My License to Drive (1988) DVD, because my cable box to my TV has decided to go on the fritz and they cannot repair it until Monday evening.   

I like the movie though... the car in the show was like my first car.

Yeah they put him in a stupid timeslot in my opinion. 

I agree, because I always enjoyed his broadcasts.  He has a good sense of humor as well.  Four hours per week is not alot of work... I wonder if he does something else at TWC at other times, or works elsewhere?

Thanks for that info!  No wonder I have not seen him... I am still normally sawing logs at those hours.

Alot of people on the old forums made fun of her, like the way she bobbled her head, etc, but I always liked her style.  She kept me watching the show!  I thought her and Dave Schwartz were a hoot when they were on together!  It was so funny!  I liked Lisa Moser and Dave as well too on together.

I know this thread is "dead", but rather than starting a new thread, can anyone tell me if Mark is still around now?  I have not seen him on at all these days and I watch it at various times.  Has he flown out ?

OCMs & Personalities / Re: Who's the hottest OCM?

« on: March 16, 2008, 09:53:27 PM »

Cheryl Lemke?????

She's hot if you just came off of the UFO from Mars or something....

Cheryl has inner beauty.  I think she is one of the most pleasant ones on there and I think she looks pleasant. 

I was going to mention Heather Tesch as well to be on the list, but I understand that when you are posting a poll, its hard to remember everyone/everything.

I like the older music, like from the late 80s-early 90s.  They have recently played some of these tunes lately, but only for a very short while, then its onto something else.

I have grown to like Rich, but I remember years ago and now to an extent, he seemed to sometimes "downplay" bad weather... (making it sound less extreme as it really is).  Am I making sense?  Especially hurricane season... a cat. 5 could be spinning and he would make it sound like it was going to weaken and/or miss the mainlands.  Or I remember once a severe storm was headed our way, with warnings and he said, "you may see some lightning with this storm, but nothing too bad"- which it was bad!  Maybe I was misreading him though.  He has seemed to have mellowed out now some with his personality during the evenings with Sharon.  Before he seemed to lack sense of humor, but now he seems to chuckle occasionally- which is good.  I like a little sense of humor now and then, when the time is right. 

I always thought Rich Johnson lacked expresson

I think its sad, because I really liked Jeanetta.  She was always one of my favorites.  Back around 1992, I wrote her a letter (as well as some other TWC OCM's) and she had the nicest reply with an autographed photo.  I think Vivian Brown was another that replied to me as well as Janine D'Adamo (spelling?).  Another one of my favorites now gone was Melissa Barrington. 

Jeanetta's fate may be due to a different reason. Leading up to 2007, every OCM without the title "meteorologist" had been getting a degree or at least a certification to be considered a meteorologist. In fall 2006, Jeanetta and Kristin Dodd were the only two to not have the "meteorologist" title, but Kristin Dodd earned a certification by the end of the year, giving her the "meteorologist" title. I'm wondering if TWC forced all OCMs to earn a degree or certification by January 1, 2007 or lose their jobs.

Thanks for that info!  That is why I was confused because one night I noticed it seemed to be a re-run at 2am (Eastern time), then one time it seemed like it was a re-run at the 1am hour.  I never noticed that it was different times occuring on weekends vs. weekdays.  Thanks for that info!  

Yes, that's how it works on weekdays. On weekends, the Midnight-1AM ET hour is live, which repeats one hour later. They're back live with Weekend Outlook at 4:30 AM ET, and the 1 AM and 3 AM hours are long form, just like the 4:00-4:30 AM block.
