The Weather ChannelRemember when the Weather Channel {TWC} had weather and MTV had music? OK so it is not that bad yet… but the end is near. Soon there will be a WH1 {Weather Hits 1} that will purport to have weather but will just end up broadcasting shows like For the Love of Bieber and Storm Stories: Mars. Enough of the inscrutable cable network references, sorry.
Do I really need to watch the hosts vote on which town had the worst weather that day? If my community had just been ripped apart by a tornado, I do not think I would revel in being chosen. What else does no one want to see? The witless, witty banter between the meteorologists. “I am from Florida, anything below 70 degrees is cold to me.” Oh shut up. I am watching to find out how cold it will get in my area and if I need to bring the animals in for the night, not to find out which forecaster puts on a parka at 70 degrees. At least Dave Schwartz kept it to a minimum. The worst thing he ever did was say Hi to his mom and remind viewers to buy lottery tickets when the PowerBall jackpots got really high. Do know worry my friend, if I win, your check will be in the mail. The last I heard of meteorologist Schwartz was that he was working at the CBS affiliate station in Atlanta, GA. And poor Mike Seidel. Please no more stupid jokes about how cold it is or how deep the snow is. He is the one standing in it, I think he knows. Storm Stories, When Weather Changed History, It Could Happen Tomorrow, Cantore’s Stories, Full Force Nature and the other shows now airing are all in the way of the one thing people want to see, weather. How many more episodes can you write about people who didn’t evacuate when they were told to and barely survived? These people need to be presented with a bill from the fire and rescue departments that risked members’ lives to save them from their own idiocy. What kind of moron stays in a beach front home when you are ordered to evacuate because a cat 5 hurricane is coming? It turns out that Forecast Earth, the only show that was about real science concerning climate and weather has been cancelled. What?!? What goes through the mind of a corporate big wig? Let’s see, years of misinformation and neglecting the facts have contributed to man’s destruction of the ozone layer. I know, we will cancel the only legitimate, science-based program we have regarding climate change. We would not want our viewers to feel guilty about the size of their carbon footprint. Enter sand. Insert head. This was not even the worst of it. Now they have Flick and a Forecast on every Friday night. Where do they find these imbecilic hosts? Why would I want to watch Moonstruck, Ground Hog Day or The Avengers on the Weather Channel? Oh yeah, when the skies darken and it begins to hail, I immediately switch on TWC in hopes of catching Moonstruck. Duh! Completely useless. The Weather Channel needs to either create a spin-off channel to air its human drama shows or to rework them to continue to present the Local on the 8s during the broadcast. Please NBC come to your senses! And someone get Ms. Steele a cookie before she passes out. Would you like to Comment on this Topic?Do you have a great story or comment about this topic? Share it!
