Today

Someone suggested the show go to a 1 hour format, because that would be plenty of time to get what they wanted in. Well, how about going to a 15 minute format. That's about how much substance there is on any given show.

Even the weather primarily consists of Al Roker joking around on the plaza. I actually like him, but they should stop the charade that he's giving a forecast and just say "Here's Al Roker, who is going to schmooze a bit on the plaza and then unhelpfully gesture toward a map the United States and mention that in some part of the country it will rain. Or not rain."

Just watch this show. They show very little news but jump into "feel good" stories after the first 20 minutes. Fake smiles, fake agendas etc... No more Afghanistan stories, Southern border stories etc... They show only what they want. The little boy who has a lemonade stand to make money for firefighters gets 4 full minutes, but human trafficking gets nothing. An old celebrity dies and they get 10 seconds of airtime, a Kardashian comes up with a new line of clothing...5 minutes of airtime. You are watching 4 hours with 95 minutes of commercials. Just time it. The cast are making 10's of millions of dollars per year, off of commercials while you blindly watch.

Once the Today Show had merit with the likes of Ann Curry but it's become a hollow program more concerned about lame entertainment than meaningful news. I stopped watching. And once, Hoda Kotb was a valuable journalist fell into the trap of entertainment over news and subsequently left Today to devote her time to Hoda and Jenna another lame show that doesn't, however, claim to be anything else. I'm not even sure why I gave it 3 Stars. Maybe it was locality to what it once was.

This show is ridiculous. Hoda is overly animated with her mouth always wide open with a maniacal smile. She over does it. It's so affected and fake. Also the way they gush over each other is nauseating. They come across as very cliqueish. Their coverage of the Olympics was terrible. All they focused on was Simone Biles. It was so sycophantic. Barely to no coverage of gold medal winners such as the woman who won gold in wrestling. They didn't mention her at all.

I like some of the recipes on the cooking segment, but they rush through this part. They need to designate more time for the cooking segment.

I have watched today religiously for so long. I can't do it anymore and I probably know 40 ppl who feel the same, but have smartly already stopped watching. I have never seen a more opinionated , rude, selfish, overbearing "host" ever. She doesn't even let guests speak if she disagrees with them. Im so surprised Today hasn't fixed this by now. She cuts guests off, goes on and on on her opinionated rants and is just rude in general. I love everyone else on this show, they are amazing. Maybe I'll just start tuning in at 10AM, but if baffles me that the Today show doesn't see this, so many similar reviews online.
