The new ED SHOW about to start on MSNBC

[flamingdem]

woo hoo

* He just announced that the focus is health care and first up at bat whiney whino Boehner

[House of Roberts]

1. I was just about to get antsy and post about it myself.

He better be good. I'm skipping the last hour of Indy practice to watch him.

[flamingdem]

2. The pressure is ON

I mean I'm home on a Saturday, I should be out hiking or something

[hlthe2b]

3. Has he been doing his radio show all this time after ending his weekday MSNBC slot?

[House of Roberts]

5. Pretty much every day.

A couple of days, he had Papantonio sub for him.

[malaise]

4. Welcome back Ed

[flamingdem]

6. He's back 'n swingin'

Forget how much I enjoy watching him. Chris Hayes makes my brain work to hard!

[femmocrat]

10. Chris talks too fast for my old brain.

LOL

I like Chris.... but I liked him better on Saturday mornings. I just miss my nightly Ed show.

[flamingdem]

14. Ed serves it up with drama and emotion

I'm a sucker for the burly Ed thing. Chris is very well meaning but I'm generationally challenged or something. The upside is that I appreciate Rachel more. Maybe he'll get better when he relaxes down the line.

[flamingdem]

7. Bernie is up and talkin' Social Security

"Lift the cap" - Obama's idea

[TeamPooka]

8. Ed and Bernie back together again on TV. Life is almost back to normal

[flamingdem]

13. So true, Ed and Bernie are a comfy habit

and I feel better hearing them do their thing!

[TeamPooka]

19. and they like and respect each other too, that comes across the screen. nt

[femmocrat]

9. Welcome back, Ed!

We sure did miss you! The show is great today!

He invited cancer patients who do not have insurance to contact him and he will feature (one or more?-- not sure) on his show in the future. He is still fighting the good fight.

[MFM008]

11. Missed Ed

saw online the 5pm/8pm show (Hayes) is pulling down the entire MSNBC line up, he is a weak lead in for Rachel and her ratings ae down 7%. Chris is a morning or weekend show. We havent watched it since Ed left and then we forget Rachel is on because we are already watching something else .Wake up MSNBC.

[House of Roberts]

12. Try catching up online after the show gets posted.

You can also get vids of the other shows by clicking on 'Shows' at upper left, and selecting your interest.

I had to watch Rachel this morning on-line because they ran this Jodi Arias special instead of the usual Rachel repeat early Saturday morning. Many people I talk to only get MSNBC online this way.

[Honeycombe8]

15. I missed the show! :( Thought it was at 5, but in CST, it was on at 4. No one is going to watch

at that early time. People are still doing their weekend things at 4, often. Even I, who wanted to watch...didn't occur to me until it was 5 p.m.

I'll see if I can watch it online, but that's a lot of trouble.

[Raine]

17. I'm in CA it came on at 2 here. nt

[NCarolinawoman]

27. O'Reilly has been bragging about his ratings, lately.

Sometimes I take a quick look at Fox to see what badness they are up to. One quick glance showed O'Reilly bragging about his new higher ratings.

[Raine]

16. It was GREAT having Ed back but I thought his show was supposed to

be on for 2 hours both Saturday and Sunday for a total of 4 hours not just 2 hours over both days. Ed is getting screwed and so are Ed's fans.

[Honeycombe8]

21. Yeah. I don't have high hopes for him. MSNBC has done him wrong. nt

[malaise]

22. Same here - I thought it was two hours

[Samantha]

33. Yes, I thought it was supposed to be a two-hour show as well

I feel robbed! Hey, MSNBC, what gives?

Sam

[FloridaBlues]

18. Big Ed

I hope this slot works for him,bad time for people to watch live

[Cleita]

20. It was really good to hear talk about working class, middle class, health care

and chained CPI, topics the other wonks don't talk about that much. Happy to see Ed back even if in a limited edition.

[senseandsensibility]

23. So I missed it? It was on at two o'clock Pacific time?

It's over here, and I can't find it on my DISH TV guide.

24. The Conservative Propaganda Wing has done a good job...

stereotyping "Liberals" as :
*hate America
*hate freedom
*wimpy
*limousine riding
*bow tie wearing
*latte drinking
*gun hating
*effeminate
*pasty complexion
*run from a fight
... clones of Alan Colmes.

Ed has done a lot to dispel that stereotype, and given more Mid-Westerners permission to vote FOR The Democrats with his
Two Fisted, Hard Working, Freedom Loving, Gun Toting, Red Meat Eating, Democrat
campaign.

Ed never really appealed to me, but I always appreciated his work.
Oh Yes! Ed is the most Pro-UNION broadcaster I have ever heard.
SOLIDARITY!

25. The ED Show was getting much better ratings than Chris Hayes' show.

The audience decline for MSNBC at 8pm has been shocking. I wonder if MSNBC will realize they made a mistake.


I know Ed didn't fit the image MSNBC wanted to have going forward. But Democrats already have a reputation as being smart, nerdy, educated, Northeasterners. I'm not sure we needed to add more fuel to the fire with Chris Hayes.


Ed spoke to a group of people we desperately need to improve with: Working class whites. He did a good job explaining how working class whites benefit more economically from liberal policies. He cut through the B.S. to explain to them to vote "pocket book issues" instead of "god, guns and gays."


I wish Ed well with his new show.

[NCarolinawoman]

26. Great post!

And yes, Chris Hayes seems to fit that "latte drinking" stereotype. Nice enough guy, but we need more
blue collar people in the Democratic party.

[flamingdem]

30. +1 good points

[madashelltoo]

28. Why didn't you call me?!

I missed him! I love him and I missed him! Now I've got to wait another week. What did I do with those pills?
Are the going to rerun it?

[yortsed snacilbuper]

29. You can watch the video highlights on;

[Raine]

34. Ed is on tommorrow (Sunday) same time, same place. You don't have to wait a full week. nt

[Auntie Bush]

31. I think Ed will be on for two hours starting in August

or the end of August. Maybe Ed would like to work less this summer and get in some fishing. I'm away for a long weekend and missed him tonight.

Thanks for the video yortsed...I'll check that out.

[southernyankeebelle]

32. It was so good to see him on today. I sure missed him.
