    Good news magazine show
    "A CURRENT AFFAIR," in my opinion, is a good news magazine show. I enjoyed seeing Maureen O'Boyle as the main anchor. There are many reasons why I said that. Also, I had no idea that Maury Povich was a reporter anchor on this show before his present work on his hit daytime talk show. If you ask me, it seems that nobody stays with a TV show throughout its entire run anymore. Still, I enjoyed hearing about what's happening in the world. The only thing I didn't like hearing about was when someone had been murdered or gone missing. Now, in conclusion, if some network ever bring this show back, I highly recommend it to all you die-hard news magazine fans. You will really enjoy it.
