I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Ron vows to "do the thing that God put Ron Burgundy on this earth to do -- have salon-quality hair and read the news." It's the 1980s, and the blow-dried, polyester look has given way to perms and leather jackets. Co-anchors Ron Burgundy and Veronica Corningstone are husband and wife. The news business has gone global. And Ron is at the center of the action.
7. NEWSAM_140201_049.JPG: A Headline-Making Comeback: Anchorman Ron Burgundy and his news team, at left, make headlines when their newscast on cable's new Global News Network zooms to first place in the ratings.
8. NEWSAM_140201_058.JPG: The Real Story: In the 1960s and '70s, the "Big Three" networks dominated TV news. But in the 1980s, cable television transformed the news business with round-the-clock coverage that eventually went global. TV's first 24-hour news outlet was CNN, launched in 1980. Today, multiple cable news networks compete with broadcast TV and the Internet for viewers' attention. Husband-and-wife team Dave Walker and Lois Hart were CNN's first anchors in 1980.
9. NEWSAM_140201_070.JPG: The Network Anchor "I have one great passion that lives deep within my loins, like a flaming golden hawk; To one day become a network anchor." -- Ron Burgundy For more than 60 years, the network anchor has represented the authority and credibility of television news. More than just newsreaders, anchors are seasoned journalists who shape and deliver the day's top stories. In the 1960s and 1970s, when only three broadcast networks dominated television, anchors were at the peak of their poewr. In 1972, "CBS Evening News" anchor Walter Cronkite was voted "the most trusted man in America." Today, network anchors compete with cable channels and internet news sites, and their audiences are less than half the size they used to be. Still, during times of crisis or uncertainty, the anchor is a trusted source. During the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the marathon high-wire work of Tom Brokaw, Peter Jennings, Dan Rather and Aaron Brown helped inform and calm a terrified nation. Women Network Anchors: The anchor chair is no longer reserved for men only. In 1976, Barbara Walters became the first woman to co-anchor a network evening newscast. In 2010, two of the "Big Three" network newscasts were anchored by Diane Sawyer and Katie Couric. IN 2013, PBS's Gwen Ifill and Judy Woodruff made history as the first female co-anchor team of a network news broadcast.
10. NEWSAM_140201_076.JPG: Happy News Makes Happy Viewers: Water-skiing squirrels and the birth of a panda were big news for the Channel 4 news team. Reporter Veronica Corningstone balked at covering a cat fashion show, calling it a "baloney" assignment. But when panda Ling Wong was about to give birth, Veronica raced to the zoo to nab the best camera position, only to become part of the story when a rival anchor showed her into the Kodiak bear den. Animal stories and fluffy features gave Ron and Veronica a chance to show a softer side. After Veronica reported a story about a bear that destroyed a Fotomat, Ron quipped, "Apparently, he wasn't too happy with his color prints."
11. NEWSAM_140201_078.JPG: A story about lion taming turned dangerous when a lion attacked Cleveland reporter Del Donahoo at an Elyria, Ohio, shopping mall.
12. NEWSAM_140201_084.JPG: WFTV-TV in Orlando, Fla., caused a media splash in 1979 with a story on Twiggy, the water-skiing squirrel.
13. NEWSAM_140201_087.JPG: Microphone Flags: Rival TV news anchors, including a public television anchor played by Tim Robbins, left, used these microphone flags to identify their stations while reporting from the zoo.
14. NEWSAM_140201_093.JPG: The Real Story: Twiggy, the water-skiing squirrel, became a broadcast TV sensation in 1979 when WFTV-TV in Orlando, Fla., filmed her skiing on popsicle sticks attached to a motorized toy boat. TV newscasts in the 1970s injected heavy doses of upbeat human-interest stories and animal features into their reports, at the urging of ratings-savvy news consultants. At Chicago's WLS-TV, reporter Frank Mathie "interviewed" a chimpanzee and wrestled a bear. At KNXT-TV in Los Angeles, a reporter wearing a wet suit plunged into the water to "interview" a porpoise. Animal stories were not without their risks: WKYC-TV reporter Del Donahoo got 48 stitched after he was mauled by a lion while covering a lion-taming act near Cleveland.
15. NEWSAM_140201_096.JPG: Your Friendly Local News Team: In "Anchorman," Ron Burgundy, roving reporter Brian Fantana, sports anchor Champ Kind and weatherman Brick Tamland are a team on and off the air. They toss a football during the newscast, trade insults with rival news teams, making a splash at pool parties and shop for suits together. On-air promos tout their togetherness. In a sensitive moment, their conversation turns to love, and they harmonize a cappella on "Afternoon Delight."
16. NEWSAM_140201_119.JPG: In New York, WABC-TV reporter Geraldo Rivera stood out from other reporters for his long hair, open collars and bell-bottomed slacks. He went on to become an award-winning investigative reporter and talk show host. WPLG-TV anchor Ron Hunter, seen here with fellow anchor Ann Bishop, was voted Miami's sexiest man in 1976 for his good looks and stylist clothes.
17. NEWSAM_140201_127.JPG: 400,000 New Yorkers have already switched to Channel 7 Eyewitness News. Some of them must have come from Channel 4. This 1970 ad for WABC-TV's Eyewitness News in New York poked fun at rival WNBC-TV. At the time, the two stations vied for first place in the ratings.
18. NEWSAM_140201_131.JPG: From "news you can use" to sensational stories about killers, local TV stations ran ads like these from Hartford, Conn.'s WFSB-TV and Los Angeles's KABC-TV to boost ratings for their newscasts.
19. NEWSAM_140201_138.JPG: Jerry's out to lose 100,000 pounds. To lure viewers, Baltimore's WJZ-TV promoted the station's weight-loss campaign with Jerry Turner and Maria Broom.
20. NEWSAM_140201_150.JPG: The Battle for ratings: San Diego's rival news teams -- armed with switchblades, whips and hand grenades -- square off in a rumble over ratings. "Before we do this, let's go over the ground rules," says image-conscious Ron Burgundy. "Rule No. 1: No touching of the hair or face. And that's it." All sides come out swinging. The pip-smoking public television anchor cuts off Channel 2 anchor Frank Vitchard's arm. Before police arrive to break up the fight. Channel 4's mild-mannered weatherman Brick Tamland kills a competitor with a trident. Ron sums it up: "Boy, that escalated quickly."
21. NEWSAM_140201_154.JPG: Award-Winning Ron: Ron Burgundy's surrounds himself with promotional posters and awards, a sign of his high self-regard.
22. NEWSAM_140201_164.JPG: Chemistry Between Co-Anchors: Veronica Corningstone vows she will never date a co-worker and only agrees to let Ron Burgundy, squire her around town as "one professional helping another professional." But romance blossoms when Ron shows her his skills on the jazz flute in a local nightclub. In an intimate moment, Ron and Veronica discover they share the same passion -- to be a network anchor. When Veronica is promoted to co-anchor, Ron is furious, and the former lovers become rivals. On camera, they are smiling and friendly. Off camera, their banter turns bitter.
23. NEWSAM_140201_168.JPG: Anchorman Ron Burgundy Will Ferrell Rowdy biker bars go silent when Ron Burgundy is on the air, and a baby's first words aren't "mama" or "papa" but "Ron Bugundy." With the swagger that only a top-rated news anchor can muster, Ron smokes, swills scotch and berates his makeup woman -- "Audrey! I look like hell, I got bags under my eyes!" -- seconds before airtime. A five-time local Emmy Award winner, he will read anything that appears on his teleprompter. Ron is catnip to women -- especially when he plays his jazz flute -- but he goes home along most nights to his faithful dog, Baxter.
24. NEWSAM_140201_184.JPG: On women in the newsroom: "I will have you know that I have more talent and more intelligence in my little finger that you do in your entire body, sir!"
25. NEWSAM_140201_189.JPG: Report Veronica Corningstone Christina Applegate Smart and ambitious, Veronica Corningstone knows the newsroom is a man's world, but she still dreams of being a network anchor. She challenges her colleagues' sexist behavior and fights for better stories than cat fashion shows and meatloaf recipes. But Veronica is not above sabotaging Ron Burgundy's teleprompter to take his place as Channel 4's lead anchor.
26. NEWSAM_140201_193.JPG: On women in the newsroom: "It is anchorman, not anchorlady! And that is a scientific fact!"
27. NEWSAM_140201_196.JPG: Sports Anchor Champ Kind David Koechner A macho chauvinist in a ten-gallon hat and cowboy boots, Champ Kind ogles and makes passes at new reporter Veronica Corningstone. Hi signature catchphrase is "Whammy!," which he uses to threaten Veronica during her first time in the anchor chair: "One slip and you're gone -- whammy!" When Ron Burgundy falls for Veronica, Champ reveals his true feelings -- for Ron.
28. NEWSAM_140201_198.JPG: On women in the newsroom: "I don't know what we're yelling about!"
29. NEWSAM_140201_201.JPG: Weatherman Brick Tamland Steve Carell With an IQ of 48, its understandable why Brick Tamland confuses the Midwest with the Middle East on his weather map. The dimwitted Brick doesn't understand why his colleagues are angry about the arrival of Veronica Corningstone, but fears that her hormones will attract bears to the newsroom. When talk turns to love, he is equally clueless, confessing, "I love lamp." Brick seems easygoing, until he plunges a trident into a rival's chest during a rumble with local news teams.
30. NEWSAM_140201_206.JPG: Reporter Brian Fantana Paul Rudd Brian Fantana is covering the top story of the summer: the impending birth of a baby panda at the zoo. Fearless Fantana demands an interview with the bear: "But they said, 'Nope you can't do that. He's a live bear. He will literally rip your face off." Brian brags that he brings style to the Channel 4 news team and has a way with the ladies. His secret weapon is his cabinet of colognes, featuring Sex Panther by Odeon. "It's made with bits of real panther so you know it's good," he says. "They've done studies, you know. Sixty percent of the time, it works every time."
31. NEWSAM_140201_209.JPG: On women in the newsroom: "I love the ladies. I mean they rev my engine, but they don't belong in the newsroom."
