What has he done well that you know of? I don't know anything about him. :hmm:
He co-created the game show Double Dare in the mid-80s.

You really think so? It seems like three hours of fluff to me, just like the original Abrams & Bettes in 2006.

The Paul and Alexandra version is ok, though.

It's funny you say that. The original A&B always seemed rather fluffy to me.  :yes:

I think we all can agree though that the absence of long form is certainly a stroke of genius.  :biggrin:

I happen to like the new Weather Center. Its very reminiscent of what WC used to be, which is a-ok with me.  :thumbsup:
I agree. It's great that they've extended it (instead of leaving it one hour at 4 PM ET, which never made sense) and added more features to the program, making it a more unique program. :biggrin:

Meh, I still think the content leaves much to be desired. It's basically 2006 A&B all over again.

It's more interactive with viewers, and I like that.  That is what a local station here is trying to do at 6:30, make it a little more interactive (with Twitter as well).  I like the new Abrams and Bettes WC.  I like the whole new weather center

That's why I prefer the November-February run of A&B/A&B EE the most. There was more weather content, and there was interactivity. :yes:
