Things that Suck decrees that one thing that sucks is local newscasts pimping for shows on their networks:

Keep up the good work. But, aw, poor Tom Ellis! I remember when he was the Anchorhunk (and then they teamed him up with Robin Young, the Anchorette, around the same time the Nat and Chet, the Anchorcouple, were having their Anchorbaby).
Tom Ellis
Yeah, I vaguely remember Robin Young, the anchor babe. Remember Ellis then barely too, but don't think I watched him much. I can't believe he was as bad then as he is on NECN, though. Sorry to offend if you have a soft spot for him.
