Please tell me that DH & I are not the only ones who find this show completely nauseating!
There are too many presenters for a start and the way that guy Steve breaks into song all the time makes me cringe, and thats just the beginning! edited to make sense ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">

I agree. it's embarrassing that it's NZ television!! Once I flicked over and Steve and that other guy were doing ballet with Astar, my goodness. It's quite tacky (sorry Good Morning!) ------------- Mama to DS1 (5 years), DS2 (3 years) and... http://alterna-tickers.com" rel="nofollow">

Good Morning is on Channel 1 at 9am (Breakfast is the one on Channel 1 first thing in the morning, Sunrise is on TV at the same time as Breakfast. I LOVE Breakfast, I think it's hilarious and interesting... Sunrise is ok, but Breakfast is better).
I'm really not a massive tv watcher honestly, I just know what I do like to watch when it's on! Lol. ------------- Mama to DS1 (5 years), DS2 (3 years) and... http://alterna-tickers.com" rel="nofollow">

Like Breakfast but not Good Morning, hate all the products they sell during the show. Think there should only be two presenters. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I love Breakfast, Paul Henry cracks me up!
Yeah there only needs to be 2 presenters not 4! I don't watch it but often see bits & pieces of it or the ad's advertising it, the TV is on alot in my house. I agree about the adverts in it so annoying and the excercising and dancing that they do WTF? ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">

I like Good Morning as well, don't find it tacky, just amusing! Just get annoyed with all the advertorials.
There is 3 presenters not four, Sarah, Brendon and Steve. |

Come on Good Morning isn't that bad, maybe a bit too relaxed but I quite like the fact that Steve feels he can be his flamboyant gay self on National Telly. If I had my way though - Mary Lambie would be back in the presenting seat and Steve purely doing Movie reviews

I think they were refering to Matai (sp?) - The lovely dude who fronts the Maori language segment as being the 4th presenter. I guess he kinda has taken on the role of 4th presenter in some respects.
I can think of much more embarassing NZ TV shows. |

It has definitely got progressively worse, nothing like it was when Mary Lambie was fronting it.
They just seem to struggle for things to say and their improvising leaves a lot to be desired. I think its time for a change in presenters. ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">

Hi,
I have to agree that the shows not as good as it used to be. One segment that really gets to me is the exercise one - especially with the girl Julz (I think she looks like Steve a bit!!! - sorry). Too many presenters and advertisement segments. But on the up side Duncan Thomson isn't too bad to look at! |

OMG no way Sunrise is way better than Breakfast!
Now back to OT - yeah Good Morning is terrible. It used to be ok when it had Mary Lambie on it. Steve was always best back when he was on BFM in the mornings as part of Havoc's slot. -------------

uuughh Good Morning is just terrible. They really need new presenters.
When they do the preview for the next day it really grates me how they always do a quick look at each other when they first start speaking IYKWIM. A friend of mine pointed it out, now thats all I see, hehe! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I can't stand Brendan he thinks hes such hot sh*t and he sure is not.
Sarah is possibly the most boring person alive, whoever styles her needs to be shot. I quite like Steve and Astar I think they are hilarious. |

| I love Matai! He is my DH's cousin. He was at the last wedding we went to, and ended up doing the mc duties at times, BUT I agree good morning isn't as good. I love steve too though. |

ooh that reminds me of when I got married years ago and Astar had just started on Good Morning. I booked my venue and the woman there was friends with Astar and offered to get her to do my flowers. Funnily enough I decided to go with someone else  -------------

I hate the show. Everyone is annoying, and the lady (don't know her name, the main one) is terrible at interviews and comes across either stupid, uneducated or really misinformed. Part of me wonders if she means to come across that way?
The infomercials annoy me, Astar grates on my nerves and the chatter is mindless. Obviously, not a fan!! I like Breakfast, but don't watch it as much since Pippa went. After Breakfast I always switch to C4 for the music. |

Can't stand it now either. I am usually at work when it is on, but we have the TV going almost all day and it is on after breakfast (another watcher of that - I love Paul Henry) so I hear it going most of the morning. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Ugh , another non fan here, when I was working my boss had it on in the mornings, many a time I was so nauseated by what they were saying that I almost accidentally stuck the suction up a patients nose .....another benefit of not working , I know longer have to watch it .
I can't stand the program, the presenters are neither here nor there to me , but I do wish Astar would learn to talk slower and not run herself out of breath , and when Steve does the celeb gossip ,im always tempted to email and ask him if he ALWAYS believes everything from Womans Day . And if I see one more blimming add for Biomag, or for Pureaz one hundred percent collagen capsules, I will pick up the tv and drop it on my head . -------------

lol...Breakfast-sorry freckle- paul henry has been a complete ass lately... and used to like Ali but not anymroe..can't wait till Pippa comes back..
Good Morning- Brendon can't present at all but he is good looking:) sarah I kinda like and Steve:) the collagen lady sounds like she is just reading everything!:) they say the 2 thing(which is freaking annoying:) ) because a lot of dumb people ring the wrong number on the 2 bit for some reason.. I think the advert guy Mark is ok..but there are far too many adverts and it's on mostly for background noise here:) and I like Breakfast(well i used to) and DH sunrise so depends who turns the tv on cause we both don't like Oliver Driver but do like Carly and Rod.. oh and I love Tamati:) ------------- Mum to two amazing boys! |

Astar is quite nutty. And I agree that Duncan Thomson is quite easy on the eye ...... but I quite like the fact that the show is so relaxed and a bit random at times.
I am over hearing about the Biomag and the Puraz - that chick on that add Suzy looks like somebody has punched her in the mouth. |
