MSNBC Disconnects "Connected" MSNBC's "Connected: Coast to Coast" died a quiet death on Friday. Monica Crowley and Ron Reagan co-hosted their last show at noon.
"Thanks to all of you who have written to say kind things," senior producer Tony Maciulis blogged on MSNBC.com. "We've spent the last year bringing you quality programming -- the kind of political debate show that you don't really see anymore." Or, some would say, the kind of political debate show that we don't want to see anymore.
Cliff Kincaid: "...The hosts permitted guests enough time to complete their sentences. It provided a serious forum for the discussion of hard news."
When the show premiered in February, MSNBCers were excited. "We hope to bring some perspective on the news stories that you've been hearing during the day," Crowley said...
Update: 10:38pm: "Was I the only one who truly enjoyed Connected Coast to Coast?," an e-mailer asks. "I felt Monica Crowley and Ron Reagan both were low-key enough to allow the newsmakers to make their points without the egos of the hosts getting in the way. It made the show very watchable for those of us raised in an era of sane television journalism. It was probably the only TV talker that was without rancor between hosts of vastly differing viewpoints and truly which brought a thoughtful discussion of issues to MSNBC. I'll miss the show."
But another e-mailer writes: "What took MSNBC so long to realize how crappy Connected: Coast to Coast was? The show was terrible; they deserved a quiet death, certainly it shouldn't make news
NOOOOO!
The ballerina's funeral ride is finally over.
Amazing!c PMSNBC tossed Non Reagan the pass-around bootie poodle *out*?....Will wonders never cease?
Next thing you know, they'll be tossiing Carlson
and his Fart America fascist Lesbian dominatrix
out as well!...
Did all the pervs running NBC programming get
"persuaded" to "turn in their resignations" recently?
I can't believe that Monica would go to the Titanic. Aren't they supposed tp scrap MSNBC pretty soon?
"MSNBC Disconnects "Connected" MSNBC's "Connected: Coast to Coast" died a quiet death on Friday. Monica Crowley and Ron Reagan co-hosted their last show at noon."
Who knew?
pmsnbc should contact me for new programming. I guarantee that I could increase their ratings at least 200%.
Replace spitting chrissy with Ann Coulter.
Replace olderman with Laura Ingraham.
Replace plain old joe with Rush Limbaugh.
With these three moves {provided that editorial content was left to the hosts} will move msnbc up 2-400%.
It will never happen, but I know that they could change their ratings position.
The teeth look the same. His teeth always creeped me out....The guy has fangs. Monica did some very good interviews, Though.
Dance Ballerina, Dance!
I've tried to watch the show...i really have..But
the longest amount of time that i can usually
stomach it, usually is about 15 minutes...I don't
really wnt to complain, because sort of like with
Dean, I think the show does more damage to PMSNBC
& the Dims, than replacing it with a *real* news
based show, hosted by a *real* conservative.
I never saw that show, but that bit sounds hysterical.
Thank God Reagan adopted Michael.
I've decided to hold to a belief that *he* was
the adopted son..the spawn of a drunken chorus
boy, out on the town with his boyfriends on
a birthday bash, who carried through an a dare,
to "do" a crack "strawberry", in the alley where
they could watch....
Somewhere, some orthodontist need to be ripped right out of his practice.
If she needs some cheering up, she can call me anytime.
Another one bites the dust, hey hey!
PMSNBC's doomed programming department might as well give up. I can't see them continuing on much longer. They are the err America of TV.
Can't say, as i don't remember ever watching it.
