How does anyone take Fox 2 seriously for anything?

This is why I don't watch WJBK anymore. Maybe female viewers in their 20s and 30s think this is cute. I find it juvenile.
In 40 years, channel 2 went from Chuck Gaidica to this.

Who gave this the green light?
Why would these guys ok it? This will never go away when they are searching for another gig.
This is juvenile. Whatever producer thought this would be cute ought to be shown the door immediately.
Zero class and professionalism.

I’m done with channel 2. This seals it. What a cringy moment. Why would anyone other than these two weirdos think this is good
for tv?

Yeah, we get it. We know what side of the field those two play on. No one cares.

Derek Kreepvra and Alan ShlongStreet should be ashamed.

And Amy Andrew’s face looks like something from a horror movie with all the surgeries she’s had done to it.

Gross to all the above.

Not horror, just juvenile. Stuff you’d expect to see in small markets, not a top 20 market like Detroit.

It's funny. Why not? Geez. Lighten up, Francis.

Great Stripes reference. Now I gotta rewatch that movie!

However that Fox 2 segment is still idiotic.

I recognize that those here on Buzzboard have a vested interest in what's on locally. Fox2 Mornings. The Nine.

But I wonder if the average viewer cares? How many turn on the TV and start getting ready for work. With the sound in the background, they're running around the house and not parked on the couch until they hear the weather jingle call them into the room. And as soon as they see the forecast and traffic --click--.

Same with The Nine. According to Nielsen, a lot of TV's are parked there. More than Today or Kelly & Whomever etc. But are housewives actually watching it? Or do they come in the room when the cooking segment is on? Or just watch it while folding? Etc.

I'm sure there's no way to prove it. But I'm thinking as far as people actually watching, more folks are watching Ripka and Hall than The Nine. Regardless of what the ratings say.

Think about it. None of you want to actually sit and watch it. Do you think the average viewer does. For most, Fox2 is background noise until Sheppard gets off at 2.

The nine and 2 win in the morning because it’s the only local news show of the big 3 (2,4 and 7) at those hours.
I assure you the audience is repulsed by Derek Kreepvra and Alan ShlongStreet too.

You're right. I believe it's because they're doing the weather every 10 to 15 minutes right up to one o'clock. People do have their TV on 2. But how many are sitting and watching the whole time? Or just popping in the room when they hear the weather jingle or the cooking segment jingle, etc. You get the idea. Whatever interest them.

Like I said, if there was some way to measure how many viewers are actually parked on the couch, I got a feeling 4 and 7 would win after 7am. Which is why I wonder how many viewers are repulsed (your word) by something they're not watching. Are the Weather Boy Antics something many people are even paying attention to?
