I think I developed my crush on Serena Altschul as a transference of my love for CBS Sunday Morning. It's the best news on television, devoting plenty of air time to every story to go beyond just the surface scraping that is done by regular news. Charles Osgood and before him, Charles Kuralt lead a team that is still tries to present information rather than sensation, which must make the ghost of Edward R. Murrow happy. Since 2003, Serena Altschul has be a regular part of this group.
CBS Sunday Morning is the exact opposite of MTV where she got her start, but she was an adult voice and along with Kurt Loder, one of the few people on a video network to not act like a total douchebag. I actually stood beside her at a show at Roseland once. She was verbally chastisting her boyfriend over some failure at planning and she struck me as a beautiful, yet slightly bitchy MTV-type. Then CBS made the call.
Since she's been on CBS, she's appeared as a smokin' hot blond that is also wicked smart and totally has her shit together. These are the same qualities that made the wtb the wtb. Should I hit she ever give me the boot, I could always have my Sunday coffee and crossword with Ms. Altschul.
