Monday

According to a couple of the women in my life, it's nowhere near as good as once was (they watch it every week).

Their thoughts:

-They're okay with Jane, but they wish Lee Cowan was the host of the show. They love when he fills in for Jane. I've heard, "He's got 'Sunday Morning voice' " more than once.

-The correspondents they like most (in no particular order) are: Lee Cowan, Nancy Giles, Faith Salie, David Pogue, Martha Teichner, & Conor Knighton

-They don't like Ted Koppel. They feel like he's had his time. Let somebody else have the job.

-There's way too much of you-know-who. They fast forward/skip any sight or sound of that jackass.

-They love the Moment Of Nature when it's good. Whomever decides what to shoot (producer?) is fixated on water though. Almost every Sunday the show ends with some body of water. They prefer trees, wildlife, & snow. The one about the guy who lives in snowy Yellowstone with his cats and "comes down from the mountain" a few times a year was an all-time favorite.
