GMA on Halloween

colliegirls — Fri, 31 Oct 2014 13:59:36 GMT

I could only watch for a few minutes but the show seemed so awkward with all the "trying to be scary" today. GMA used to be my favorite but now it is so forced and hokey. Where is the news????

I don't think GMA is supposed to be just news. It is headlines, public interest stories and entertainment.

And most of the Halloween was hokey, but I have to say that Lara Spencer as baby Prince George in the carriage was funny, lol.

These photos show both GMA & TODAY - both very well done!

It seems like ever since LaraS arrived at GMA, it's been mostly fl*ff and very little substance. Such a shame. Not sure why GeorgeS chooses to stay with such drivel.

Kelly and Michael doing orange is the new black. He is perfect that character is so crazy.

I liked the Downton Abbey spoof.

On TODAY Willie Geist was a great cheerleader. Matt L and Julia S did well with their mirror routine.

The GMA costumes were only so-so.

i didn't get that impression at all. if anything it was trying to be funny - and it was to me! i loved the show. would have never guessed that was Nelly as the devil. and laura in that baby carriage ""kicking"" was cute!

I moved to CBS morning show for news after GMA got silly.

To each their own, sometimes I like "silly".

I like the personalities on GMA.

If I want serious news first thing in the morning, I change the channel.

I can't do serious 24/7.

I was fooled at first with Hoda and Kathie Lee as Wayne and Garth. They were excellent. And, of course, loved the MOM jeans commercial spoof.

I flipped over to GMA for the last few minutes and thought Lara's baby in the carriage costume was surreal.

I also watched LIVE with Kelly and Michael. I thought it was a good show, but last year was better. I love Art Moore dressed as a woman -- he looks good in the eyeshadow, etc...

I have GMA on as I'm getting ready for work. It's hard to break a 25+ year habit!

However, I like the show less and less these days. It's too celebrity-driven and some of the segments are downright stupid. Example: Earlier this week did anyone see Becky Worley's tips for cutting a few minutes off your beauty routine? Dumb! Total waste of airtime.

The Halloween show this morning was just ridiculous.

They always have great costumes.

Today did a good job too.

I watch GMA the first 15 minutes when all the late breaking news is reported. After that, I switch to HLN.

Too many hosts (egos) on the set. I don't know how George stands it. And I think he looks uncomfortable. They must pay him well to do all that--then Sunday serious stuff.

I feel the same way.

Every Halloween I try to tune into the Today Show to see what everyone will dress up as. So while I was getting ready for work, I switched back and forth between Today and GMA. The Today Show SNL characters was, of course, spot on. I really liked the George Clooney in the boat w/his new wife on GMA.
