The audience too small to count will be gravely disappointed.

The show sucked ass, but I've always liked Mac. I went to high school with his sister-in-law.

His show was horrible-I only saw snippets here and there but he really went off on an anti Bush thing during election time. He also said he wouldn't play with the musicians yet every time I was channel surfing there he was with his guitar playing! What an ego and no talent!

McEnroe was a loudmouth liberal weasel. His show sucked. He has no talent off the tennis court. No one will miss him.

This is one mercy killing I wholeheartedly support. Now McEnroe can go back to doing...well, nothing.

The show was more unwatchable than "Donahue".

"McEnroe" failed despite the considerable fame of its host, one of the greatest tennis players of his era. Plus, CNBC was counting on reaching advertisers' coveted audience of young males, who enjoyed McEnroe's reputation for throwing temper tantrums on the tennis court and questioning authority.

This shows the contempt MSM types have for their audiences: Because a tennis player stamps his foot and yells at umpires 20 years ago, people will watch him serve up social and political commentary...

I watched portions of the show a few times (it was impossible to stay with it for more than five minutes). Macenroe was just another middle-aged liberal: As boring and orthodox as Peter Jennings. Whoever approved the concept must have been drinking gallons of koolaid.
