It's Official: Meredith Vieira Did Not Break the Today Show

As of last week, NBC's Today scored its 655th consecutive week winning the ratings game, putting it in the top spot for 12 straight years and counting. "Since the start of the year Today is up about 3 percent, leading Good Morning America, which is down 6 percent, by about 1.2 million viewers a week." And in case you weren't wondering: "The Early Show on CBS trails far behind the other two programs." [NYT]

I don't like Meredith on Today, she always looks uptight and uncomfortable, she used to be great on the View and for all the times they touted her as a "journalist", it's obvious she isnt ready for a serious spot, she is too silly all the time, once in a while is expected, but her double entendres are stupid and she even seems embarrassed by them because nobody ever laughs at her, especially Matt. Her appearance is all off kilter, the clothes are horrible, they dont fit, her makeup isn't done well, she needs to look better because Matt is hot and Ann looks great. They should have poached Diane Sawyer for Today because saddling Diane with Cuomo is an insult, he is such a crappy reporter, boring, monotone, as a matter of fact that whole GMA team is lame.

I think Meredith is a great addition to the Today show. I had doubts at first, but she seems to fit right in and with the rest of the cast. She looks great and I like her much better than on the View. I liked Katie, but really haven't missed her. Guess we all have our own opinion.

I LOVED Meredith's interview of John McCain today. She was articulate and gracious while expecting him to be honest and forthcoming. She really did an outstanding interview. I am a parent and teacher (and voter) and her pursuit of practical answers was masterfully done! I was amazed that his responses were vague and off-point. He seemed astonished at some of her questions. So, he made a fool of himself.

I agree with Hillary, and so do most of my friends! I had enjoyed Meredith on the View but she does not fit in on the Today Show. She usually seams nervous and out of her element. Watching her can be uncomfortable, awkward and embarrasing, it's like a train wreck…but I watch because I love the show, and can focus on the things I like. Why didn't they just move Ann into Katies old spot? and I love Natalie Morales! Watching Meredith I wonder when the producers are going to wise up and find someone with better chemistry.
