1. This is the line-up today?

If it is, WOW. I'm happy because I will have my tele on MSNBC up until midnight. I'm not so keen on that prison pap.

Thanks for the list, aaaaaa5a!

6. Thanks! I'll be switching over to CurrentTV then!

I LOVE K.O. and I was a little disappointed he didn't host the election coverage the last time. Woohooooo! My Saturday can't be better!

3. I know! I tuned in late to try to catch Chris Hayes, and there was Alex somebody --

I checked the listings and see an "Andrea Mitchell Reports" coming up, and wondered -- are these reruns?

This is really GREAT.

We need to contact MSNBC and let them know it's appreciated and that we ARE watching!

5. It's Just For Primary Coverage...

...and they have more advertising sold for this than running their usual prison shows. I'm sure they'll be back next week. Oh joy!

8. I'm hoping that will slowly change.

They now have Chris Hayes for 2 hours in the morning. (And it might be the best cable news show in TV.)

And starting Feb. 4th, Melissa Harris Perry will have her own show which will follow Hayes on Saturday and Sunday morning. I was actually disappointed in this. I wanted more news programming in prime-time on Sat/Sun. But at least it is a start.

[KharmaTrain]

12. I Wish They'd Repeat Chris Hayes...

Yes, his show is excelent. Fortunately I am up most Saturday and Sunday mornings to watch but there's so much in each program, it's worth a second watch...also to give it exposure to others who prefer to sleep in.

Unfortunately the prison shows rate higher than the news shows still and that is what matters to the suits who run the network.

7. Good to have a break from the nonsensical weekend "reality criminality" crap. n/t

9. I think Rachel made a joke about Lockdown once

[winstars]

11. Last night she ended her show "We will be here tomorrow night with...

election coverage but right now you are going to prison!!!" Or something very close to that. LOL

10. Of course they know news happens on weekends

that's when white teenagers go missing and babies are stolen from their homes.

13. I have almost given up on MSNBC

just because of the crap they throw at us on the weekends. How much of the same prison crap can people take?
