been this important since Season 6.     
    • Ryan's Hope had to endure a lot of recasts, but I found the ones I saw mostly worked.  Mary Ryan - Of course Kate Mulgrew was a star in the role, but I feel like had they stuck with Mary Carney, they would've been fine. I guess the pressure of recasting such an important character got to them which is what led to Kathleen Tolan who was dreadful and probably killed any interest in the character. Nicolette Goulet was fine, but I was over Mary at that point. Siobhan Ryan - Sarah Felder was EXCELLENT and should've never been fired for such stupid reasons, but I loved Ann Gillespie in the role. Marg Helgenberger was loved in the role (although not a personal favorite). I also though the last Siobhan (Barbara Blackburn) was good she just needed more time. Frank Ryan - This was probably their most successfully recast role. I always liked Frank regardless of who played him. Daniel Hugh Kelly was my favorite, but they were all good. I know the original gets mixed reviews, but I didn't mind him either. The only Ryan kid they absolutely could not recast was Pat. None of the recasts felt like the same character to me. It wasn't that they were bad actors, but they weren't Pat. 
    • Kassie did some very strong work during her time as Eve. The writing was generally just not there, and they had no vision for the character. That said, the way she was brought on, it made sense for her to have hardened this much -- I don't think it was the most enjoyable thing to watch, but Eve had had a rough life. It felt like a legitimate evolution of a character who hadn't been seen for 20+ years, but people don't usually watch soaps to see a completely new iteration of a character they once enjoyed.
    • Im SHOCKED that the friends are in the promo bc usually they dont promote them like this. They should have had more than 6 wives.
