Hmmmm...we just weren't a large enough market for him? Aside from his Ted Baxter delivery, Kris just wasn't a warm fuzzy and came across quite distant. His smile was contrived and no matter who they paired him with, Kris just didn't connect. While some say it was the curse of ABC15, Nurse Jeff and I know he would have met the same fate on any other Valley station. BTW...quaint town you have out there. Those windmills only add to the ugliness of driving between SoCal and Phoenix.
