To hein21 or Jennifer, (the "fellow Catholic" )and several other commenters, lay off the cut and paste already! 210 comments listed and probably 100 of them are the same *** thing. Who's running this thing, anyway??
"That's our world today, enjoy yours tonight."
Some new comments would make my day. thanks.

katie you may have me hooked and now i may turn away from brian after so many years. keep the stories less and the depth deeper and its a good thing. DO NOT SELL AD TIME TO PRESCRIPTION DRUG MAKERS not because i'm a nut jumping on a sofa but because me and my pals are healthy americans and don't want to feel like we have to be watching you from an old folks home.

i like the free speech and want to be invited one day. if you stick to the middle of politics i will stay. if you veer to rather's old world, "see ya!".

soft stories like the end notes are good and i watch the sunday morning show for just those types of things. hopefully you can keep them as interesting as week 1.

see you at 6.30.

well after 5 years of religous watching of brian over on the other net, i think i'm hooked. that is as long as you have less commersh time as i see you do and less prescription drug ads as i URGE your ad sellers to refuse. (i'm not a tom cruise follower or anti-this-or-that but i am healthy (like many of your viewers) and not at all interested in geriatrics at the moment and think brian's team sells ONLY those ads)... show me ads on apple and cool cars and i'll be your friend. your longer pieces on big news is great and the heart string jerker at the end is a good endnote. i religiously watch the sunday morning show for those types of soft hits. I also like the free speech idea and hope i can someday chime in. if you REALLY ARE interested in hitting the "middle" of politics then STICK TO IT. don't do it just to catch us and then slowly slide back to the rather years...

I enjoyed watching CBS news for many years then why the program suddenly stops "CC" the news. Please bring back closed captions! I can't hear you at all and need closed captions to "hear" you. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope that Katie reads the comments here. I am a BIG fan of Katie, and I became addicted to morning news 10 years ago because of Katie. I miss her terribly on the Today show. I jumped over to see her on the CBS nightly news last night, (tuesday). All in all it was great to see her back, however I thought the eye makeup was to heavy, and I miss the great personality!!! Tonight (wednesday) the makeup was better. I know in time Katie's personality will shine through. You go girl!!! I enjoy hearing what you have to report to the viewers, hope to see you many more years to come!! You have a super personality, it's a shame we can't get more of it on the nightly news!

Your show was well done, but you lost me at the Rush Limbaugh part. I thought you were going for civility? If I want to watch nasty people promoting Bush talking points I will watch Fox.
