While I like the idea, in practice I don't think it would work nearly as well. Chris has a week to prepare in depth for his panels on Sat/Sun and that's part of why we are hooked. He has researched his guests as well as the subject and the result is that we all learn so much more than we expected. It is the most enlightening program going, and we get 4 hours of that each weekend. We record the shows and watch them while eating our lunch. I like it this way! If he did it every day I don't think there'd be the time for in depth research.
