Same here..But I can't stand Kim..I'd prefer anyone but her...I'd actually like to see Heather Tesch as her replacement..

Really? I like her! How about Samantha Mohr

No thank you. Sam hasn't improved yet. I still hate her. Thank god Todd Santos is filling for her.

I see they didn't do the Weekly Planner for the final two hours of Weekend View today, instead opting for live reports. Is NBC starting to drop the Weekly Planner from all shows or something? If so, they might as well just stop operating under the farce of a weather network and start calling themselves a weather news network or something since they're rapidly evolving into a news network and moving away from actual weather. Now they're even starting to report on stuff that doesn't even involve weather at all. Just merge the damn network with MSNBC and get it over with.

I like Weekly Planner better than annoying live reports.

Just a quick poll: What version of what browser do you use? I thought this would be interesting to know.

Right now I'm on Safari 4 on Windows, but my default browser is Firefox 3.6 a1pre.

What do you use?

Internet Explorer

if they keep shifting everyone around, ratings are going to plummet until viewers understand the new schedules...NBC is retarded.

For me, TWC went downhill when they started layout OCM's, shows those annoying Thanksgiving/Holiday Bar, and when they disconuited the old Weather Center (best WC verison ever IMO).

I hate to be rude, but IMO there's too much "junk" on the screen while watching live TWC now. I didn't realize the blue bar at the bottom that shows conditions for certain places or explains stuff was always going to be present. In addition, if you watch TWC in HD, there's that darn LDA on the side too. I guess it may be helpful to some people, but the blue bar and LDA are very distracting.

*Felix agreed with Andy* I don't watch live TWC anymore unless of that BBOD goes away. I never like it. 30 seconds is enough, but more than a minutes of showing it is too much. What a stupid idea to add those pieces of crap.

I would say 2000-2003 then 2005-Sept 2008. Then things went down the toilet.

I agreed, but it's went downhill when NBCU brought it last November.

El Centro was nice yesterday...it was in the 80's with breezy conditions. Ideal for Anistorm! 
but and yet...its gonna go up pretty soon...temps in the 100s plus...

I hate 100+ degree temps...they bother me.

Me neither. I always get 100 degrees in my area. I hate my area's weather escipally last June's (all days were above 99F degrees during that month and only 16 inches of rain).
