Maybe I should describe the outfit. It looked like an oversized fake black
leather jacket. The material probably gotten from the back seat of a 75 Buick.
Cecily should take this broad aside & take her shopping somewhere nice. For
a woman, she has no fashion sense whatsoever. Clowns laugh at her.

Oh, so you know what she's like off-screen? You've met her, been around her?
Or are you just acting out?

I respectfully disagree. I think Jim Gardner is aging better than most men, and
he is always a class-act on air.

I'm considerably younger than Dave Roberts but have a crush on him regardless.

Lisa Thomas Laury is a beautiful woman, in my opinion, and is also aging
gracefully.

One of the best things Channel 6 has going for it right now is definitely
Michelle McCormack.

Jim Gardner looks about 65 when he is about 55. Dave Roberts is about 70
years old. You have a crush on a 70 year old? Lisa is doing well.
Michelle McCormack is a silly giggling girl.

That's so Philadelphia. I mean that as neither a compliment nor a criticism,
just an observation. Philadelphians -- not all of them, of course, but what
might be called deep-dish, pure-D Philadelphians -- seem to like things to
stay the way they are and seem to like staying put where they are. Very
weird, if you ask me, but then I'm from DC, where everybody's from someplace
else ... and we like it that way. Actually, Channel 6 is very Philadephia.
Tried and true, homely but comfortable like an old shoe, and seemingly happy
to be behind the times. (I mean, what's with the paste-on smiley sun-faces
on the weather map?What is this? 1975? Where's the Doppler radar and 3-D
graphics?)

If you grew up with this environment (not just Ch. 6 -- the whole area), I
guess it can be great, but to outsiders and newcomers it often feels
parochial, claustrophic and mystifying.

But then you are in luck to be able to watch another station that has all the
latest gadgets and gimmicks. A lot of Philadelphia area residents like the fact
that Channel 6 hasn't changed to keep up with the times. We believe that if it
isn't broken, why fix it. Other than one ratings period (I haven't seen the
numbers for November), Channel 6 has been number one... so why change?

Say what you want. In the last 20 years, they have only lost ONE ratings
period. Who needs fancy gadgets to report the news, weather and sports? As long
as there information is reliable, you can keep the gimmicks.

Right! And who needs newfangled gadgets in cars like air-conditioning, power
steering and CD players. After all, the car will get you where you want to
go without these "gimmicks."

I'm not arguing with your facts. I've lived here for 6 years, and Channel 6
has been at or near the top in local news that entire time, so you're
correct. I just don't understand why ... (Not that the local TV news isn't
terrible in Washington, New York and other more affluent and modern cities.
It's just that it's terrible in a more up-to-date way.)

Then again, it's kind of nostalgic for a guy in his 40's like me. Moving to
Philadelphia is like traveling back to my youth in the 1970's. :-)

Channel 6 news is a Yugo. It probably will get you where you are going
but it sure is ugly. Channel 3 news is the Yugo without the motor.
Channel 10 news is the Jaguar with a Yugo motor.

At the time of his retirement, Facenda has been last in the ratings for years.
His popularity is greatly overrated.

I don't believe that A/C and power steering are gimmicks... CD players, the
jury is still out. ;)

As for gimmicks, do I need to 'FLY' through the approaching weather pattern to
get a better understanding that a storm is coming?

Do I need to hear annoying music and spinning logos to tell me EVERY story is
important?

Do I need to have the anchor stand and sit more times than I do at mass?

Do I need the anchor to stress his stories with his hand and fist to understand
that I should take this story seriously?

Do I need to have normal stories hyped all night in 'news updates', only to
find out that the story they are referring to happened weeks ago?

Do I need to go on? :P

Sssscold, you always say that they are only news readers, so we might as well
enjoy their looks. From what I have seen of Lisa, she rarely makes mistakes
while reading the news, so not only is she good looking, but a decent reader as
well.

This is really strange: on the air she comes across as so... vanilla, and her

Do you know something about her that we don't, or have a relationship with her

You must have bad TV reception
The entire crew is the classiest and most knowledgable, educated, and attractive news "readers" in Philly. They make all the rest look like GED holders from the hoods.
On top of that, they have had the prettiest women anchors and reporters for the past thirty years and they keep coming. Duh? Eva Pilgrim.
Cecile is still HOT!!! Talk about aging well.
Monica is older, but still very attractive.
Cute as she ever was. We could all only hope we look so good as we grow older, let alone in front of a TV camera. And the guys are either young and smart and attractive or older with that distinguished look of wisdom. Don't know what you're watching.
