When will we finally see a new anchor pairing for PM Edition (weekdays)? Sam and Betty have no chemistry, charisma, or real in-depth meteorological analysis. I rarely watch but caught a bit of it today....the fact that they have to bring in Steph Abrams to help with the tropical update (does this happen regularly?!?) is embarrassing not to mention just extremely awkward.
Obviously TWC feels the same way as these two were benched completely during both Storm Alerts and they aren't even trusted to do the tropical update without help. Apparantly PM Edition is one of their highest rated timeslots; I really can't imagine TWC is going to keep these two together in this spot much longer. Especially when the weekend PME team easily outclasses the more visible weekday PME team.
Who'd you like to see hosting? I could see Carl Parker/Kim Perez working well. Or Adam Berg, Mike Seidel, Kristin Dodd, Dave, Kristina Abernanthy..... Hopefully we'll see a shuffle with Alexandra leaving soon for maternity leave and the new schedule...
-
The team of Carl and Kristina was always very good. :yes: They are actually reunited, but on PME Weekend. TWC should move them to PM Edition Weekdays.
And, I always thought the team of Betty Davis and Adam Berg was very good. :yes:
Somehow, I just don't think Betty and Sam like each other but that's just me. However, it seems like neither one will ever laugh at each other's jokes, etc... :(
-
You got that right
-
Sam and Betty are so bland and boring together, they need to pair them with other people that have personality and charisma or get rid of those two all together.
-
I don't think Samantha is working out at TWC, as TWC originally intended she would. Remember when she replaced Kelly on Weekend View. That tenure was not long. I don't mind Samantha at all, and I actually don't mind her on PM Edition, mainly because I'm a fan of Betty Davis.

One bug-a-boo that TWC has encountered with new hires in recent years is that just because you do a nice weather cast on the local station doesn't mean you can sustain a TWC show.
Remember when Kevin Robinson was first hired he was filling in on Evening Edition after he'd only been at TWC for about a month. Seen him there lately?
The only new hire that was ready for prime time on arrival in the last few years was Nicole Mitchell.
They hired Sam to do Weekend View - that didn't work - and she's not working out on PM Edition either. They need to toss her in a lower profile spot to develop with a long time OCM - maybe weekends with Dave Schwartz. Right now PM Edition is two rookies with no chemistry.
Who would be better on PM Edition? Carl and Kristina? Every time I watch Carl I ask myself, how does he not have a weekday slot? But I think TWC prefers to keep him as the primary fill in for PM Edition, Abrams and Bettes, and EE.
I think they should move an established team with good chemistry to that slot. Both the Rich/Sharon and Adam/Kristin have developed into outstanding pairings, with good chemistry and presentation. I've posted this before, but I wouldn't be that shocked to see either team moved to PM Edition within the next few months.
Then, move Carl/Kristina to EE Weekend, and Sam or Betty with Dave Schwartz to PME Weekend. The other one can fill in for whoever covers Alex's slot while she's on leave (I am betting on Kim Perez to Evening Edition...).

No.

My choice would be Betty with Carl and keep Sam as a fill in.
-
Sam should move to Weekend Outlook, and they should put Kim Perez and Dave Schwartz to PM Edition, and move Betty Davis to Day Planner with Kevin Robinson.
I wonder who is going to fill in for Marshall in November? :thinking:
-
The more and more I watch PM Edition, the more and more I'm beginning to notice the flatness in Samantha Mohr's voice and she makes it really obvious she's reading a teleprompter, especially tonight... All of the other OCM's put some personality into it, Samantha does not :no: It makes me want to turn the channel, but I know A&B is on in less than an hour so I'll cope...

I know, and that's why I'm not going to be watching TWC or EE at all :cry3:

The schedule is back to crazy again. The reruns of When Weather Changed History on weeknights are back at 9:00 Eastern, and A&B is back to only the 7:00 hour. I don't like this at all. If I were to watch a history show, I'd watch the channel next to TWC on my lineup, in which the channel is called History.
-
I think Kristina and Carl should be back on the weekday slot on PM Edition. I used to watch them on weekdays after school, and now I don't watch them anymore. I watch them now sometimes in some weekends. But I am glad they are back working together. They are both awesome.
-
I agree with all of you guys. Betty and Sam have like no chemistry. I really miss Alexandra and Kristina and Carl should be back on weekdays!! :clap:
-
Yeah!! Now someone agrees with me :P
-
Wow, we sure do have a lot of Bettes enthusiasts here.
