I hate to see Dagmar go. She knows as much as Glenn Burns does. They are all just guessing half of the time. Only God knows what is going to happen. I hate it when WSB spends 45 minutes talking about a tornado warning in sharpsburg Ga and just keeps repeating and repeating the same thing. Monica is the one that need to leave. She needs to retire SOON……

YES!!! I agree that Joanne Feldmann is a dead ringer for Agent 99 from the old Get Smart series!!! That’s funny, I thought I was the only one noticing that too.

But Agent 99 was played by Barbara Feldon, not Feldmann. (It’s okay, I swore it was Feldmann too until I looked it up.)

LOL. Everytime I watch the weather on Fox 6:00 PM I keep waiting for Ken Cook to answer the phone in his shoe now.

WGCL has helpfully put Midcap’s motorcycle review online. If this aired during a news segment (as opposed to “Better Mornings”), well…

Did anybody else see Dagmar’s motorcycle review? It aired at 4:20 in the first or second week of June – I forget the exact day. Dressed in an expensive leather racing suit & helmet, she rode and commented on a racey Triumph 675. Gushing that it was smooth, beautiful and powerful, she proved that she’s a competent sportbike rider, no mean feat, but how is any motorcycle review news? Just like a train wreck, I could not peel my eyes away.

About 20 years ago, for the first time in Hawaii television history, a channel added a full-time “weather person”. He was hired off his long-time gig as a funny Top 40 radio DJ, and came to his new position, bringing his sense of humor & jokes with him.

Well, he was fun, light-hearted, and to be honest, despite absolutely zero training in meteorology, he was FAR MORE ACCURATE than any of Atlanta’s highly touted “experts”!

Of course, living in Hawaii, it’s pretty hard to say “Sunny & nice” and ever be wrong……..

I finally caught a Dagmar weather report on tv the other night…

I’m sure she’s a very sweet young lady, but I get the impression that she will appeal to the less cerebral of viewers….

maybe she’s just trying to make the best of a bum assignment…..

I’ve worked with Dagmar and she’s nice. Very chatty and passionate about lots of things, but not weather. She does seem to be impatient and rude to those “below the line.” She signed on to do Better Mornings and loved her Critter Corner and although she hasn’t said as much, I’m sure she’s not happy with the current situation. I don’t expect her to be around long. I think she’ll move on- go back to Canada or host some non-news show or something. I give her 6 months.
