That's what I was wondering. Has "Prissy Chrissy" been relegated to the ratings basement?

Hardball moved out of prime time. 7pm Eastern.

But they include Shep Smith, who is on at 7 PM Eastern and Brit Hume, who is on at 6 PM Eastern - well before most folks have gotten home from work.

Obviously, Chrissie has tanked - big time.

I think its got to be in an original post, not a reply.

If Greta wants to keep the show mostly law-oriented, she's got to get away from the celebrity cases and delve more into consitutional issues, the Supreme Court, etc. There's only so much you can say about the Scott peterson and Kobe cases, and we don't need Det. Ted Williams and Bernie Grim saying the same thing over and over.

Well, as I'm sure you know, her show stinks! She went from all Laci all the time to all Carlton Dotson all the time to all Kobe all the time. She almost as tabloid trashy as Rita Cosby is. FNC should dump Greta and pick up Scarborough.

Is this an improvement for SCARBOROUGH?

He's really not too bad in small doses. Glad to see he rules the MSNBC roost.

If I am remembering corectly, Greta got her killer ratings by accident. She was in the right time slot when a big event occured. It was something big like the apprehension the DC Snipers.

If she really wanted to do some good she could investigate how many other "Terri" stories are out there that we haven't heard about yet!

"The same panel of obnoxious defense attorneys endlessly bickering, blabbering and pontificating over every jot and tittle of the Kobe and Laci case."

Gretta is a former attorney, so that is the type of show she became known for on CNN.

I hate her panel. She has the same abrasive loudmouths on every evening.

And somehow in our litigious society she also only sees the legal story on two cases in the news presently - Kobe and the Peterson murder. I haven't even heard a debate on her show concerning Terri Schiavo.

I'd rather see Fox replace Gretta's show with a news magazine format (ala 60 minutes). It would be a good break in the evening from the OP-ED content.

...She is now on a par with Geraldo...and that's a bad thing.

...That ditz on Fox around noon time with the audience show(I'm getting senile, I can't remember her name) Yesterdays show she was ranting about how the networks would be chasing the nut who went over Niagara Falls to get his story. Yeah right, like you wouldn't give your left...whatever, to get him on your asinine show.

Can we vote on this? Joe has my vote!

Bernie: "I know I always say this, but I have to agree with Geoff on this one."

I liked her SO much better before she started "DaySide". She's a hell of a smart lady, and they're wasting her talent on the talk show format.
