The Quadfecta of TV News Cuteness...

...happened recently on Channel 6 ABC (Philadelphia) morning news.

I don't know if you're aware of this, but with the advent of high-definition TV two things became obvious when it came to newscasting: 1) news story videos now appeared breathtakingly realistic; and 2) every pore on a newscasters face looked like a moon crater. One evidence of the panic of the industry has been a sudden run on Cover Girl and Max Factor products. The other has been the assemblage of younger, more good-looking people in front of the camera than ever before.

Channel 6 achieved the Perfect Storm of Pretty when I turned on the TV to see Matt O'Donnell (anchor), Tamala Edwards (anchor), Adam Joseph (weather), and Matt Pellman (traffic) on the set together.

All of a sudden I was thrown back to high school and could just see them gathered all together at a table in the cafeteria. Planning their next party and who they weren't going to invite.

Hmph.

But I'm not bitter.
