No, today aren’t moving to park street, only to Sydney’s central meat packing districts – BTW, they should have a new host every day – that’ll raise the ratings every day! I also watch today – but i only like it because 7 is soooooooooooo fake!

What the hell is bloody wrong with the Today Show – every single one of you can go suck up to Kochie and his croaky voice. Today is better and YOU know it!

I think I just caught cancer! that was seriously depressing – the music on play school is better! From a usual 9 supporter, i have to say, GIVE UP! make something individual an creative – spend some money, don’t be tight arses and, this time try not to have stairs which lead upto nowhere and balconies which look over the nine carpark (as per the current set) – and please, don’t bone carl (or the steve jacobs) – they are the only people who are not as fake as a barbie doll

Yeah, Today’s design is pretty much totally bodge compared to what Sunrise pulled out (last month, was it?). I don’t mind the set too much (even though it makes me think of a KAK-built beach house), although it’s far too isolated for my liking.

I never realised that Karl was unpopular (hell, I can understand anyone trying to bone Wilkins) – I actually like him (and his suits – his suits are pretty awesome). I would like to see a more news-orientated style (rather than the attempts to emulate Sunrise – it’s so sad it reminds me of TT and ACA). Maybe not exactly rolling news like Sky News, but something less… absolutely laughable.

Thats just scary. It was so traumatising that I had to watch the sunrise opener just for my damaged mental state.

I’ll be one of the people holding up a “Watch Sunrise” sign…

The set still reminds me on Nan’s house. The format is boring and uninteresting you don’t need 100 presenters for sports and business. It’s too cluttered, slow and dull. Move somewhere like a street side or a city view somewhere that is more stimulating than the Sydney suburbs.

Beef up news, less chat – Dump Dicky, Cameron, Whoever is doing Business and Alan Jones. Make it faster flash it up a bit. A similar look to NBC Today would be nice as long as it is not too much like Sunrise which mimics the NBC Today look a bit. I don’t think following a British formula would work though. They tried it with their current set and it worked terribly.

The open and menu on Today are laughable – they remind me of some budget kids program or a naff music video program… I agree they are trying to mimic the sunrise formula… needs re-working….

That opening is so boring. Why everything so slow? It sort of zooms down and then waits a few seconds… and then moves onto the next pointless “postcard”. Still, it’s a million times better than anything GMTV could do. The shocking thing about GMTV is they actually believe they do their job well. It must be years since they last had a new presenter.

My sentiments exactly. Good god they look attrocious! That music is the worst! And those graphics! YUK! As for Lisa joining, well you can rearrange the deck chairs on the titanic all you want but in the end it is still gunna sink.

Urgh! I’ll tell you one thing that is wrong with ‘Today’ and that is its awful opening music and graphics.

I have never seen them before, but they really look cheesy, don’t they.
Someone needs to show them the BBC Breakfast music and graphics – see how the professionals do it!
