It would be interesting to see the same poll with departed OCMs

I'll make a poll on that when voting ends on this poll.

I certainly agree with you on that.

Personally, I would say Stephanie Abrams if I have to choose just one.  Can’t wait till Al Roker leaves…so I can wake up with Steph. :smoke2:

Jim Cantore of course! I don't even need to explain why. :twothumbs:
- Dr. Rick Knabb - Seemed kinda stiff at first, but he really grew on me especially after Hurricane Irene, he did a fantastic job doing PBP on that hurricane.  :biggrin:
- Danielle Banks, she's always comes off as bright and cheerful. She reminds me a lot of the former chief met that was at WGCL-TV here Dagmar Midcap.  :) Also I love her Southern charm (at least I think she's Southern... :P)
Carl Parker - Hey, he's becoming our next Jim Cantore/Dr. Greg Forbes hybrid child, he's great!  :thumbsup:
Vivian Brown - "Were All Together In Weather!" Any OCM who lives by that motto is a fan favorite by me.  :D

I voted for Cantore, Forbes, Goodloe, Walker, and Knabb. Jim for obvious reasons, Forbes and Knabb just do to their expertise, and their sense of humor (Knabb dancing on a desk, anyone? :P ) I wish Goodloe was on more, and I personally enjoy watching Nick Walker on the afternoons.

And I wish we did past OCMs, but I have to say I really liked Marshall Seese. It's a shame he left TWC, but I regard him as the "TWC Morning King."

He danced on a desk? I would love to have seen that! He does have a good sense of humor, I noticed that quite a bit last hurricane season when he was on during YWT.

Well at least Marshall left on his own terms just like Sharon Resultan. I think if Marshall had of stuck around they probably would have shown him the door like they did Bill and Mark and so many others wrongfully.  :(

Me too!  I miss seeing Paul Goodloe doing the primetime slot (formerly EE).  He should definitely be on more often; is he just a freelancer now?

Carl Parker - Hey, he's becoming our next Jim Cantore/Dr. Greg Forbes hybrid child, he's great!  :thumbsup:

I couldn't agree more, Tavores!  Carl definitely seems to know what he's talking about, and I enjoy watching him.  He and Heather also make a fabulous team, IMO.

Vivian is also a good meteorologist.  I hope she makes it another 25 years at TWC! :D

If he's not, it sure seems like it as of late...
I still miss A&B having their old show, it was so unique and different from the others. It lost it's spark once the HD transition began. (sigh)  :(

Paul Goodloe sometimes does the "Social" and "Weather Headlines" during WCL. He also sometimes host WCL during the weekends and he sometimes fills in for Chris or Crystal. He is not freelancer.

Vivian Brown, Cantore, Seidel, Walker, Goodloe are my top 5
Title: Re: Best OCM Currently
Post by: toxictwister00 on July 21, 2012, 10:23:45 PM
Mine is similar to Buckeye, but I would also include Kelly Cass and Dr. Forbes onto my list. Everyone else I either can't stand anymore or never liked to begin with.

1. Jim Cantore (favorite male OCM)
2. Vivian Brown (favorite female OCM)
3. Mike Seidel
4. Kelly Cass
5. Paul Goodloe
6. Dr. Forbes
7. Nick Walker

Honorable Mentions
Todd Santos (He doesn't stumble as much as he used to so I'll cut him some slack for that and he seems a little more laid back now)
Heather Tesch
Mike Bettes
