Sharon just responded to the Travel opener yet again at 11:10 CT.

*Travel opener plays*

Sharon: All right, we promised to take you traveling, so let's go do that.

So, after not being able to sleep, I decide to watch Rich and Sharon for about an Hour last night from 12-1, and I didn't catch their catch phrase once :(  I was sad..lol

Maybe I'll catch it tonight.

At 11:01 CT, Rich more like Rich Dubbya Johnson

Sharon: Now with more on the severe weather and what we can expect, here's Rich.

Rich: Yeah, let's...uh...do that.

So last night, with all the storms that passed through my area, I saw EEWC for the first time since the IStar relaunch.

Is Sharon so dippy all the time?  She acted like she was drunk at the beginning of the 11PM hour.   :blink:

And Rich pulled a "Lets do so" within the first half hour, too.

Apparently that's what EEWC does to you. See: Hillary Andrews

A few minutes ago, there was one of those strange discontinuous catchphrase uses:

Sharon: Before we can get to the weekend, we have to get through Friday first.

Rich: Yeah, let's do that.

 :huh:

Rich just made a funny. He said, "It's going to be hot Saturday in Washington D.C. with highs in the mid 90s; then again, there's always hot air in Washington *chuckle*"

Sharon: Now let's take you to one final stop where it's quite cool, and that's the West.

Rich: Yeah, let's do that.

You should give us the context of the conversation, as Steve does.  :sunglasses:

Few people know this, but Rich Johnson's success at The Weather Channel was actually the lucky result of his past failure. Prior to joining TWC, Rich actually worked as a computer programmer and wrote the short-lived WANG command-line operating system in 1982. However, his major failure from a usability standpoint came when Rich went to write the various prompts. For example, for a "Would you like to perform this action?" prompt, Rich deviated from the standard "y/n" response and instead gave the user the choices "Yeah, let's do that/No, let's not do that."

With such complicated prompts for the user to type in, the project was doomed to failure. Within months, Rich abandoned the project and was subsequently hired at TWC as a graphics technician, thus beginning his long-tenured career as a meteorologist there.

...it's a joke, obviously... :P

What an imagination you have, Steve.  At first I thought this was real, until the end of the first paragraph :P

Oooh, there was just a wideshot one as Sharon was standing at the projector wall finishing the Weekly Planner with Rich facing her while sitting at the desk.

Sharon: Now let's see what coming up with Rich.

(Rich turns away from Sharon and toward the front camera while we still see him talking from the ceiling camera.)

Rich: Ok, let's do so.

(We switch to frontal camera that Rich is facing, and Rich begins to say what's coming up.)
