The Spinward Marches

by Steve_Edwards from Los Angeles

Last Post 91 days, 8 hours Ago


I"m   not sure  of  the   exact  date,,,,,but  sometime in July 1995, Jillian  moved from the  ten pm news  to join  Dot and me  on GoodDay La.  Dorothy  had  been there for several months and I had started  in May. It was not an auspicious  beginning.  There  were  five english language  morning shows on the air  and I think we were about 12th in the ratings. Somehow, someway we stayed on the air  and shockingly turned into one pf thesuprise successes in Los Angeles. As I've often said, there's no accounting  for  taste!So, on this occasion  of, what i think is our anniversay,   I open this blog  to you(as I've done, very infrequently in the past) and  ask the  question,
HOW COME YOU'RE  WATCHING'? 
With  gratitude  Steve

Well Steve you finally broke down and started writing in your blog again! Did you get bored. I haven't seen you here in a lonnnng time. What happened? In answer to your question it's seeing what you and dorothy come up with everyday. What shannigans are you going to do today.

Congratulations to your 13 years anniversary to you, Jillian and Dorothy. I began watching Good Day LA, when I became a mom. You all seem like an extended family to us viewers, and that is probably why we continue to tune in. You are all smart and funny and REAL! Love you Guys!! ~RZ

Hi Steve!!! I love Good day LA!! I watch you guys every single day at work on the web and I still Tivo it just in case I miss something. I have been watching you guys for about 7 years already. Every morning I look forward to waking up and drinking my cup of coffee and watching you guys for a little while at home and as soon as I get to work I watch you on the web. I love you guys! You guys make my day a lot brighter each day. Especially when Larry and you and Jillian dance, hahaha!!! Dorothy is always the low key one who just passes on the dancing. It's ok though I still love her!! Each of you bring something unique to the table and that is what I think attracts me to your show. Individuality!! What I would love though is to be able to watch online and be able to rewind or forward the show once the show is over. Sometimes while working i will miss something and want to rewind it but you can't. So I would recommend you guys to do that. Well love you guys healthm welath and happiness to all of you.

xoxo
Val

Hey Steve I've been watching you since 2 on the town. As a matter of fact I went from a dingy blond to a redhead because of a make over you had on your show. I moved to Arizona and moved back here only to find you again on Good Day LA. I couldn't or wouldn't want to live without your show. I love you all, even Larry!!! Juls

Steve, you guys are the best show on morning tv. Seriously, each one of you could carry your own shows. You and Dorothy and Jill are great but I have such a crush on Nichelle. What a babe. The only thing I would change is that maybe you could have an afternoon segment or do some specials during the year.

Steve, I'm watching because having been an avid viewer of the KTLA Morning News for almost 17 years, when they made their abominable changes on March 17th of this year - You became my new home. They have terminated several of their seasoned, talented and trustworthy reporters and replaced them with what I refer to as the bottom of the barrel. One of which I understand came from your place. If I hear her call a victim of a fire "hon" one more time, I'll scream!
I have to admit it has taken some adjusting on my part, because I was an avid viewer of "their" show, but I am adjusting and rather enjoy GDLA now.
I really respect Dorothy's entertainment reporting to that of Sam Rubin's any day! Jillian is like exchanging 1 Canuck for another...but love, love, love Nichelle and Rick Dickert. And last but certainly not least....Steve you are a true professional who I have watched since I was a little kid....I'm now 54!!!!!! Sorry, I just couldn't resist.
You guys ROCK and you are now my NEW HOME in the mornings! Thank you!

Well thats simple, you three are great together. You, Steve are very knowledgeable in many areas. I particularly like when you do a story that is a bit confusing and Jill askes a question that I would, and you explain it in a very simple way. I also appreciate that your the only morning show that does the weather for Hemet (where I live). I think Jill is hilarious. I like when Dorothy gets to move away from entertainment and into politics, she comes to life. I think we all also like that you include the crew, love Larrys hammer pants and fannie pack! I love Nash stories and Ruby storys, they're beautiful kids.

I wanted to say a special thanks you to you for your congradulating me on my marriage, it was very thoughtful. This is what comes through on your show, You seem like a very thoughtful and smart man.

Don't change a thing, We love you, you three make a great team!!!

i started watching the morning show because at the time, i was living with my dad. we didnt own anything but a mattress, a tv, and a beat up old radio. since i didnt have a clock, the only way i can keep track of time was by watching the news because you have the little clock on the lower right side. so thank you guys for that. eventually i begain listening, and eventually i got hooked, and have been ever since. steve, you make complicated things easy to understand, jill ask questions that i would ask, dorothy just makes me laugh due to her shy nature. all the women are pretty, and all of the male anchors are very down to earth, and dont seem all stiff and fake like other news shows. you guys are real, and it just seems like fun being there at the station. plus i love the goofy sound effect, i love seeing larry, and i enjoy watching you guys dance, and nothing cooler ther seeing steve get down on the drums and guitar. it all adds up to make great tv. thanks for all the great tv, and all the great memories.

I am not going to blow smoke up your skirt......Steve I do not understand why you are so tolerant of the stuff, (and that is spelled [...]) that comes out of Dorothy's mouth. And JIll-zilla, wow, I don't even know where to start......

Steve,
I started watching you when you had a morning show with Christina (I cant think of her last name right now) I liked you way back then and with all the mornings I have spent with you, I respect and adore you... You are sort of like a cool uncle that I have never met in person. I like Dorothy and Jillian but you are the best of the best at what you do.

Steve has been the host of GoodDay LA for 13 years and counting. While it seems that he's been on LA tv for 60 years, it's really been since 1978. Steve's been the host of too many shows to mention but a few are: Am Los Angeles, Two on the Town, Live in La,: he has a closetfull of emmys, a star on Hollywood Blvd and looks forward (most mornings) to his time with Jillian and Dorothy, and yes, he reads a lot of the stuff you write!
