Dateline: Secrets Uncovered

The episodes are way too long and everything is so dragged out and they keep repeating the same things over and over and over again. The presenters are almost all old. I do like Keith but he's a fossil. Andrea Canning has an irritant voice. She should retire and focus on her 234 children.

Also for some reason the video quality is inferior. It looks like something from the eighties. It's also too lengthy, digging up pasts of people, telling boring storylines. Everything could be told or shown in half the time. And what secrets are uncovered?

So I think it's time for an overhaul. New, younger and fresher presenters and more concise story telling.

There is WAY more heresay, jumping to conclusions and too much circular reasoning for me. In one episode the man was found innocent. And evidence showed why. He was even in the show. However they made it out through the whole episode that basically he got off and had committed it. Terrible to do to someone. Today people go with their heart and their emotions than evidence.

I have watched this show and EVERY TIME I kept waiting on "the secret". Never happened. NOTHING uncovered. Pick a new name. Be original. If not, completely DONE. I wont be watching for awhile, so hope you get it together.

I am a fan of True Crime. Dateline does a good job of taking a humanistic approach to interviewing while laying out the linear (usually) narrative of the crime, investigation, and "justice" given.

They have the best journalists of any true crime series at the moment and have for a while. Andrea Canning, Keith Morrison, Josh Mankiewicz, and the few times I saw Craig Melvin cover a story make up my 4 favorites. Dennis Murphy has a long history with Dateline, but I would like to see Craig Melvin take his place.

I dropped a point off due to sensationalized presentation of crimes. That being said, I think it's impossible to have any show like this without a little sensationalism. And with that being said, Dateline never seems to lose sight of the fact that they're covering tragedies. I have seen a lot worse in the many True Crime series I have seen.

I have watched all of the Dateline series for many years. I completely enjoy Kate Snow, Josh M, Keith Morrison, Craig Melvin. I cannot stand to watch Andrea Canning, and I immediately change the channel if she is the commentator on the show. Several of my friends feel the same way as she comes across as being insincere, fake, plus she has a weird speech pattern that is more than annoying. When I see that Dateline is on the television schedule, I look forward to watching it but am disappointed when I see Andrea Canning will be the presenter. There are many commentators for this show and I'm sure there are many new applicants that would love to have the job. Please take this request into consideration and thank you for your time.
