CBS News Sunday Morning with Jane Pauley

Sunday Morning has been a part of my Sunday morning routine for over 20 years. It has been the perfect relief from all the negativity and political rhetoric of the weekly news. Sadly, they have caved in to the political divisiveness that is destroying our country. I miss the heartwarming stories of artists, good-doers, and background stories of key societal figures that left me feeling hopeful. It's an epic fail that Sunday morning is now foisting their politics upon us. PLEASE STOP! ENOUGH.

We've been enjoying Sunday Morning since the late 70's. It's versatility of coverage (news, arts, commentary, humor, to mention a few) have been providing conversation to us two old time marrieds weekly.

Recently we saw a young violinist, Aaron Weinstein, perform at The Bickford in Morristown, NJ. Duly impressed with his talent, we bought one of his CD's, "Blue Too," produced by Arbors Records, Inc. (at the outrageous price of $20) and we would like to put Sunday Morning arts producers on notice to check out this talented young man.

Read the well said commentary on the back of the CD by Nat Hentoff, jazz critic.

Easter Sunday and you talked about politics STILL. Can we get back to the impressive, inspiring stories that leave you feeling good for the whole day? Possibly your life? You have the power to just do that!

Please do that!!!

I have watch CBS News Sunday Morning for many years and to me it's a diverse blend of news, features, the arts and nature. Since it's debut in 1979, two men have presided over the show in a low-key and comforting manner, Charles Kuralt and Charles Osgood. They keep the show moving and set the viewer up for the upcoming feature. There are also some moments when Osgood sings and plays the piano.

All of the elements resemble a Sunday newspaper's magazine section and offer the viewer something for everyone. There have also been commentaries from people over the years such as Jeff Greenfield, Ron Powers and Ben Stein.

One feature I enjoy is at the end of each episode when there is a nature scene. Usually running about a minute, there is no dialogue, just views of mountains, waterfalls or other outdoor scenery. It's one of the best uses of the visual aspect of TV.

Though Osgood recently tuned 80, Sunday Morning is a show that could go on for many years to come, even after he decides to retire. It's a timeless show that never gets stale and one of the few spots on network TV today that spotlights classical music since the demise of shows like Omnibus and The Bell Telephone Hour.

If you're looking for something to watch after sleeping late on a Sunday Morning, give the show a shot. from the opening trumpet theme to the closing nature scene, you will be informed and enlightened.

Used to feel this show brought new, unique things to light. Now seems to bring nostalgia, established performers and cute. And could mo Rocca be any dumber??
