see post 11.

Rush said what you said regarding the quality and budgets of pilots vs regularly scheduled productions.

The ratings for this are outstanding. 1.5 million people on a Sunday night shows this show has serious legs, and there is a definite market for a conservative leaning satire show. Once again Fox News proved it can succeed in any arena of the news they get into.

Hire Dennis Miller to host the program. Then watch those numbers double and maybe even triple!

Just ask CNBC... ;)

They seemed wooden...

I've read this criticism many times. Give 'em a break. They're not actors. Does anyone remember Nixon on Laugh-In? Or Algore on anything? Yeesh. Talk about wooden. Even so, it was a funny spot and I laughed out loud a number of times.

All in all, the show was great! I hope it lives forever and spawns many offshoots. God knows, the Libs provide plenty of material.

Hire Dennis Miller to host the program.

Great idea -- but, it looks like Dennis has another gig.

Westwood One Signs Dennis Miller for Daily Radio Show

"Dennis Miller will host a three-hour daily talk show on Westwood One radio stations.

"The show, debuting the week of March 12, will be broadcast from Los Angeles from 7 to 10 a.m. PT, writes Mediaweek. Though Westwood has not announced clearances yet, Miller could clear 7 of the top 10 markets at launch, according to the article.

"As part of the deal, Westwood will relaunch Miller's website."

The one with Capt. Christopher Pike or the one with Capt. James "R" Kirk? Yikes indeed.

I watched it last night (3/11) and it was hilarious. I wish I could find the transcript.

My husband loves the show and I like it, too. Some of the jokes last night were a little weak but with tweaking, this should be a hit. I hope they make more.

I especially liked the ones concerning the ACLU. Any idea where to find the printed scripts?

I got to see it last night for the first time. I thought it was awful. As difficult as it was, I made it through the entire show. Limbaugh and Coulter wasn't even that good IMO. That laugh track was sickening.
