I first begun to watch The Weather Channel by 2000, the time when the XL still had its version one design and when "Local on The 8s" was still called "Local Forecast".

I'm new here...though some may recognize me from TWC Classics.

The period from '98 to '03 strikes me as well-organized. Meaning, it seems like programming fit right in, and the program openers all matched. In my mind, you can't beat the '98-'01 openers. (Love the AM, Day, and PM backgrounds)

To add on: There wasn't any of this "Global Warming, Oh my!" business occurring, or at least nowhere near as much as today. TWC actually showed weather...not Storm Stories or other shows.

the late 90's-2003 were the best. I always had a thing for those 98-01 graphics and the 01-03 graphics were pretty good themselves. Once SS debuted, it's been downhill.

I also like the 98-01 graphics as my favorite. They looked good with the 4000 and XL v1

I was an avid viewer from late 92 until 98. My interest dropped rather quickly after that. From 2000 on my interest mainly consisted of watching an occasional forecast. These days I don't watch it all. I think the last time I watched was last year. :o

The IntellISTAR just doesn't have the "classic" feel to it. Even the WeatherSTAR XL V3 retains a bit of the classic feeling, considering its kiln to the XL V1.

The voice-over itself is not so bad. I enjoyed the voice-over during its early days, when "your" was used instead of "our," and the forecast was not read.

Wait. Was is 1999 or 2000 when I begun to watch TWC? :-\ It was somewhere around that timeframe. Sorry, I can't seem to remember when I first began to watch The Weather Channel. :rolleyes:

My favorite era of the Weather Channel is 1991 to 1995, coinciding with the "Weather You Can Always Turn To" theme.  The fonts, graphics, and theme music of the early '90s were always my favorite, and the channel itself was as direct and unpretentious then as it ever was.

Nostalgia plays a part, too:  This essentially represents what the Weather Channel was like when I started watching it, and quite a few meteorological events that I remember (Hurricane Andrew, the Blizzard of '93) fell into this era as well.
