Really, haven't I seen this like 6 times already? And in the same time slot?

1. Looks that way but I could be an idiot too.

2. MSNBC is the worst.
Around holidays, they don't even try. I'm surprised they're even running KO's "Best Of" show for the twentieth time. Usually they'd be on the 100th segment of "LOCKUP" or "NYC Models" or some other insipid time filler.

3. Yes, you are correct
They have been running this for a week or so. I am watching an old rerun of Boston Legal--it's new to me!

6. It's about time MSNBC became a 24/7 news network
Ditch the damn crime shows every weekend and holiday. You are either a serious news station or you are not. The network has been on for years now and it's time to fill their schedule without needing Dateline!

10. I agree!
I hate those crime and punishment shows like "Lock-Up whatever". The network needs to either grown up and be a real cable news network, or give it up. This half and half bs doesn't cut it. It's stupid marketing. When you force your viewers to watch other networks to get the news/commentary on weekends and holidays, they just might stay with those other networks.

The MSNBC show hosts take more vacations than anyone on else with a comparable job on TV. While I was thrilled to see Rachel today, but where the rest of the gang? Gettin' paid for doin' nothin'.

11. That has been very annoying
And to listen this morning to the news shows delighting in the Blago thing today because it "finally" gave them some news worth reporting, in these days when nothing is happening.

WTF??? Nothing is happening????

Wow, they must have missed this rather big deal going on in the Mid East. And an American economy on life support. Years of massive criminal behavior blithly being swept under the White House rug as they all pack their bags.

But to them, there's nothing going on. Just wow.

12. There's no point in watching TV during the holiday season.
Reruns, guest hosts, and "best of 2008" shows dominate both TV and radio this week. I'm sick of it, but it happens every year, and it's almost over. Just like bush's cursed presidency....
