When CNN and People have a joint venture, you know the show will be mediocre and it was.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-24566098000495049382008-11-28T09:39:00.000-05:002008-11-28T09:39:00.000-05:00A 2008 heroes show, with no one from our military?...A 2008 heroes show, with no one from our military?<BR/><BR/>That's an absurdity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-66729010063007478522008-11-28T05:27:00.000-05:002008-11-28T05:27:00.000-05:00This was my first time watching the CNN Heroes tri...This was my first time watching the CNN Heroes tribute. And all I have to say was, wow! Each person's words brought me to tears and it allowed me to think that if a Nanny in LA can make a difference, a lady in El Paso, and a business man in Savannah, why can't I do something? <BR/>I promise you that I will. <BR/>Thank you CNN for an excellent event.

As it happens it was too expensive and I wound up watching the show at least 3 times.<BR/>This year I couldn't stand to watch it once. What was missing? Everything, including good sense and Christiane Amanpour. She also helped Anderson host and it proved to be a worth while diversion. It was taped at the Metropolitan and portions were also filmed at the public library which provided a sense of culture and sophistication.<BR/>This year CNN crossed the line between entertainment and journalism,filming in LA. We heard far less from the actual heroes and far, far, far more from the celebrities, all of whom I care very little about.<BR/>Anderson looked the part of the perfect host, but gone was his boyish charm and in place a graceful bordem. No one reads the teleprompter better than Anderson or looks better doing it. Having said that, I don't watch CNN to be entertained and I NEVER watch award shows and that's exactly what this was, interspered with some heroes who yes, were inspiring, but given a lot less to do than last year. The only one who wasn't inspired was THIS viewer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
