I'll honestly miss this guy, he was about the only thing saving local TV news from being a complete joke.

That's too bad he's retiring. He is good. San Francisco Commercial Real Estate

NOOOO! Dennis Richmond is the embodiment of gravitas. News needs him. I was addicted to watching Dennis when I lived in SF. I still remember when he said the words "freak dancing" during a broadcast. It was like the voice of God declaring, "THERE WILL BE NO FREAK DANCING IN PLEASANTON." Oh, it was a beautiful moment.

Ooh! I want to snag an invite to his retirement party; it'll be just like Olde San Francisco there. Just the right setting for an episode of Murder, She Wrote...the jealous coworker finally being promoted to replace Dennis; our Mayor's girlfriend as one of Jessica's endless stream of nieces/nephews; Jessica's old college friend, Nan McEvoy, tossing back the schnaps...

One source has told me he walks with a permanent limp. Another source has told me Dennis Richmond has turned his limp into a total pimp swagger. He will be missed.

Aw, man... Richmond is my favorite anchor ever. Plus, who else could get a line like this in their Wikipedia article; "He is characterized by his omnipresent mustache and deep rich voice" Oh, *baby*

They'll probably replace him with some doughey, roundfaced spoiled white boy from Orange County who drives a 350Z and hits on my girlfriend at Matrix.

Man I'm really gonna miss Dennis Richmond. So many nights tuning in at 10, totally stoned, and his TV presence always hooks me in. It's like we're on the same wavelength. "John, this is Dennis Richmond. I have some important information I think you should listen to.""Ok man, I'm totally here with you."And his cast of female co-anchors. The man has an Ike Turner like control over them. His pimp hand is always strong. I think Elaine Corral is just now coming out of hiding since leaving Dennis KTVU.

I was in an American History class at UCLA and they showed stock footage of Harvey Milk's murder. Dennis Richmond's fro was bangin and more than a few kids yelled his name. I've also seen him at Chinese new year and he is a super pimp.

"Dennis was a rare TV news anchor in that he was actually good. He was serious and treated the news seriously-..." WAS, don't you mean IS??
