I saw Christy & Rick on the afternoon news yesterday on Fox. Looks like mgmt is rotating its staff... that obnoxious C Jansing & a new guy replaced Christy & Rick.

You didn't see his beautiful wife on with him last Sunday I assume. She was with him since they were going to church after the close of the show. The man does a fine job. There may be a better setting for him but he does a nice job on F&F.

Julian Phillips lacks ease, and does not seem to have rapport with his fellow hosts, or with callers and guests.
He may be coming along, though.
Mike Jerrick is a sort of 'Everyman' of desultory conversation.
Bill McCuddy is the maven of the phony world of entertainment. His topics invariably are boring.
Juliette Huddy is a sharp and funny gal, and holds the show together when she is on.
I loathed the segment today which treated the killing of Kathie Lee Gifford's dog as a joke.

Which one are you referring to

[pt17]

Not much there other than fluff and car chases.

Personally,I prefer their evening evening news, especially Brit Hume's show, to anything else on the boob tube. Now if they would replace the daytime drivel with spots that pit such people as Peggy Noonan, Laura Ingram, et. al., against all comers, I might work from home more often to watch it.

Why Is Fox Keeping Julian Philips On F&F?

Just to p*ss you off.

Somebody better Call Roger Ailes and save this show that's being destroyed...

Ailes doesn't care what you, or I think. In TV, the bottom line is ratings - and if they crap out, they'll change. You'll be happy. If the ratings are good - they'll keep doing what they're doing, just to p*ss you off.
