“I’ve been watching the show since Charles Kuralt was the host. Then, Charles Osgood took over and I ℓσνє∂ him. He was one of the main reasons I watched. He brought so many amusing, intriguing and fascinating stories to the show. The stories from him were the kind that would take you behind the scenes of a persons’ job or hobby. Plus, he always included where the passion, to do what they did, came from. Mr. Osgood always had such a lighthearted demeanor to him. For me, I just relaxed and enjoyed the show. Also, I have to say how much I miss his piano playing and singing. Those were my favorite parts of the show.
When he left, I didn’t think I would be able to watch it anymore.
But, I’ve been trying and I really don’t like it as well as I used to.
Replacing Charles with Jane Pauley was a shocker! She brings nothing to the show. I don’t think she even likes doing the show. You can’t tell me that there wasn’t someone, within the entire CBS family, that could have filled Charles’ shoes better. The position needs someone with personality, humor and someone to breathe life back into the show. I’m not sexist but I do think a man is better for the position.
As I scroll through your list of correspondents there are some names that pop out which, in my opinion, would be much more interesting to watch. They are: David Pogue, Mo Rocca, Steve Hartman (allow him to show case his good news stories every Sunday), and Nancy Giles. All of these people have attributes that would bring the show back to the caliber it once was.
Also, I must mention that the show now focuses on more negative and political type stories. If I recall correctly, back in the Charles Osgood days, the focus was on the positive side of humans. Sometimes, I feel like I’m watching a medical show.
I like stories about humans who do captivating things, like unique ways people have adapted to living a green life or the families living completely on solar power.
In closing, the show needs a few tweaks. Don’t get me wrong, I like Jane Pauley. I just don’t think she’s the right person to host the Sunday Morning Show. She just doesn’t have the personality for it.
You need someone who can play the piano, tell a few riveting facts about something and has a lighthearted contribution to the show and who also connects with the viewers.
Thank you for your time. Have a fantastic day! \(*_*)/”
