"The Fourth Hour of Today? Stop It Before It Kills Again"Review from Verne Gay at Newsday, New York:

What’s that old well-worn line that critics like to deploy when feeling especially snarky or spent – “We watch so that you don't have to?” Well, after sitting through the "Fourth Hour of Today Show" (FHOTS), I'm just gonna twist that line inside out: From now on, YOU watch, so I don't have to...

I felt the pain. Now it's your turn to feel the pain.

The Fourth Hour is utter glop, with no reason for being, no purpose, no intelligence, no thought, no energy, and no originality. Remember "Later Today," the third hour at the turn of the century that derailed or sidelined a whole bunch of careers? That was actually better. ...More @ NewsDay.com (http://weblogs.newsday.com/entertainment/tv/blog/2007/09/review_the_fourth_hour_of_toda.html)

Ed. note: I'll file this one under "M" for "Mixed-Emotions". Yes, I want more HD programming, just not more "glop".

The best thing about the 4th hour of Today is, we run it at 1:00 PM, when the CE stores are open. Maybe someone might see some OTA HD while shopping for a new TV set.
