Who did you choose? Lawrence O (MSNBC) or Keith O (CurrenTV)?

[apples and oranges]

I hate that they're up against each other for both the 8 and 11 o'clock hours. I like Keith, but I don't feel right turning my back on Lawrence O. His show is really good now. All throughout the show, however, there were ads for Keith O's show.

[Vincardog]

1. Keith O (CurrenTV) I can TIVO

[Autumn]

2. CurrenTV has Keith O

for me, that's the one.

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. keith, and at 8 local, Hartman

[NYC_SKP]

4. Are also up against Daily Show and Colbert for me.

:banghead:

``

[SoCalDem]

14. TDS repeats multiple times too

[Rhiannon12866]

50. And KO repeats several times.

That's when I usually manage to catch him - and Rachel. :hi:

I missed his first show, so I stayed up and watched one of the repeats, at 7 o'clock in the morning... :hangover: :rofl:

[alsame]

5. Keith. nt

[HubertHeaver]

6. I take both.

I record Keith, watch Lawrence live.

[The_Casual_Observer]

7. Keith O for sure.

[City Lights]

8. Keith.

I like both, but have been going with Keith since he's back on. Also, after learning that Beady-Eyed Joe was given veto power over Keith's guest lists, I'm kinda pissed at MSNBC.

[calimary]

9. Keith.

We go back later and catch up with Lawrence and the others - if we feel like it. We record it. Lawrence repeats. I'd rather watch Keith first. Usually if we have to choose (mainly because it's getting late in the evening) we go with Rachel Maddow as "must-watch."

[savannah43]

10. Keith. I can't wait to see the numbers.

[RKP5637]

11. KO

[SoCalDem]

12. BOTH

We have two dvrs..so we record both. then zoom through commercials:)

[Kaleva]

13. Lawrence O is the correct answer.

[Demonaut]

15. Lawrence has improved so much that I DVR both

[KittyWampus]

16. O'Donnell forgot more about politics than Keith will ever know.

[elleng]

24. That is TRUE!

Watching The West Wing (from netflix) regularly, and he's the man!!!

[apples and oranges]

38. Best answer. KO is a sports commentator, first and foremost

I'm sure he'll improve with time, but LO has decades of knowledge informing his topics.

[Johonny]

45. I have to say I like O'Donnell

Wish he replaced Tweety instead of KO. But since I don't get Current TV it's an easy choice.

[RevStPatrick]

17. Neither...

They're both a waste of precious time!

[Ganja Ninja]

18. I record both. n/t

[truebrit71]

19. Keith Olbermann hands down. I stopped watching MSRNComcast the day they fired him...

..Larry is too middle of the road for me on many issues anyway...

[Manifestor_of_Light]

43. Larry says he's a socialist.

:shrug:

[truebrit71]

44. He can call himself whatever he likes...

...he's still too centrist for my tastes...

[Wait Wut]

20. Can't get KO.

Like them both, but lean towards Lawrence. I don't like to be yelled at or lectured. Keith has that habit.

[elleng]

23. Here's Keith, if you decide to try.

[Wait Wut]

35. Thanks.

I don't watch TV on my computer. I've sent an email to my cable company requesting Current. Doubt they'll listen. This is Arizona. :eyes:

[elleng]

21. Both,

Keith here, http://ready-tv.com/?p=109

Lawrence there, later, or vice versa.

[Iggo]

22. Both. Live TV's for sports. (n/t)

[ladjf]

25. Keith, of course. nt

[Robbins]

26. Keith

There had been many nights I didn't any cable news without him on.Now Countdown again Is must see TV.If there Is night there Is actully something decent on Network I will watch an encore of COuntdown.But considering all the reality crap,and endless Procual
shows(CSI,NCIS,Law and Order,and their similar shows) that doesn't happen much.

I will be watching COuntdown's covergae of the President's speach tonight.I will largely turn back to MSNBC after Countdown Is done
for Rachel.But the best thing for us all would be when Rachel and Lawrence's contracts are up they join Keith on Current.

Hearing about how MSNBC let's Scarbeough dictate who can be on the shows Is real Enlightment.Plus on COuntdown now we don't have to worry about having to listen to Buchanan and Michael Steele as Anaylists.Funny how Democrats are never hired as analyists.

[Samantha]

46. I watched Keith Olbermann because I want his ratings to zoom

straight up. Don't get me wrong, I have admired Lawrence O'Donnell for a long time. All of the positive things people say about him in this thread are true. But he too had a misfire incident and was banned from appearing on cable for a long time. I was depressed about this. Eventually, McLaughlin opened the door and let him back in. But I have watched the man in action for a long time, and I can tell you this: he is on restraints. The unencumbered Lawrence O'Donnell is a person in a category not currently depicted on MSNBC. This is a careful Lawrence O'Donnell.

So when answering the question whose profits do I want to promote: on the right hand, we have COMCAST (I despise this Corporation); on the left-hand, I personally see Al Gore. I cannot thank Al Gore enough for the contributions he has made to this society, and I do know Current is a joint venture, but really, it is a no-contest as to who I want to get the ratings -- Current TV.

And yes, it would be great if Lawrence joined Current as well as Rachel. I don't know if they are as big a risk-taker as that would require, but it would make Current a lot closer to perfect in line-up. Without them, it is still a contest.

Keith Olbermann himself waded into territory I have seen no other commentator take on. He is a man of huge personal integrity and self-sacrifice. We need people in this vein, and the only way we will get them is to support the unshackling of Opinion Commentary and the Real News.

With all that said, I did turn on Lawrence at 11:00. Tonight at 8, I will watch Keith Olbermann (and I can't wait).

[kentuck]

27. The correct answer is both.

They are both very good .

[grasswire]

28. KO

I will do everything I can to make his Current endeavors a success.

[AtomicKitten]

29. I don't have to choose. I DVR both.

[shraby]

30. Watched Lawence O. on tv and caught Olbermann later on

the net.

[Tippy]

31. Keith.....

[mitchtv]

32. I chose KO

Lawrence is OK, but I prefer Keith

[nutsnberries]

33. Keith ~nt

[patrice]

34. Decidedly, LO for the courage to declare that he is a Socialist. Does KO have that courage?

Or should he provide us, instead, with his critique of Socialism?

[Uncle Joe]

36. Current and Keith.

Thanks for the thread, apples and oranges.

[EC]

37. Didn't have to chose

they are both on at multiple times, so I watched both...

[Little Star]

39. Current TV or MSNBC makes the choice easy. I want....

Current TV to be the UNfox cable channel. MSNBC will never be anything other than corporate. Everyone should consider helping Keith and Al build a liberal/progressive cable channel. jmho.

[housewolf]

40. First night I watched Keith real time, 2nd night Lawrence

Both repeat, and I can record one or the other (or both) for later viewing

I like and admire Keith and his how A LOT. And there are times when I just LOVE Lawrence O'Donnell

[bigwillq]

41. I haven't watched the Current TV show yet

but I've always liked Keith better than Lawrence. I really don't like Lawrence. So I don't watch him.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

42. Keith.

[mochajava666]

47. Keith over Lawrence

Still watch Rachael, and listen to Big Eddie on the radio.

[Leontius]

48. O'Donnell by far is better than Olberman night in night out

KO had his moments and I loved worst person but LO's show is just better all around.

[maryallen]

49. Keith O for me.

He's the best in the business, in my opinion.
His timing is superb. Notice how he paces himself. He gets twice the information into his program than any of his competitors. Now, consider David Gregory ... Diane Sawyer ... Katie Couric ... I can't remember anything memorable by any of them.
