Katie Debuts: Instant Viewer Reactions

> “The Evening News looks great!”

> “It feels like Dateline. Not a newscast, and not 60 Minutes. More like a blend of news and Extra. Dateline is the closest thing. Yikes…”

> “CBS now has my ‘eyes’ at 6:30pm. Good mix of top stories, well-paced, and other features that are, at least, somewhat unique. The set and graphics rock, and Uncle Walter, though not the voice he was, still adds a ‘signature’ touch…”

> “While NBC Nightly News was updating viewers on Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy’s operation, CBS was showing pix of baby Suri. Enuf said…”

> “It just didn’t seem like they had as much news as they did when Scheiffer was on there…”

> “Watch for instant dissing from the right-wing blogosphere. Tom Friedman bashed Bush. And Morgan Spurlock is not exactly a conservative pin-up boy, despite the pro-civility message…”

> “Not bad for a first outing…”
