Hey MSNBC! It's only six o'clock here on the west coast!

[senseandsensibility]

Already gone to Lockup? Where's Rachel? No wonder their ratings are down the tubes.

[madaboutharry]

1. Can you believe it?

They are asleep at the wheel.

[senseandsensibility]

3. Do you think it's a mistake?

I think, as the poster below does, that they can't be bothered to hire a sub host. But who knows? Either explanation shows a lack of respect for their viewers. No wonder I almost never watch anymore.

[Raine]

2. Rachel is taking a long weekend off, I guess MSNBC didn't want the expense of

bringing in a guest host.

[Bluenorthwest]

16. My guess is that Maddow's contract does not allow them to use a guest host

This is my guess only because it is what I'd want out of that company, who has replaced vacationing hosts with their 'guest' unceremoniously in the past. They fire like Zimmerman after happy hour. I am sure their on air talent feels little security, remember Maddow was first there to sub for Keith, who was fired....

[senseandsensibility]

18. I think I remember Melissa Harris Perry subbing for her

in the past? That's when I first became aquainted with MHP.

[KharmaTrain]

19. She Has Guest Hosts Regularlly...

...that's how Chris Hayes got his start...filling in for Rachel that led to them giving him the Saturday show. Lately Ezra Klein fills in for her. She's she is "sacked" it is because of poor ratings and then MSNBC would be forced to pay her for the duration of her contract. If the network had some sinister agenda it would have never ventured to put a lesbian progressive as host in prime time and given a lot of exposure covering elections and special events. Rachel is one of the hardest working journalists in the corporate media world and a breath of fresh air...I hope she's enjoying a very well deserved and relaxing long weekend...

[Raine]

20. No, Ezra Klien subbed for her yesterday but apparently they didn't want to. pay him for

another day when they could put on Lock Up.

[neverforget]

4. MSNBC needs to get some better programming when hosts go on vacation.

[Old Codger]

5. I have

Pretty much dropped them as a source to watch between the crap they run on weekends and this tonight and the republican ads to kill the IRS it is not worth the time to try to get anything decent out of it... Have to change channels when the crap ads come on and then remember to go back to the show.. pretty much a waste of time anymore..IMHO

[senseandsensibility]

9. Constant Walmart ads on here in California

It makes it hard to watch. Who knew that Walmart is a great employer and supports local farmers?

[quinnox]

6. welp, then get ready for a marathon of "lock up"!

at least there is that.

[senseandsensibility]

7. Well, usually there is a marathon of lockup on Fridays, but they didn't have to

start an hour earlier when I was still home. They are really getting to be a second rare network. The lockup thing is ridiculous even when they don't start it an hour early with no explanation. Say what you will about CNN, but I can't see them doing anything this amateur.

[Go Vols]

10. I turned it when lockup came on

I don't think glamorizing that we imprison more of our citizens per capita than any country on Earth is a good thing.

[ruffburr]

8. I think com-cast has bought them out, anyone know?

[pinboy3niner]

11. But I had to wait ALL day for Lockup!1!!

[senseandsensibility]

13. Aren't you mad that it started an hour early

with no warning? You probably missed the first episode. And it was from 2007, too.

[Chipper Chat]

12. I ate early and finished the dirty dishes by 8:50

so I could watch Rachel; she is always extra-good on Fridays. I went to bathroom to **%^&$*#(@ and hopped out at 8:59 only to hear Chris saying "I never thought I would say this but..stay tuned for prison." I thought he was joking. Crap - this really pissed me off.

[femmocrat]

14. I was so pissed.

Don't they know we have nothing else to watch! LOL

[madaboutharry]

15. You just cracked me up!

That was funny!

[flamingdem]

17. CNN has a special about the royal couple

kind of Monty Python like with the huffy accents

[NuclearDem]

21. I know, what the fuck?

This is making me really...
