Breaking Up Kelly and Mark!

 I do not like how Live! has degraded into an Old Married Couple who's only existence is to Stay Married. I would feel from Beyond the Grave, the Late, Great Regis Philbin would barked up and down the Port for ABC Officials in not wanting another diva.

I would think this would be personal, especially when Live was having to keep its FCC License thanks to Reege and to make things worse, the Kathie Lee Mayhem tanked their Flyover Flagship KGAN Ratings and transferred them over to KCRG.

I didn't mind Live! Staying a Cedar Rapids show, but, I did mind Live! becoming a Waterloo Show where in a Market like ours, that makes a Big Difference! The continuity of Mr. and Mrs. Consuelos's Jobs where altered by "The Chew", which Mario Batali was "Chewed Out" of Employment and Society.

There'd be 10 Worse Things than Politics to bring up at the Family Table this Holiday Season, but, having WABC, the Flagship ABC Station, intervene and have circumstances too close and testy to home Split the Table.

Losing Live's Studio is Losing an Extension of My Living Room

 No matter what Name Live With Kelly and Mark has been through the decades, their Studio has always been an Extension of My Living Room. This would have been a worse hit than Live being a Cedar Rapids Territory Show (I am Still Not Over That,4 Years Later almost) and the glove doesn't seem to fit as well.

I hate to throw a Different 90's Glove, but, I'd always jump audibly at the Rank Even Now. Certain things I'd be used to no matter what, especially when Grandma and Grandpa where Daycare or Better than Daycare and you'd learn more there, like Rod Roddy's Voice on the Price is Right and Bob Barker knowing how to play the tempo, which has never ever been a Drew Carey thing.

This is not an act, but, a Real Personal Hit which Live has been taking hits and hints that they are on the Downside of their Run.

Did Live! Jump the Shark With No Cedar Rapids Affliate?

 I feel the fissures with Live run deeper than the Fab 5 as I feel it jumped the Shark with a Business Move we where Blindsided in the Middle of the Tokyo Olympics: Live Not Being a Cedar Rapids Affiliated Show.

A lot of the moves between Quincy, Gray and Allen where Forced, especially when you had Trucks (And People Moving) because they had the same markets. This could cut open a Raw Nerve because we would not have Oprah or Live, in its many iteriations, Live for the 1st Time in My Lifetime.

And, while we we are at it, Cedar Rapids was the 1st in Line Outside New York for Live! and it was a Welcome Bastion from the Infamous Trash TV and KGAN always had Live! With Regis and Kathie Lee and the Price is Right Back to Back for Years.

Making a National Story Local is Not My Bag, but, the Kelly and Ryan Years made Live worse and not better and Ryan Seacrest's James Brown Work Ethic did not make anyone feel good, for all kicks and giggles, either.
