I am a big fan of Ed Schultz, but I am excited for Chris Hayes' new show in primetime tonight! He brings a new depth of knowledge and understanding of the political process and ideologies to the MSNBC primetime line-up, and I know he has many other fans here on DU as well! His weekend show "UP" had such a high amount of stimulative discussion, and I only hope that his new show has the same!

(2,347 posts)Does anyone know? Was it really voluntary on his part or was something else going on?
As for Chris, I wish him well. But labor is already poorly represented. We desperately need someone to get their story out, and Ed was the only one. Maybe Chris will prove himself to be just as good, but I don't know how he could, quite honestly.

(103,856 posts)I will miss the passion that Ed had, and the attention he paid to labor. Hopefully Chris will stay out of the "weeds" and get a focus on his new show. He does not have 2 hours to meander along.

(63,771 posts)It's not his fault and anyway, he is a really good Dem and progressive. Very liberal. His dad was a union member and big supporter and so was Chris. He has good credentials.
You should at least give him the benefit of the doubt before rejecting him...

(8,244 posts)I hope he covers the same topics that were on the weekend show. For me it's the best show on MSNBC.
Ed Shultz was pretty good and will still be good at his new time. Which I heard he requested.

But I'm not one of those "live or die with Ed" guys.

(8,244 posts)I think he just wanted to go to weekends to spend more time with his family. Somebody said his wife had cancer.
I'm always up for a good conspiracy theory, but I can't see one here. Unless maybe MSNBC wants an excuse to kill the Chris Hayes show. So they move it to nights where they expect it to get worse ratings so they have an excuse to kill it. To be honest I don't own a TV so it doesn't really affect me.
PS. Alot of people seem to like Maddow so I can't see any reason they won't love the Chris Hayes show. I hope everyone will give it a chance.

(37,648 posts)This may be an opportunity to quit watching so much political talk show stuff.
Frasier is on Hallmark for a couple of hours. And there are other things to watch, when the Frasier runs end.
Not crazy about Hayes. Don't dislike him. But I watched his weekend program once and changed the channel. He doesn't interest me.

(30,540 posts)it's actually an addiction. I'm hoping this is a way of breaking free. I want to reclaim my life and do/watch other things. After Al I switching off MSNBC.
Honeycombe8
(37,648 posts)because I'm watching all those political talk shows! And then I watch Morning Joe, which is also mainly political.
Hoping I can return to the land of the living.

(30,540 posts)mistake IMO. Chris just doesn't hold my attention, this is not must see TV for me the way ED was.
