Down with the Today Show

Prior to the arrival of 2009, I would get ready for work in the morning in silence and pick out clothes in the dark while Diana enjoyed the life of a student and did not have to be up at 7:30am. However, now that Diana is working, we are both up in the morning at the same time. This has posed a new problem for me: she likes to watch the Today show. I don't know why, but I have never liked this show. I didn't realize how much I disliked it though until now. With that, I give you my Top 10 Reasons Why I Dislike the Today Show:

1. They laugh at each other's jokes when they aren't funny. You couldn't have faker laughs if you tried.
2. Al Roker has officially lost his mind and I liked him much better when he was fat.
3. They report on things like news when they really aren't news. It's 7am. I don't care about octuplets, or weight loss, or that someone turned 100 this early in the morning. Leave me alone.
4. I'm 99% sure that they all hate each other and it drives me crazy that they pretend to be best friends
5. They talk too calmly. Everyone seems happy and relaxed. Listen, no one likes being up this early. If anything, I'd rather watch someone who was in as bad of a mood as I am. It would be much funnier, and then maybe you wouldn't have to force the laughter.
6. Matt Lauer is not a real reporter, I don't care what you say. He is best known for his segment, "Where in the world is Matt Lauer?" That is not real reporting. That is Today show reporting.
7. They always show weather for random cities. Are that many people in Cincinnatti really watching this?
8. The whole show seems to be one huge cross-promotion for the network. They have NBC TV stars on way too often as guests.
9. Ann Curry is condescending
10. It's 7:30 in the morning! I don't even like food or baseball that early...how am I supposed to like the Today show?

I vote for Saved by the Bell in the morning...anyone else with me?
