Blue Dogs Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 HoustonMidtown, I know that but she also could be doing the weekend newscasts with Tom Abrams.Speaking of weekend newscasts, I've noticed they took off David Nuno from the weekend morning newscasts opens, what's going on?

little frau Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Well, I've see her (Barrett) several times now and I'm not impressed. I do have to wonder why Uchida left. The real reason, not something the station said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Dogs Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 Natasha Barrett is on the weekend newscast right now! Just watching the weekend 6pm news online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Dogs Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 Little Frau, I give Barrett at least 6 years before she bails to a bigger news market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little frau Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I guess I'll be getting my news somewhere else then. I have honestly tried to watch her but she does not seem very "put together", at least not enough to be in the anchor seat. She should look to Melanie Lawson or Ilona Carson for wardrobe tips. Honestly, Barrett looks like she's ready to go bar hopping with friends. She's clearly not 25 so why try to act it? I've been a 13 watcher since the early 70s but when she comes on, I am compelled to change channels. I will continue to watch Tom and Don in the mornings though.

I feel the same way about Ms Barrett's appearance. The men on the news set are wearing coats and ties -- she should wear something that's business-appropriate and not a sleeveless knit top.

Blue Dogs Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 We'll see if the management of KTRK Ch 13 sits Barrett down and tell her to dress business like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonMidtown Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 We'll see if the management of KTRK Ch 13 sits Barrett down and tell her to dress business like. This is probably a dumb question, but do they wear their own clothes or do the stations provide outfits ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Dogs Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 HoustonMidtown, they wear their own clothes during newscasts. But my wife, Alicia told me that Barrett needs a better touch-up with her hair though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little frau Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 We'll see if the management of KTRK Ch 13 sits Barrett down and tell her to dress business like. I'm curious as to this statement. Do you think the station has heard or read of comments such as ours? Is Barrett the subject of other blogs or forums? And I do have to agree with your wife, her hair needs something, I'm just not sure what. Maybe her extensions are too long. I remember when Shara Fryer was in the anchor seat, there was an article in the paper on her and her clothes. She told the reporter that she often would only concentrate on her outfit from the waist up, meaning blouses and jackets, that the viewing public never saw her from the waist down. That meant that she could buy the "top" part of an outfit sold as separates, saving money. Back then, the anchors sat all the time whereas now, we do see them standing by the screens in some stories. I liked her and hated to see her leave. I might add that when I'm away from Houston, I'm in the Austin viewing area and I can't think of any of the women anchors on Austin stations who would compare to Barrett. Maybe Ch.13 thinks they need on air ladies to compete with the blonds on 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useyourhead Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Wow, what channel have you all been watching? I am very impressed with Natasha Barrett. Not only does she handle anchoring duties very well, she has major chops as a reporter. It seems there might be some personal issues going on here, possibly because she is immensely attractive. So, that's the first thing critics discuss or dissect in this case. What is this the 70's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
