Agreed. I hate the sunrise desk and coffee table, they are just big lighting boxes and visually are ugly. They should use the same ones from TMS.
Seven really needs one set that can be used for everything that isnât just ugly light boxes. Itâs so hideous.

You know what, the base of the set they have is fine. The issue is the choice of safe boring lighting on the set light boxes - its the same palette and they donât get creative. As well as all of the graphics used for , 7News, Sunrise, Morning Show are all hideous. They have blank canvases built into the set but they choose ugly and dated looking graphics.
I remember when this set was introduced and Pell was saying âits the most advanced set we have hadâ yet its what⌠6 years old now(?) and they STILL havenât used it to itâs full potential.
Its like burying someone a 4k 60inch TV and they watch everything in Standard Definition.
Thatâs my issue.

I liked the first set. As time went on things got worse. I like the whole NBC today sort of live studio with the city happenings in the backdrop.

Oh my! Life before social distancing! Great memories.
I like the patterns in the light boxes more than some of the ugly pastel colours they have these days. The sunrise patterns from this era look even better. These backdrops just looked much classier.

Thatâs a good one. What I loved about that era was the simplicity of switching between non city to city view.
Those colours are a good fit. No reason why they couldnât have stayed. And no reason why the set couldnât have remained like that but an evolution of that model.
One other piece of that set should have remained also.

The downfall began when Adam exited. No one understood that show better than him.

Thereâs no cohesion. Bits and pieces that they throw together, move in and out.
If TMS makes any set changes, what they need to do is open it up a little and utilise the street windows. Itâs too dark.

Is it as simple as the EP thinking âthe DE desk isnât being used anymore. Letâs give it a go!â?

Possibly. Itâs Sarah Stinson who was/is the Executive Producer of both programs.

On this morningâs episode Larry shared a letter he wrote to his late father Dave, as part of the Letters to My Mentor campaign by the Raise Foundation, which helps to find mentors for vulnerable young people.

From what I remember reading online at the time, both Kylie & Larry developed chemistry as co-presenters of The Morning Show quite quickly.

I think the next time that Larry is away on holidays (which will most likely be sooner rather than later since he hasnât had a day off in exactly 4 months to the dayâŚ), Seven should use celebrity co-hosts to fill-in for him instead of the usual suspects in-house.
Some names I was thinking of, any other ones people can think of?
-
Matt De Groot from Nova 96.9
-
Beau Ryan (although is he contracted to Channel 10 because of The Amazing Race?)
-
Shannan Ponton, former trainer on The Biggest Loser and cast member on The All New Monty Guys v Gals
-
Fitzy or Wippa from Nova 96.9
-
Brendan âJonesyâ Jones from WSFM
-
Joe Hildebrand, former Studio 10 panellist
Also a good chance to test out the waters for a replacement host in case Larry suddenly leaves the network and the network want The Morning Show to continue with a new male host alongside Kylie.

Yes he is.

Well you can take Matt, Fitzy, Wippa and Jonesy off that list. Theyre on radio still minutes before this show starts.

Ah yes, I thought so, which then probably has an âexclusivity clauseâ where Beau canât appear on other networks, only on 10.
I was also thinking of adding Grant Denyer to my list but he probably also has the exclusivity clause in his contract with 10.
