Today

Once the Today Show had merit with the likes of Ann Curry but it's become a hollow program more concerned about lame entertainment than meaningful news. I stopped watching. And once, Hoda Kotb was a valuable journalist fell into the trap of entertainment over news and subsequently left Today to devote her time to Hoda and Jenna another lame show that doesn't, however, claim to be anything else. I'm not even sure why I gave it 3 Stars. Maybe it was locality to what it once was.

I love to watch the show but find the talking all at the same time in a very loud voices obnoxious. The food shows are embarrassing for the person trying to show the food one is preparing, all chipping in and can hardly follow what is going on, do they need so many people at that time, just one would be better. Its so rude to all be talking at the same time and I just have to turn it off.

Just watch this show. They show very little news but jump into "feel good" stories after the first 20 minutes. Fake smiles, fake agendas etc... No more Afghanistan stories, Southern border stories etc... They show only what they want. The little boy who has a lemonade stand to make money for firefighters gets 4 full minutes, but human trafficking gets nothing. An old celebrity dies and they get 10 seconds of airtime, a Kardashian comes up with a new line of clothing...5 minutes of airtime. You are watching 4 hours with 95 minutes of commercials. Just time it. The cast are making 10's of millions of dollars per year, off of commercials while you blindly watch.

Someone suggested the show go to a 1 hour format, because that would be plenty of time to get what they wanted in. Well, how about going to a 15 minute format. That's about how much substance there is on any given show.

Even the weather primarily consists of Al Roker joking around on the plaza. I actually like him, but they should stop the charade that he's giving a forecast and just say "Here's Al Roker, who is going to schmooze a bit on the plaza and then unhelpfully gesture toward a map the United States and mention that in some part of the country it will rain. Or not rain."

I literally just timed ten (YES TEN) minutes of commercials. Yes after 5 minutes they popped back in and spoke for about 8 seconds and said "coming up".....but then went another 5 minutes with the ads. It seems they are more interested in making $$$ than actually reporting the news. Plus they are severely biased against the republican party.
