I agree.

Rodgers had also suffered a severe heart/lung ailment after his last cruise vacation that nearly killed him.

Sussman and Tom Benner seem to have hit a groove, but the show seems more childish and flippant than when Rodgers was running things. Rodgers had a solid stable of regular weekly 20 minuyr interviews with interesting pundits. Susmann still has some of them, mostly new more recent talent, but only for 10 minutes at a time. The rest is yuks with "Officer Vic."

Also, they brought in a new woman, Katie Green. I'm not sure how long she'll be there, as she's still going to college.

I like Katie just fine. She announces and does news/fill-ins for Vic, for the most part, and for that she is just fine IMO. Peppy voice.

Sussman, I go hot and cold on. I appreciate that he is hard working and I generally agree with him, but there are lots of times when I just find him so full of himself I have to shut him off. He’s competent, not especially dazzling. If you recall, when Lee Rodgers was sick and later easing out, Sussman often did double shifts, talking 8+ hours a day. That takes some endurance, I’m sure.

I greatly prefer Brian Sussman over Lee Rodgers. Rodgers had a pervy edge to him that I found highly distasteful. He could take a story about pavement and make it something perverted...yuck.

I guess we’ll all see what happens here. If Brian S does well, I’ll be happy.
