"Good" Morning, America?

Could there be anything fluffier than national network morning news shows? Horrible banter among hosts. McNews or news-lite. Stupid human interest stories. Homogenous guests (Josh, the big old dog who won the recent dog show was on each show).

SNL had a great send-up of those shows once, and when the teleprompter broke the entire cast eroded into a "Lord of the Flies" scenario in which the hosts turned into savages (complete with Will Farrell, shirtless, with a palm painted on his chest, screaming, "Respect the Order of the Hand!").

If they want America to really have a good morning they should just show reruns of Looney Toons and provide chocolate milk. It doesn't get much better than that.
