Tyndall Report is no fan of demographically targeted feature series so we were relieved to see the back of NBC's The Secret to her Success, its female-oriented four-parter produced in collaboration with the network's iVillage Website. Male viewers did not even need to read the title to feel excluded--the shockingly stereotypical pink logo was enough. This series was News You Can Use with such a vengeance that its proper place was on NBC's now-four-hour Today rather than in the limited newshole of a half-hour newscast. The first and fourth entries were the most insufferable: Monday, in-house physician Nancy Snyderman listed personal health tips; today CNBC's Sue Herera did the same for personal finance. By comparison, Tuesday's offering on flextime scheduling at work from Rehema Ellis was somewhat enlightening and Wednesday's paean to friendship from Ann Curry had the virtue of pure frivolity.
