You are certainly correct about that, 7962. I, too, have read that the cheap, cheesy, tabloid "Lock Up" series is high-rated (at least by MSNBC standards). But I suspect that's because they don't offer anything better. You don't think a John Fugelsang show in a two hour block on Friday nights (with replays), and another John Fugelsang two-hour block on Saturday nights (with replays), wouldn't get ratings? Wouldn't churn up talk and video clips replayed on other shows - the way Jon Stewart and Bill Maher and the late night comedians get replayed on other shows? I think he'd hip it up on weekends. Suddenly there'd be something new and hip and happening and more edgy that might appeal to some of the younger demos. I think there'd be active participation among the viewers. On the weekends is the perfect place to try that kind of thing. A little hip, a little outlaw. And the undercurrent would still be liberal-based. And THAT is where you could bring on the Mikas and others with their tighter, skimpier, more alluring attire, as guests. Let 'em live it up. Let Fugelsang play. See what might happen. Plus it would further develop him as a personality, which would add to his clout, make him more of an established household name, and that would bring marquee value and bigger ratings to his shows.
