Dateline

I used to love this show. But the old style of presenting with the weird exaggerated inflections of voice is just too much anymore. The worst offenders are Andrea Canning and Keith Morrison. The rest of the cast is fine, but I can't listen to the unnatural voice cadence of either Andrea or Keith anymore. It almost sounds like a parody. I just started watching The Ultimate Betrayal episode on Peacock and couldn't last five minutes listening to Andrea Canning. Perhaps I'm in the minority, but there are so many other shows available that are just as interesting, but have cast members that speak like normal people.

I watch each and every episode of "Dateline NBC". I love all reporters and news people who talk and tell the stories. Of course the best is Mr. Morrison but the rest of them are all good and they really work hard. ONLY i have one thing to say. That lady Andrea, she needs to learn to correct the tone of her voice. A reporter is supposed to talk the way to attract people's interest. This lady has an annoying tone. Her voice goes up and down with no reason. You raise your voice when the story is in such mood. You dont talk the same tone all the time no matter what subject matter is your subject. Please change it. I like you and this feedback is just to help you being more successful.

I love a great podcast and Dateline is a great one! I don't have the time to sit and watch the broadcast but I'll listen to the podcast all day. Andrea Canning's singsong voice and absolutely stupid interview questions makes my ears bleed, though. How she's still interviewing people is beyond me. I skip all of the Andrea Canning episodes. But I love Keith Morrison and Josh Mankiewicz. They are great narrators and interviewers.

I understand the frustration with the subscription cost and I'll probably get rid of it, especially since the other podcasts I was promised are only a few episodes long.

I used to love this show. I felt it was grade A crime reporting. The two hour shows are ludicrous. God help you of you do a shot every time they say, "coming up ..." You would end up passed out on the floor.

If this show is going to survive they better go back to a concise on hour format. The two hour shows are frustrating and end up boring. The episodes ate so padded and dragged out!

There are some pretty decent crime videos on YouTube that are about 20 minutes! They may not be as reliable, professional or polished as Datel8ne but they are the new competition. Get with it NBC. You are losing viewers.

There is no reason each of these cases requires a 2 hour show. Two hours for a special? Sure. Is every episode a special? Hell no. The same cases are thoroughly covered in other series/TV shows in 1 hour or less. Cut out the BS interviews with friends and relatives answering low-brow questions like, "Were you sad when you found out they were dead?", or, "Did you feel relieved when the perpetrator was caught?" These are duhhh questions and answers that offer no added perspective to the story, only a drawn out episode with fading attention from the viewer. I would rather watch the same crime case on another program and get the same information without my back hurting from sitting so long.
