You wanna get granular? Lee Cowan's voice is really bad and weak. The worst part of it is he constantly trails off on the last syllable of words at the end of his sentences. His vocal volume drops so low on that very last syllable I often have to rewind on the DVR to hear what he said (sometimes more than once, with closed-captioning on). He does it so often, it's maddening. And it's not my advanced age and poor hearing. Really!
David Pogue's segments are some of my favorites. Martha Teichner, Seth Doane, and Mo Rocca usually turn in good segments. They always give Steve Hartman the tear-jerker segments, and they rarely fail to produce a lump in my throat. I could do without so many celeb segments.
Agree about Koppel. Bob Costa does not look comfortable anywhere. Faith Salie is getting pretty scary-looking, which distracts from the segment. Also, she gushes too much over celebrities.
We've watched these shows off and on over the decades. It's hard for me to say if the show is worse than it used to be. It still produces lots of good stuff. Some of the best TV.
