I'm an NBC kinda gal. As long as I can remember I've been an NBC kinda gal. Not necessarily NBC shows but NBC news and news related shows. I never gave my NBC loyalty much thought, it was always just THERE, a family tradition as far as I can remember…we were an NBC family. The Today Show has long been the cornerstone of my NBC watching. I lived through the heartbreak of Katie breaking up with us and warmed up to Meredith after an appropriate period of mourning the loss of Katie. I cheered when Ann finally took her rightful place next to Matt and cursed them all when she was rudely dumped.
Now of course the rumors are flying that Matt will be shown the highway (though I'm not believing that one).
The bigger question though is why NBC? Why the Today Show? As their ratings continue to tank and people seem to be migrating over to GMA (I don't even know what network that's on) I had to ask myself what is it about NBC that holds my heart.
So here it is, best I can tell the NBC shows based in NYC come from Rockefeller Center and growing up in the general area as I did…Rock Center is THE CENTER OF NYC. When NBC lights a C'mas tree…they light THE CHRISTMAS TREE, sure there's some tree lighting up at Lincoln Center, but let's face it, that's like the understudy of trees.
When people gather outside of The Today Show they're gathering at Rockefeller Center not wherever those other shows broadcast from.
So maybe it's snobby of me but that's it, my comfort zone is right there where the Rockettes high kick and where the living nativity gets walked around the neighborhood each morning during the holiday season.
Oh yeah, and Brian Williams is a member of my triumvirate of awesome guys on TV (Jon Stewart and Jimmy Fallon round that out).
