Anyone else love this morning news show on Headline News?
I think it's the perfect news show. They just give you the main headlines, weather, sports and business news without any "talking head" opinion.
Plus, they have a great team, especially Robin and Bob Van Dillen (North Jersey boy) on weather. They laugh with each other every day and are genuinely very funny and don't take themselves too seriously. Robin is not just a pretty face - she's cool and funny, which is a very hard combination to find in newscasting.
It's great to have that in the morning - along with no "man on the street" spots, no stupid "dance", and a staff that can look into the camera and ad lib and crack each other up even if there is nothing on the teleprompter. I'm looking at you Good Day New York (ever since that bitch Applegate ran off the great Jim Ryan). Dreadful, phony and only good to see the time and weather at the bottom of the screen.
An older clip, but you can see how they get along:
