Heads Up: The Ed Show premieres today 'now' on MSNBC at 5pm ET.

Karen Finney is supposed to have the hour time-slot before Ed but apparently not yet because she wasn't on today.

p.s. Don't forget that Ed will have a new show on Sundays at the same time too.

1. 5pm on Saturday on MSNBC! Ratings GOLD!

He obviously has a contract which needs to be run out. There is reason why MSNBC usually plays prison shows in this time slot...Ed's audience will consist of about a dozen DUers. Who the f**k is watching cable news shows at 5pm on Saturday evening? Not even me.

2. Sure miss him at 8 p.m.

His passion is extraordinary.

3. I am so happy to see Ed again.

The time slot is crappy though.

4. What I think MSNBC should have done is...

... add a whole slate of new shows on Saturdays and Sundays all at once - say 3pm to 9pm - with more than just Ed and Finney.

Then it would be easier to remember to turn MSNBC on.

I see no reason at all that MSNBC should be showing all of those prison and caught on camera shows - all they do is make me change the channel.

5. Who watches them?! Their ratings must be abysmal.

I wouldn't even mind seeing reruns of Chris, Rachel and Lawrence on the weekends instead of those prison shows.

MSNBC just hired three new reporters/correspondents (whatever?). Maybe they have plans to expand some of the shows.
I just hope that Comcast isn't in charge of programming. We dropped Comcast when they dropped MSNBC from basic cable. Ironic, isn't it?

9. Actually those prison shows get very good ratings, they have a cult following. Sometime

last year TV Guide had a blurb on them and said that they make lots of money for MSNBC. I was shocked but you can't go wrong under-estimating the public I guess.

6. Karen Finney's show starts June 8.

Ed just mentioned it.

7. Watching... K & R !!!

8. I forgot how much I missed him and the issues that affect most of us

that he addressed. I guess this is why they didn't want him on five days a week. His topics are everyday topics of how the middle class and working class are getting screwed. We can't have too much of that out there can we?
