He eats up the first two or three minutes doing nothing but summarizing -- sometimes more than once -- news stories you're going to watch, to the degree that he often literally reports the same thing. (You can switch channels and they're already actually reporting.) Then he's got to interject himself into the news story again by interviewing the correspondent.
If you break down the 18 or 19 minutes of news in between the insufferable and repetitious commercials for pharmaceuticals and home products, there's very little content here anymore. They hit a couple of major events, then do a long segment on the weather, and then wrap it up with some saccharine feel good story about some suburban white kid who had a lemonade stand or something.
And Muir himself is harder to follow, from his weird haircut (I thought Jimmy Fallon was the goofiest on TV in this regard) to his sticky lips that the microphone picks up and makes disgusting.
The glory days where the news was done by thoughtful anchors and the content was rich are long gone. This is more like Muir's blog come to life.
Still, from what I've heard, it would have been good to see "ABC Evening News" during the Vietnam War and hear John Chancellor's indictment of that war. I remember when Peter Jennings showed the 25th anniversary of the modern broadcast's first airing (they reported on the trial of some Soviet Jews): John Chancellor correctly identified that the USSR was dooming itself to failure.
But no matter. Had Peter Jennings survived a few more weeks, he could have covered Hurricane Katrina. I had never known that he smoked. But a radio station noted that he reported on anti-war protests when the US invaded Iraq, so you gotta give him credit for that.
So, for all it's flaws, I recommend this news show.
Since we lost Peter Jennings ABC is not nowhere near what it was!
