// Amy’s Musings » Bye Bye Katie…

I really am bummed that Katie is leaving the Today show. From the different comments I’ve read around the blogosphere it doesn’t seem like there is much middle ground, people either loved her or couldn’t stand her. I’m a member of the former group.

For as long as I can remember I’ve turned on the Today show and watched as I helped the kids get ready for school or had coffee with my husband. I loved the banter between Katie and Matt.

Most mornings I had to switch the channel at 9 so that a certain toddler could watch “Dora the Explorer” but not this morning. I stayed tuned in the entire three hours. I’m really going to miss the Halloween specials and the Christmas celebrations which were very much a part of my holiday routine.

On another note, I’m completely irritated at their choice of replacement for Katie. Meredith Vieira?!?!?!? Come on! I cannot stand that woman. She comes off like a bitter, hardass. Who wants to wake up to that?

Not me. Which is why when she comes on board in September… I won’t be watching the Today show anymore.

Anyway, that’s just my opinion…

I agree with you… on all accounts…

Mark me down in the “loved her” column. And also the “crushing on her” column, if you have one.

Crazy Lady says:

Not a big Meridith fan. Since I never have time to watch morning TV, I don’t watch Katie either, but I still like her!

Not a fan of either of them. I think they both may just putter along for a while and fade out. Too bad ’cause she had such a great career.

I just found your blog. Boy, I couldn’t agree more. I love Katie and always knew what earrings were in style by what she was wearing. Hoops? Oh boy! Hoops are back! Hanging? Gotta get some! I will watch Katie on CBS and check out Meredith because I still like the Today Show format and the rest of the team. JMHO
