3. Oh, he'll be on TV more now than ever. I heard Keith saying he'll be working
a lot with NBC network news.

13. I only started watching him like 6 months ago or less.
I have mostly enjoyed his show, but when he had one particular rethug shill whose name escapes me, I had to turn him off. But I can't say I am sad to see him go because I am beyond thrilled that Rachel is coming on board!!!!

18. was it that Brad guy?
Ew. I couldn't bear to look at his smug face, and he didn't contribute anything to any discussion, the way even a blowhard like Pat Buchanan often does... that Brad guy just said stupid things that were patently untrue. Honestly, there were times I didn't watch the show because I couldn't stand him, and it sounds like you did the same thing I did. I wonder whether it was just a few of us who felt that way, or whether the show's ratings suffered because of him.

I'll miss "Verdict"--Dan did a good job with the Siegelman case. And he's kinda cute, too.

19. YESSS!!!!! I hated him so much!!!!
I had just really started getting into Abrams' show, and then when I would see Brad, I would change the channel. That guy turned my stomach!

21. I don't get it either. Why run a KO repeat when you could have moved Abrams to 10 p.m.

26. While I agree I'd like to see Abrams
Edited on Fri Aug-22-08 05:46 PM by polmaven
stay on the air someplace, NOT AT 10:00! I am often not home until after 9:00, and I am NOT able to stay awake until 1:00 for the midnight re-run they used to have for KO. 10:00 is PERFECT for THIS KO fan.

15. His last comment
was that he has now had THREE cancelled MSNBC shows. I think he'll be back.

After all, who are they going to replace Gregory with after the election?

And I'll bet anything (since he's going to Denver) that he'll have something like the "After Hours" he had during primary election nights.

25. I would have prefered that Rachel got Tweety's slot
Rachel - KO - Abrams would have made a powerful night and a new direction for MSM... I mean MSNBC.
