Shhhh. Don't Tell Bernie. Don't Tell Me Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??

I’d like to tell Bernie he looks like the kid on Charlie & The Chocolate Factory that lives in the TV.

 

7 News is by far my favorite local news affiliate and I’ve recently noticed the WHDH production team has taken on the same layout as our dear friends at Bernie & Phyl’s:

The MORE disproportionate people on TV look, the BETTER.

Poor Amanda Grace.  I bet when she was studying TV Journalism, she didn’t think she’d have to look like Tinkerbell flying around the news station every morning placed next to a giant screen rolling through the top stories.     

I thought this standing business was for the meteorology team and I would think one of the major perks of news casting would be filming from the waist up only.  I would most definitely rarely wear pants and on days I felt the need ( if I had lunch plans or something after my shift), I would wear something similar to my celebration pants – my most treasured pajama pants from 1999 covered in champagne bottles purchased in anticipation of the millennium celebration.  They looked great paired with a pair of penny loafers and a large red hooded sweatshirt. (This calls for a special shoutout to my friend LB who thanks to her tenacity and a couple of highlighters saved us from the Y2K crash) .  Thank YOU.

I wouldn’t be surprised if under that desk, Adam was wearing jorts of various styles and Anne could be wearing wind pants for all we know.

 

This morning, Anne Alred was questioning Meredith about her last day and the awkwardness level was a strong 8.  At first Meredith ignored her and then when she did respond, she has clearly checked out.  This was undoubtedly confirmed when at the end of the “Would you pay to watch tigers feed on live prey?” story, her response was : “Whatever”.  It's funny to think about giving your notice at The Today Show...if you give your notice at a desk job, you've definitely checked out immediately after or even before.  It's going to be entertaining to watch this carefree attitude unfold on National TV. 

7 News doesn’t always hit the mark on fashion choices, but I do enjoy the awkward commentary with each other and the Today Show team.  As much as I’m dreading Ann Curry moving into that seat, I’m very much looking forward to these interactions. 

Good morning, good morning, good morning, good morning EVERYONE.
