5/5: Men in Trees cancelled, Deadliest Catch story
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
TV Guide reports that ABC’s “Men in Trees,” which has been moved around the schedule numerous times, has been canned.
Creator Jenny Bicks believes that two years of schizophrenic scheduling ultimately did the cherished dramedy in. “I wish the show had not been moved six times and put onto two long hiatuses,” she sighs. “No show could survive that.”
-I wrote a story about Discovery Channel’s “Deadliest Catch,” after interviewing fisherman Phil Harris last week at Hooters downtown. He was a funny guy, very quotable.
-Oh, and following on the heels of Britney Spears guesting on CBS’s “How I Met Your Mother,” Lindsay Lohan is doing a guest stint on ABC’s “Ugly Betty.” Ratings ploy? But of course! And Britney is back on May 12 on “How I Met.”
-And have folks caught the northbound billboards on I-75 (near I-20 in Marietta) and I-85 (just before Beaver Ruin) featuring Dagmar Midcap, the very fetching weather forecaster on WGCL? From far away, you can see the huge words “DAGMAR” and her photo, with just a hint of cleavage. I’m going to have to call WGCL and get a bit more about this ad campaign. I don’t recall a billboard campaign centered around a weather gal before, at least in this town, eh?

Is Dagmar on a billboard a bad thing? I think not.

I have only taken an interest in the weather since I first saw Dagmar. The only catch is that my wife asks me about tomorrows weather.

Go find some video of Dagmar’s first few weeks on CBS 46’s Morning Show.
Those outfits were SOOOOOOO hot … with LOTS more cleavage than now!
If she ever wore those outfits again (low-cut baby-doll tops with lots of freckled cleavage), the other three weather boys would have ZERO male viewers!
(But I still think she was named after a mutual fund! - LOL

I am sure the station and probably everyone else knows the appeal of Dagmar is her chest. How can she be taken serious as a weather forecaster?

Carlos…you are assuming that a weather person needs to be taken seriously in the first place. If you bookmark the weather channel with your zip code in it you get the weather in less than 2/10ths of a second. It’s all about entertainment…and she’s sure more fun to watch than Al Roker.

WHY is it so cool for hot ladies to have names like Dagmar, Brockney, Madison, Mason and Beauregard??

Is it me or has anyone noticed that Dagmar looks like a 9 on the billboard, but is more like a 4-5 on tv? I think somebody has a little fun with their airbrush.

Channel 46 now opens their ads for the late news not with the anchors but with Dagmar and the camera starts at her cleveage and moves to the face. The billboard also majes sure that a lot of the cleveage is showing. I like clevage but its a little sad to attract viewers on that and now content.
