Final Thoughts:
At the time of this writing the New Year is about 11 hours old on the West Coast and today we saw Cody team up with Marianne at the desk with Courtney doing some traffic and Audrey doing news. We also saw Sean report from Old Sacramento where only 10 people out of an estimated 20K were cited and/or arrested at last nights event making it a truly fun time for all those who attended and Mark took the Rivers Edge Hangover Challenge but fell short.

In the 6am hour as I previously mentioned Mark covered the 3rd Annual Rivers Edge Cafe Hangover Challenge with 4 different viewers. Marianne had our Daily Joe, Courtney did a Check this out.... Super Fruit... Pichuberry.. Apparently this fruit has a nice smell but the taste is not a favorite. Cody talked about a study that says people who have Smart Phones are smarter than those who may not, so Cody put Marianne to the test with the Smart Phone quiz.

In the 7am hour Mark completed the challenge and normally the winner of any food challenge this one Mark fell short giving it to a local viewer.who had to eat 3lbs of food in 30 minutes or less. Mark also gave his top 10 2013 Movies and who he thinks will take home the Oscar.. See the complete list below but follow Mark on Twitter at @tvmarksallen and @markatthemovies for more information and how you can win fabulous prizes throughout the New Year and make sure you DVR Mark at the Movies this Friday at 6am/9am EST for a Special Edition of the show on Reelz Channel with an old friend of Good Day Sacramento Co-hosting with Mark. (YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS IT) If you don't have ReelzChannel the show will air on #CW31 at 130/11pm on Sunday. Courtney had an issue with her breakfast during breaks and her sad face. Good Day Sacramento did show one of the BEST of Moments of the show when Toots and Mark tapped dance to Puttin on the Ritz.

In the 8am hour Mark took the plunge... The Polar Bear Plunge. Courtney was the music director today to play the movie edition of Court's Tunes. Marianne talked about a new edition of American Girl Doll just released today.Marianne and Cody talked to the creator of the Harley Hog Ride taking place today.

In the final hour of Good Day Sacramento for the first show of the year Marianne and Cody ran the #9amtopic. Cody tasted the food from A & K BBQ which was the feature this week on Dishin with Tina. I'm pretty sure Cody did not need any extra incentive to be the official taste tester today... This food looked so good you could almost smell the goodness through the screen. Courtney got her walk on with the Sacramento Walking Sticks Walking Club who are in their 40th year of walking this year, Mark continued to report from the Polar Plunge and as a staple of Wednesday's Tina was Dishin with Tina. You can see these segments on Sunday's in the 8/10am hour of Good Day Sacramento Weekend and Wednesday in the 9am hour of Good Day Sacramento.

That concludes the Good Day Sacramento New Years Day show... I hope you stick around to look back at some highlights from Today in the News from the previous year. Also remember tomorrow may not have an entry for Today in the News but if it does it will be a Good Day Sacramento exclusive and may be late getting posted.

Mark S. Allen's Top 10 Movies of 2013: 10 #nebraska 9 #despicableme2 8 #warmbodies 7#thisistheend 6 #startrekintodarkness 5#savingmrbanks 4 #frozen 3 #gravity 2#wolfofwallstreet and now...drum roll.... 1#12yearsaslave It is relentless and uncomfortable and brutal beyond words; however, the story was incredible and brought to the screen with utter perfection. Chiwetel Ejiofer, who also starred in my favorite film of 2003 Love Actually, will win this years #criticschoice and #Oscar and everything between. I know my list is all over the place. I'm really just a movie junkie, but every now and then I have to pull up to the adults table with my movie critic pants on and respectfully praise a masterpiece. This is one indeed. #ChiwetelEjiofor
