I was watching it before it was cool to watch it.

RocketRod: Hell, Osgood is just a cheap substitute for Kuralt.

Hell yeas, Kuralt was a playa, yo, with two biatches. Why you think he was on tha road all the damn time?

I used to watch it all the time when Charles Kuralt did it.

PizzaJedi81: I was watching it before it was cool to watch it.

I watched it before you.

I love Sunday Morning. It's not Sunday without it.

I started watching back in the '80s when I was in highschool. Does that make me pre-hipster, or just old?

PizzaJedi81: I was watching it before it was cool to watch it.

No we'll have to stop as it's becoming too popular.

On a Sunday morning it's a nice program. Pleasant, no shocks, and it's those human interest stories that would normally be in Readers Digest.

Wait until hipsters discover Readers Digest condensed novels.

I pray the hipsters don't discover how cool John McLaughlin is.
/bye bye!!

I'm 25 and I've been watching it almost every weekend for years. I'll make no apologies for that.

I usually tape it and watch it later in the morning. My Sunday morning ritual includes listening to Joe Gallagher on WGY out of Albany NY. And theJesus Christ Show on KOGO from San Diego. (good solid advice stuff)

anyone else a radio geek?

I only watch it on my iPad app

For what it's worth, CBS' new straight-news weekday morning show is immensely preferable to The Early Show, Today, GMA and all the other hip-hip-happy, chipper, sugar-rushed punch-in-the-face morning shows.

Well, I'm watching it on my Kindle Fire. Keep up, man.

The best show on network television by far.

Came here to say this. Also, check out Osgood's poem about the POSSLQ (pronounced Pozzel Cue) poem. My daughter got a kick out of it. It was a term used on the census for Persons of the Opposite Sex Sharing Living Quarters.


My POSSLQ
Come live with me and be my love,
And we will some new pleasures prove
Of golden sands and crystal brooks
With silken lines, and silver hooks.
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
If you would be my POSSLQ.

You live with me, and I with you,
And you will be my POSSLQ.
I'll be your friend and so much more;
That's what a POSSLQ is for.

And everything we will confess;
Yes, even to the IRS.
Some day on what we both may earn,
Perhaps we'll file a joint return.
You'll share my pad, my taxes, joint;
You'll share my life - up to a point!
And that you'll be so glad to do,
Because you'll be my POSSLQ.

I've gotta admit, Osgood does have quite a sharp sense of humor, and drier than a July day in Death Valley.

I like it, so does that me me a hipster without being a hipster.

I thought I haven't seen that show...until I saw that sun logo. Damn, I haven't seen that sun since I was very young, like 3 or 4. In fact, it's one of my earliest memories, seeing that sun. Didn't know that show was still on. Of course, I'm usually sleeping in on sundays nowadays, but, you know.

Earguy: Or, maybe they're maturing. Their attention spans are increasing. They're awake at 9:00 on a Sunday morning. They can appreciate a quality.

Is this such a bad thing?

And that kind of reasonable comment, Earguy, is why I have you favorited. I like Osgood on a Sunday morning; it's interesting at times, thoughtful, maybe a little genial to start the morning, and unlike on ABC I don't feel the urge to jab a pen in George Will's ear.

I only watch it on this.



/actually played NES on a similar TV back in the day

but it hurts me on the inside

All I can say is, they better still be up, rather than getting up early.

It's SundayFreakinMorning fergawdssake.

/kids these days

RocketRod: Hell, Osgood is just a cheap substitute for Kuralt.

Word.

If I was up early enough on Sunday mornings, I 'd catch 'Sunday Morning' while my dad watched it. I haven't watched it in a long time and I can still hear the trumpet theme from the show.

It's been a great show for a long time. I like the little nature clip they always run at the end.

Botkin of the Yard: It's been a great show for a long time. I like the little nature clip they always run at the end.

Indeed, I've enjoyed Sunday Morning since I was a kid. I got into it because my dad would have it on before we went church, it was always nice when someone in the family was running late so I could watch to the end of the nature clip (the service started at 10:30).

Not left-wing enough for hipsters.


Eleanor Clift notwithstanding...

I am so incredibly tired of the term hipster

PizzaJedi81: I was watching it before it was cool to watch it.

Yeah, Sunday Morning has always been pretty damn good.

I have been watching Sunday Morning with my mother all my life.

My brother just named his first born after the Charles' of Sunsay Morning

"On a Sunday morning it's a nice program. Pleasant, no shocks, and it's those human interest stories that would normally be in Readers Digest."

Exactly. I've watched it since I was a kid.

simply,
Serenity Now.

Serena Altschuhl does reporting on that show. I've always liked her since her days on Mtv.

Also, her name literally means old-school.

Likewise, I find it pleasant, not loud shocks, not dumbed down and the human interest stories less sensationalized. Besides, who'd thought I'd get to see Serena Altshul again?

CSB CBS, bro.

Wonderduck: I started watching back in the '80s when I was in highschool. Does that make me pre-hipster, or just old?

This.

Seriously, what's so hipster about quality journalism that doesn't speak down to its audience?

If CBS were to follow this model for its weekday morning show, they'd have a winner. Instead they've trucked out a steady stream of Today/GMA clones for 40 years with no success.

/miss Kuralt
//weird that it turned out he had a whole secret second family when he died

....Or maybe we just grew up watching it every sunday, because the typical kid of Baby-Boom Gen PBS listeners had parents who were the prime audience for that show.


Frankly, I've been watching that all my life, though I haven't seen an ep since the Bush admin; I couldn't really endure them jumping on the Sept. 11th bandwagon.

Well to be fair, George Will is a lying, propaganda-spewing dirt-bag who never saw a war he didn't like, whereas Osgood is uniformly decent. Unfortunately, Sunday Morning tends to regurgitate most of the "establishment" foreign policy stances which George Will has made a life out of hocking. These days, you aren't liable to see them call b.s. on something like, say, the absurdity of our saber-rattling over Iran.

I started watching it in the 90s when I couldn't afford cable. I always liked the fact that it is interesting, intelligent, and timely without using sensationalism or tabloid techniques.
