I remember when it was a 15 minutes show, that was too long.

On the great retro style Ellery Queen series with David Wayne and Jim Hutton (1975-76) the father said:"It says here in the paper that a television network is going to experiment with having a news program each evening at 6:00. It will never work. The American people will never stand for it. Seeing what's on the news on TV at the dinner hour! They'll get indigestion!"

That would be admitting they made a mistake.

You’re probably right.

However, Glor was quite likable and thoroughly professional.

I will not be watching O’Donnell. She is just another mistaken choice by CBS which has been struggling for many years, both in their morning program as well as their evening anchor chair.

I’ll shorten it for you, “Orange Man Bad!”

Thanks. Does anyone know the true origin of "Orange Man Bad"? Was it in a comic, a graphic meme, or where? Anything not from Airplane,Caddyshack or Animal House is difficult for me.

Once upon a time, say 1980, the Big Three had about 35 to 40 millions viewers. Now they fight over dwindling number of people in a smaller and smaller pie. They truly have become Irrelevant.

-——They truly have become Irrelevant.——

Hillary won the popular vote.

There are more of then then there are of us. Ad buyers still support the metworks because of thaat simple fact.

Ignore that fact at our peril

Do not rationalize it away

I don’t have a TV, but was visiting relatives in July, the first week Norah O’Donnell was on. Had to spend a week watching her every evening. I’d never seen her before, but knew her ratings would be bad. Comes across as cold and mean.

Both O’Donnell and Couric were always lightweight airheads. Pretty to look at, but vacuous upstairs (and I don’t mean in the bedroom).

im sorry..and ill probably get flamed for this, but people dont like listening to women discuss serious issues and politics. They’ve tried this female anchor thing over and over and it just doesn’t work. It is what it is..

It’s CBS fake news and her part in making it moreso. Shocker.
