Harold Green Inspiration For Ron Burgundy; KPIX Doldrums Less Toxic But Still Crappy at 855 Battery; Goodrich/Cook Synergy?: Stacy Owen/Jess Aguirre at NBC Bay Area Rally The Troops; Raj Mathai/Janelle Wang Chung Tonight; KTVU Eternal Toxic; Fonzi Funk; Ibanez/Haener Magic; Happy Monday

YES, it was long-ago KPIX anchor, Harold Greene, (and San Diego's KGTV), who allowed Will Farrell to follow him around and thus, you have Ron Burgandy.

And now you have...the rest of the story.

*2022 PIX: the new rollout of newish (sort of) anchors in different time slots--chief among them, Juliette Goodrich solo-anchoring at 6 and 7, has found a little more energy and appears steady although the newsroom is just as chaotic as ever. People, especially the producers and editors don't know their role. Can you believe it? What a bizarro. Maybe Lisa White should buy the staff lunch and, oh, I don't know, drinks too. Even a few Subway sandwiches wouldn't cost that much, Lisa, and the end result could be just what you need. In addition to everything else.

*Actually Liz Cook and Goodrich would be a splendid twosome on the desk but yeah, pairing two women, (both white) is against the law in the TV Newsroom code society.

*Scott Warren, you can't hide Ryan Yamamoto, you're stuck with him. Just put him on at noon where nobody will see him.

*Dear Stacy Owen (GM/NBC Bay Area), you and Jess Aguirre may have made it to the Silver Circle, but you guys have issues un your own newsroom. The troops have seemed to indicate (to moi) that they rarely get any decent feedback (if at all), and feel somewhat betrayed. Stace, I do belive a conference/chat is in order to tell the staff you love them all and that life is good, assuming you love 'em all and life is good.

Oh, and don't forget the Subway sandwiches and coffee.

*Life is good for them two: Raj Mathai and Janelle Wang.

Hey Raj, I heard that 9 o'clock "meeting" at the hotel up the street, was quite "informative."

*There's nothing wrong for maintaining cohesive thought and energy. It's not in the handbook but so the hell, what! People are people, especially guys and dolls, so I say as long as no one gets hurt, carry on.

*I keep saying it can't get any more toxic at KTVU but then more and more folks tell me the chatty folks who spend the time across the street at the parking lot condo have a fresh round of more garbage to talk about and it is indeed more gar-bage. The Firm is especially pissed off about how the ratings --at 10 PM specifically--is cratering mightily and how the new guy in charge has more baggage than the United terminal at SFO.

Screw sandwiches, Amber (Eikel) --take the staff to the bar at the Butter Cup and let some steam off. You have zero to lose.

New joke at Fox2: "Mike Mibach is our Ryan Yamamoto."

To which I say, "ouch!"

*ADD KTVU: Joe Fonzi: why bother?

*It's not Fonzi's fault he looks about 77 and it's also bull they're paying him about 12 bucks an hour.

*Mark Ibanez is so relaxed now he told Julie Haener she could take off her high heels and hit him in the face.

*Assuming Julie was at work.

*If I were a shrink, I'd set up an office in Jack London Square and offer discounts to all personnel at Channel 2 because I know I'd be a very rich man.

*Then again, people at PIX are screaming, "what about us"!

*Happy Monday.
