Dateline (1992)
OK at best
I used to love this show. But the old style of presenting with the weird exaggerated inflections of voice is just too much anymore. The worst offenders are Andrea Canning and Keith Morrison. The rest of the cast is fine, but I can't listen to the unnatural voice cadence of either Andrea or Keith anymore. It almost sounds like a parody. I just started watching The Ultimate Betrayal episode on Peacock and couldn't last five minutes listening to Andrea Canning. Perhaps I'm in the minority, but there are so many other shows available that are just as interesting, but have cast members that speak like normal people.
Dateline: The Last Day (2022)
CANNING RUINS THIS
The first several episodes were interesting. Then Andrea Canning comes in with her unnatural voice inflections, in an almost sing-song way and I can't listen to her anymore. Her statements are ridiculous, such as when hearing someone was stabbed 15 times, she says "that's a lot". Please stop using this person in Dateline. Both she and Keith Morrison use that weird voice accenting in unnatural places all the time. It reminds me of the 60's and 70's reporting. I would rather hear natural speech that doesn't make me want to tear my own hair out. Otherwise, I like the episodes without those two reporters. I.
