quick takes: 7news - 11/20/2009 - 3,575 points

dan hausle/steve cooper - the missing mustache has an exclusive phone interview with the 17 year old driver of the lowell hit and run vehicle. (10 exclusive points)  while she sounds very sorry, i suspect she's not as sorry as she will be.  amazingly enough, the victim is in fair condition and is expected to make a full recovery. (35 points).  something tells me that in this case, "full recovery" means a lifetime of nagging aches and pains, an early hip replacement and unfortunately, a premature death.   well, at least she's sorry.

adam williams - i think that adam is one of those guys who is "friends" with a bunch of hot girls - but has no chance of landing any of them.  so, i guess it's smart to befriend mr. williams.

on a completely unrelated note - adam gets a whopping + 3,500 points for his delightful banter with anne allred on his giving up coffee cold turkey (down from his usual 5 cups) and the description of his headache due to the lack of caffeine.



dylan dreyer -this morning's burnt orange silk blouse is well, 2x perky.  (15 points)

anne allred - this blog loves anne allred - but she today she's dressed like kermit the frog. it ain't easy being green.  (5 points)


nicole oliverio - on the scene in duxbury where a highway line painting truck flipped over after hitting the route 3 guard rail.  disaster is averted as they manage to avoid a massive propane leak.  (+15 points)  oh, nicole - you're fantastic, but you should get some winter coat suggestions from michelle relerford.  your off-white coat looks like a pile of plowed snow mixed with with three days of salt, sand and gravel.  (-5 points)

woe is wornick

i think that in these days of increased internet bandwidth, a need to cut office space/real estate costs as well as easier remote access to work related technology systems - there is a corresponding increase in those who work from home.  i also think that the disposable income of these telecommuters is desired by many advertisers.

with an opportunity to go after this growing premium audience, it mystifies me as to why wcvb would keep susan wornick at the anchor desk.  if the midday news audience was still largely made up of the elderly and those who simply given up - i wouldn't care all that much.  however, while working from home today i tuned to wcvb for the afternoon news - saw susan wornick's face  and switched to 7 news a split second later.

what's 7 news' competition to wornick? anne allred in this nifty black number with a kinda bondage thing going on around her neck.  jesus loves you, anne allred. 

get with the program wcvb.

Oh please oh please oh please.

If the reports are true, and I pray to all Gods they are, then Kim Carrigan is out at Fox Mornings. Praise be!! If she is holding out for more money then she has a very bad agent. She should take free bagels on Fridays and parking. I can't imagine she gets invites to Gene's house for any of his summer BBQs. This town needs some new talent in the mornings. When one stations brings in a new hottie from the Florida minor leagues it forces all other stations, except Chanel 5 for some unknown reason, to step up their games. Just as long as Anne Allred is always there when I wake up.

Pleasant Surprise

Were I a betting man yesterday I would have bet on a Red Sox win, Patriots win and that Anne Allred and Dylan Dryer would have extended their vacation another day. Thats why I don't gamble. What a pleasant surprise that Team Blond was in full effect this morning. Good morning Anne. (Plus 10)
