Fox wakes up morning TV (Fox & Friends)
USA Today ^ | 8/18/03 | Peter Johnson

Fox & Friends, the hottest show on morning cable, doesn't get the attention that broadcast powerhouses such as NBC's Today or ABC's Good Morning America do.

And its hosts, E.D. Hill, Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade, have miles to go before they become news stars like Katie, Matt, Diane or Charlie.

This article contains blatant lies!

CNN executives have dismissed F&F as "fluff" and say that they are pleased with how American Morning, which focuses on hard news, has been received by viewers.

Everyone knows there's no hard news on the Clinton News Network (CNN)!

Imus was meant to be listened to on the radio. The show loses a lot on TV.

I'm a Huge Fox & Friend Fan. I have it on every a.m. as I get ready for work. Brian Kilmeade is my favorite.

ROFL - that picture is classic! I love Fox and Friends - those three are a riot.

I liked Ms. Hill before she married Mr. Hill. It seems as if the "hotter" outfits have all been thrown away. I haven't seen a single revealing look at her legs in quite some time.

And it seems like since she's been married she is now in a constant state of being knocked up.

I never would have said this 3-4 years ago but now I pine for the day when Kiran Chetry subs in the middle chair. At least Lauren Green continues to look nothing short of amazing.

Just what is 'rather cheesy' about the set? A set is a set and the comment is a cheap shot and a non-sequiter.

Executives at Fox News like to call F&F "the anti-Today show." Though the morning banter is always polite between NBC's Katie Couric and Matt Lauer, on Today they keep things light and fun but assiduously avoid revealing their biases.

YEAH, RIGHT!

By network TV standards, the F&F set is cheap, though the recent redesign has helped somewhat. Until the recent fixup, the big FNC sign on the set had a noticeable stain on it for the longest time. It just looked really, really bad.

The best was when Kilmeade took it to Bill Clinton in the streets of NYC two days after 9-11. Brian grilled Clinton about whether *HE* felt responsible for the attacks because he never dealt with Bin Laden. Brian wouldn't let up on him. It was great.

Wow... sure wish they'd re-air that episode!

Well, they're not a network and in hundreds of hours of viewing the show in that period, I saw no stain. This is NOT Better Homes & Gardens, btw.

You're splitting hairs. They are considered part of the "network news" group that includes ABC, CBS, NBC/MSNBC, CNN and Fox. And FNC does, of course, provide Fox Broadcasting with its news coverage when events warrant. They are the Fox network's news outlet.

and in hundreds of hours of viewing the show in that period, I saw no stain.

That's fine if you didn't see it. It was still there.

This is NOT Better Homes & Gardens, btw.

Why you're taking this as a personal affront, I have no idea. But it is amusing.

I'm not commenting on the quality of the show, merely the SET. I watch F&F plenty.
