Fuzz Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 http://www.nypost.com/seven/05052009/tv/gm...park_167626.htmAFTER seven years, "Good Morning America" is ditching Bryant Park for the greener pastures of Central Park.This year's "Good Morning America" summer concert series, which kicks off with punk act Green Day May 22, is making the move to Rumsey Playfield, where the Central Park SummerStage concert series is traditionally held.Besides the caché of broadcasting live from the most famous park in the world, the move made good economic sense for the network. "GMA" can use the concert set-up that already exists, instead of having to build a stage and tear it down every week, which was " a lot of work and expensive," says "GMA" senior executive producer Jim Murphy.Other segments of "GMA" -- like grilling and fashion -- will be also be relocated to the park, so they'll be able to take advantage of the weather and the setting.While competitor "Today's" concert pop-act line-up skews younger, "GMA" is going with a range of acts from old-school R&B (Lionel Richie) and punk, to pop (Kelly Clarkson) and country (Reba McEntire).The entrance to Rumsey Playfield is on 69th Street and Fifth Avenue. Audiences are advised to arrive by 6 a.m. Taping runs from 7 to 9 a.m.May 22: Green DayMay 29: Lionel RichieJune 5: John LegendJune 12: Jonas BrothersJune 19: Jamie FoxxJune 26: Broadway's "HAIR"July 3: Brad PaisleyJuly 10: Queen LatifahJuly 31: Kelly ClarksonAug. 14: Kenny ChesneyAug. 21: Reba McEntire

*withoutadoubt* Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 Oh, and I just thought about it - my kids are off from school that day, so this will soooo work out for me!! Yay!!!!
SOMERTEN Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 Can someone exlpain what this is? Being a Brit I've never seen it. Is it breakfast television or something?Will it be a concert that can be downloaded etc?'Other segments of "GMA" -- like grilling and fashion -- will be also be relocated to the park, so they'll be able to take advantage of the weather and the setting'.Would be good to see Green Day grilling the 'fashionable' Jonas Brothers... Mike get out your BBQ sweetheart!

Mike get out your BBQ sweetheart!Haha! That would be a sight to see!! Good Morning America is a national morning program in the US. It's a 2 hour program running weekday mornings 7-9am (live EST at least, not sure if it's taped and shown later in other time zones) They do 'segments' from news to weather to entertainment shizz. They have this Summer Concert Series thingy where they have a musical guest every Friday, and they play songs the last hour of the show. I've had friends who have gone to this before when a band their kid likes is playing - you have to get there at like 3-4 am in order to get close to the stage. It's free, too. And that was at Bryant Park - cannot imagine how awesome it's gonna be in Central Park.Cheryl...this is going to be a crazy, GD filled week for you! OMFG, you are so NOT kidding!!! I won't miss this one, tho. So glad school is over for me next week! I NEVER thought they would do GMA! Haha - I am getting the hysteria feeling back again...*takes deep breath* If I have to go myself, I will. I will drag Samantha up at 3 am and drag her ass if I have to, hehe.
**kookai** Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 I hate GMA, never understood why Australia gets the show..... hope someone rips us a video and post it here.
deathtofalsesushi Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 Too bad they miss Lionel Richie by a week. He's a badass...and a Green Day fan, I think I read that somewhere
Blu Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 I hate GMA, never understood why Australia gets the show..... hope someone rips us a video and post it here.What does GMA have to do with Australia? It's "Good Morning America."I'll have to set my TiVo to record this so I can watch it when I go home.
RebelofSuburbia Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 that would be a great way to start of your morning, seeing green day live

Now that I think of it, it's a silly question - that would be way too early to be shown live. And heh, my chance to make a fool of myself on national tv...
