TV Chat: Who would you boot off TV?
We asked. You answered. And the Daily News' Ellen Gray and the Inquirer's Jonathan Storm discussed.
Ellen: You didn't think it made working in law enforcement look even more dangerous than it is?
bklyntransplant: [As Jonathan raises the stakes from perky to hot]
Ellen: Plus, Dick Wolf used to kill characters because actors wanted raises, not because it worked dramatically.
Jonathan: Yeah, the heck with perky. Dump Kelly Ripa while you're at it.
bklyntransplant: Regis -- I thought he was an animatron now
Ellen: Is Jon perky or hot? Is that what you're asking? Because I need some other options.
janet: Dawn Stenslend, Dave Roberts... I miss Jimbo. Get rid of all the news people except Beasley, Ukie, and Kathy Orr.
Alicia Lane: At first she came across as this sweet young victim of divorce. Now she just seems full of herself.
Jonathan: Kathy Orr is *way* too perky.
Jonathan: And, Alycia can't even spell her own name.
Ellen: Let's make it clear, first, that Alycia did not nominate herself (at least I don't think so). Personally, I hate it that we even know about her divorce, but I can't blame Dan Gross and Mike Klein for this one, since her crying on Dr. Phil's shoulder was a sweeps stunt, injecting an anchor's personal life into the newscast. Bad karma that.
Jonathan: I think they should clone Larry Mendte's hair. Whoever knew he was related to Strom Thurmond?
Ellen: Still, as long as she can read the TelePromTer as well as anyone else in town, I don't see a problem.
Jonathan: Because of his hair....
Ellen: Lots of people seem to be related to Strom. Though I'm not sure I'd brag about it if I were.
Jonathan: It's a joke, see. Larry and Strom both use Tang to color their hair.
Ellen: Barack Obama's apparently getting some mileage out of being Dick Cheney's cousin, I understand. Calling him the black sheep of the family.
Jonathan: Yeah. Sadly, we're all in this together.
Ellen: BTW, Janet -- by Jimbo, do you mean Jim O'Brien? I think lots of people miss him. And if he'd lived, I'm sure he'd still be at Channel 6, which doesn't seem to mind keeping the faces familliar.
Jonathan: Those guys are old, aren't they?
