my editor asked me to watch more wcvb news this week in an attempt to even out our coverage a bit.
basically, it's been like watching the news at my grandmother's house. all that's missing is the plastic cover on the sofa, the smell of chicken pot pie coming from the kitchen and a flatulent irish setter at my feet. this morning i must have grabbed the clicker 2 or 3 times on impulse to see what was doin' with anne allred - only to put it back down...sadly. yes, sadly.
as for this morning's "eyeopener", well, let's just say this show is in no danger of being renamed "flyopener" any time soon...
bianca de la garza - this morning it appears that the buttons on the front of bianca's purple dress are the hardest working buttons in show business. unfortunately, the dress just doesn't work. it looks like the drapes from some medieval castle. sorry bianca. (- 15 points and a flagon of mead)
randy price - i used to like randy back in the wbz days. he was okay at 7news. but wrong way randy is just not happenin' anymore. i think wcvb needs to start fresh and find the next david wade. (-20 points)
j.c. monahan - she seems like fun and i'm pretty sure i want to grab j.c., a suitcase of bud cans, a few vodka nips and go ice fishing. this morning's banter with randy on 2009's "sexiest man alive" was wonderfully playful. that said - she looked hotter yesterday. please lose the blazer. (5 points)
cindy campbell - this smart route traffic reporter is taking the wrong route with the whole richard sharpe look. estrogen to the eyeopener, stat! (- 5 points)
kimberly brockman - she's in hollis nh with the arraignment of an alleged conspirator in the heinous home invasion and murder by machete of the mt. vernon nh woman (as well as the attack on her young daughter). there is grimly satisfying footage of autumn savoy (age 20) crying like a little bitch (25 points) as he is arraigned on charges of helping cover up the crime and providing a false alibi for 2 of the suspects. i hope that this footage gets replayed repeatedly on his cell block tv. sadly, kimberly is infected with the blandness that seems to permeate the newscenter 5 stable of reporters. (- 10 vanilla points).
