The WUWA Poll
« on: July 24, 2009, 03:13:37 PM »
It's now been a week since "Wake Up with Al" (WUWA) debuted, so I've created this poll for you to vote on how you feel about it thus far.  To keep this thread from duplicating the other ongoing WUWA thread, I'd like everyone to answer this question when posting here:  What should TWC and NBC do to improve this show so that you would vote it a higher impression in my poll?  Please use constructive criticism here.

I will not vote until I see a 6AM airing, but I will say this:  the 10AM re-air is so horribly disjointed and kludged together it's not funny.

+1 for mentioning the LF song...now do it for all songs.

The live broadcast is pretty decent, IMO. It's different, and upbeat. And I like that. However, the rebroadcast is just stupid.

I voted that it is poorly put together.  The show does not flow at all.  It is just awkward having a show with 2 hosts in 2 different studios.  When they are showing Al doing the maps, the camera is always at an odd angle and not steady..at all.  Whenever Steph and Al are saying a segment together, they are not in sync with eachother, and Stephanie does not seem as excited as Al.

TWC and NBC should take out the news updates in the show to make it better.  I am sorry, but if I wanted to get news weather and entertainment all in one, and see Al Roker at the same time, I'd watch the TODAY show.  ;) (actually..GMA..but you get my point :P )

The show was terrible. The reason why is bad because of CNBC reports and non-weather related. Worst show ever.:thumbdown: Who agrees with me?

I watched the first episode on Youtube, and it was horrible. Where's the weather in this show? I didn't like how Al used the so-called "touch-screen" map. Very poorly used. I'm not really sure how Al and Steph can do the show when Al is in NY and Steph is in Atlanta. I havent seen the reprise yet, nor plan to do so. And the whole news thing, and the celebrities, hmmm sounds like the Late Show to me.

I thinks there should be a Devastating option, but i think twc is on the verge of what is called "Chapter 11" if they continue this travesty of programming.

TWC won't be filing. It's not their responsibility. NBC runs the network. NBC owns it.

I so feel the same way. It does not sound like the weather channel and nor does it show enough weather. All these celebs and having Al up there is just ridiculous and I don't like it at all.
