If it was on I paid some attention until I wanted to smack someone. From the beginning there were large gaps in my viewership. I loved best the Jon Stewart smack down and I had just haphazardly turned it on when I saw Jon there, lucky me. Then there was the time when Novak lost an eyebrow, now THAT cracked me up *I do not remember him losing a crown perhaps I am mixed up?*. For the most part from the beginning to the ending I really never felt anything good was coming out of it and cannot say I saw a whole lot of several years.

I do not ever remember feeling that the Dems were ever very effective.
