Annoying Today, annoying tomorrow.

While I have never been a fan of Sam Champion, I must admit I totally agree with his recent accusation that the network morning shows have become too hysterical. It isn't recent however; it's been going on for years. When I was a youth a small coterie of fans would stand outside the Today Show window and respectfully watch the program. Now there are huge crowds of noisy, hyped-up, attention-starved tourists at every morning show displaying about as much restraint as the audience at The Price is Right. Because of these obnoxious audiences, the insipid "news" subjects, the pseudo celebrities, and the endless commercial plugs, the morning shows are no longer watchable and are all mere copies of each other, right down to the sickeningly sweet love each of them swears to feel for their fellow hosts.
