Ok, now here's a Kristin Dodd topic.
Tonight, just like on night last month, Kristin did PME wearing a bright pink jacket and white pants but completely changed outfits for EE. Does the pink outfit not work well with HD or something?
-
IDK, but I'm glad I'm not the only one who notice an outfit change.
-
Interesting.
On a related topic, I remember Kristina Abernathy and Jennifer Lopez doing the same thing when they did two shifts. This was a while back though.
-
You can definitely see the influence Adam is starting to have on Kristin. She started the final segment of EEAD by saying "Hey, hey, hey!" I don't think she ever would've done that before.
Adam and Kristin seem to have an entirely different rapport on PME, but I think that's because PME doesn't have the :24 and :54 segments with both of them together at the desk, which is when their conversation/silliness time usually takes place.
-
I think she is great so she can do anything she wants! Even change clothes 3 times :)
-
I wonder if the OCMs leave the building for a break during the long three hour break on the weekend. I'd imagine they'd be allowed to since it's such a long wait.
-
I think that that Vivian, Nick, Betty, and Samantha can't do that because the two pairs are on every other hour like:
2- V&N
3- B&S
4- V&N
5- B&S

He's talking about the Carl/Kristina and Adam/Kristin pairings, not the weekday afternoon pairings. ;)

Kristin Dodd is an OK meterologist. Kinda like Cheryl Lemke who lacks personality and expression.
-
Yeah she's okay. And, Cheyl just needs to go home and sit down somewhere because she sounds like a programmed robot.

I disagree. Kristin has come out of her shell, so to speak, in the past..whatever. I think she's doing great, and I love watching her.
-
Yeah, she's becoming a little funnier than before. Because, I usually don't watch EE on the weekends with her and Adam. Now, they're making me want to watch it!! :yes:

Yeah, Kristin is a lot different than she was, say five years ago.
-
Oh yeah, when she was with Dave only a year ago, she would always seem to stifle his antics, but now she's come out of her shell and playing right along with and enjoying Adam's antics.
-
Wow, it's like Kristina has a read on me; she just mentioned that her and Mike were out of the building earlier when Edouard became a Tropical Storm.

I agree - Kristin in the middays for years was plain and boring. And she had really bad hair (remember that helmet she had circa 2004?).
But for whatever reason, she's having a blast working with Adam on EE, and it is one of the best partnerships on the network. Before they were paired up, I didn't think much of either of them, but they're both learning from each other.
Adam was always a little green in his presentation, but I think he's learned a lot from Kristin (whose forecasts were always good, even if the whole personality wasn't) and she's really learned to lighten up a bit and let her personality shine through. It helps, that they both genuinely seem to like working with each other.
Chemistry really effects the watchability of the Weather Channel. I may be burned at the stake for this, but there is a reason Kristina and Carl were split up on PM Edition. It was almost painful to watch towards the end. They are both rather low key, and it made for a terrible show. You'd get the quick opener, then the music would abruptly stop (what, even when controlled from the basic control room, they can't manage to fade out the music?) and you'd get Carl and Kristina welcoming you to PM Edition with expressionless faces. The day they were split up, their watchability improved 10-fold.
As for the other current "teams" I'd say that Sam & Betty are in serious danger of loosing their timeslot. They are awful. Neither of them has enough experience to put together a solid show without a veteran along side them. In addition, they have zero chemistry. Going to the HD format made it worse, because now they have to interact more often. I'd expect to see either Sharon & Rich or Adam & Kristin promoted to replace them within the next 6 months.
Rich and Sharon, are of course, awesome. Rich is better with her than he was with Jeanetta, and Sharon's better than with her previous regular partners of Mike, Warren, and Dave.
Jeff and Jen in the morning have adapted quite well to each other and put on a good show. The YWT team, is of course, great. Kelly & Bill are also great together, and its obvious why Kelly was reteamed with Bill.
Nick & Vivian haven't quite clicked yet. Nick & Kim WERE awesome... I wouldn't be surpised to see them reunited in some form (maybe as a Day Planner team if Bill goes to YWT to replace Marshall).
Paul, Alexandra and Jim are awful. The problem is Alexandra. She's unwatchable and show is a train wreck because of her. I stopped watching when they replaced Jennifer with her. There are so many better choices in the TWC stable.
And of course, there are the rarely seen but great "classic" teams:
Dave & Warren
Bill & Mark
Mark & Vivian
Dave & Eboni

Wow, Mark and Vivian haven't worked together in ages, and unfortunately Mark's reduced on-air duties means that he probably won't be working with her or any of the other folks you mentioned ever again. :(
When did Sharon work with Dave and Warren? Was that during the late 90s?

Sharon was paired with Warren for at least 6 months after they fired Rick Griffin and before they hired Mike Bettes on weekend evening edition. He was also the regular fill in for Mike for a couple of years.
Sharon worked with Dave and Warren on Evening Edition West Coast as a fill in on a pretty regular basis.
