Just a Few Words

I am reeling – absolutely reeling - from way too many changes on the good ole’ tee-vee this year. Good grief! First it was Keith Olbermann slamming the door at MSNBC. Sutures were provided with a minor shift in programming that has yet to do more than scare the sheet out of anyone over at NBC/Comcast as CNN has picked-up in the ratings-game where Keith left off -- leaving Rachel Maddow’s intelligent program to carry the weight (although ever since the day Keith jumped ship I’ve noticed Rachel’s voice has escalated into a higher pitch).

Now it is – gasp – MATT LAUER of The Today Show fluttering what’s left of his hair into NBC’s increasingly thinning glare. And his co-host, Meredith Vieira, is tired of being tired from the grueling early morning schedule required of The Today Show’s hours, and wants to get the heck out of that rocky Center at the epi-centre of some people’s alternate morning Universe.

Then there is Glenn Beck, of all of the peckers, who will gently “transition” away from Fox Eeeews in the near future – despite high ratings ala Olbermann’s legacy at NBC. Oh, were it to be more than Glenn to do the Fox-Trot!

It’s not that I’m rigid and dislike change. Let’s be honest, this entire blog is nothing BUT change. One day it’s politics and perfectly researched points. The next day I’m falling asleep while writing and sounding like a crazed and dazed igniter of nothing more than ramblings galore.

But when it becomes a change in daily routines of featured players on the TV screen, I’m thrown as if in a bucking Bronco rodeo scene.

Oh well. One change I believe is overdue is when Katie Couric slips off the anchor chair at CBS and gets back to that perky little devil we once loved in the early hours of the mornin’.

The way doors are slamming all over the land I wonder who will be next to be kicked or ripped from the headlines again?
