4. This just means that they've run out of those kinds of shows.
So while they wait for the next batch to be produced, they'll up their political coverage.

After November, they'll go right back to it.

7. I'm never watching one second of that crap! I thought ratings were supposed to be important to TV
people? No? Do people watch that crap?

11. Ratings are the only reason Olbermann's still on the air.

If people stop watching, he's gone. Because sponsors won't pay for the show. Same thing with the prison complex stuff. MSNBC found a product that attracted a certain type of viewer. Advertisers lined up to buy those eyes.

If enough eyes stopped watching the prison stuff because it was all repetitive, MSNBC probably pulled it to produce a new set.

14. I'd like for them to take a new tally. Are all the guards tuned in? What are they 1/2 the
population these days? Ack

5. America's Prisons are the New Plantations

MSNBC must realize that Amerika wants to make sure all the bad people are locked up.

Not one person behind bars today has killed as many people as GWB and the only bars that he sees are the one's he drinks in.

Pleeeeese tell me these propaganda tabloids made for tv will be off the air and I can see my Keith.:bounce:

6. I Love the Doc Block
MSNBC wouldn't be the same without the inmates of San Quenten and those scary chicks at the Tennessee Prison for Women.

12. Nah they just bumped them back 1 hour
to see with summer coming on and the hot political season if they can milk more ratings out of their most popular show Countdown at 10PM EDT instead of wasting it at midnight.

16. I always watched Keith at midnight
I was plenty pissed to turn it on and see prison stuff instead. That was my normal time to watch him. Was he back tonite? He just disappeared in the middle of the broadcast Friday night.

13. I highly doubt it.
Those shows are intended to show us how lucky we are to be "free", while the government spies on us and the police get more and more power.

17. No Keith on the West Coast at 9 any more!
7's too early, 11's too late. No more Keith for me - I'm very sad.

18. nah, it didn't happen......
we need to keep writing MSNBC and request they can the crap.....and put David Gregory on at a time that doesn't conflict with Brian Williams newscast.....I'd rather watch him at 10 and rerun Keith at 11. How about you folks?

21. Hopefully he will be jailed once Queen Hillary takes the throne.
:sarcasm: In case any Obamamaniacs thought that was serious.
