BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: I meant to announce this at the top of the hour, and I had other things to do. It would have been a scoop then, but it's no longer a scoop. But I can tell you that the Fox News Channel has picked up 13 episodes of the 1/2 Hour News Hour. The two pilot episodes succeeded in their mission. Fox is going to pick those up, and they're going to be in production. They're going to start gearing up. These were pilots.
Now they're going to go out and get real production staff, writers and so forth (it takes four to six weeks of putting it all together), and then the 13 week run will commence. So 1/2 Hour News Hour has been picked up for 13 weeks by the Fox News Channel -- and 13 weeks is a goldmine in this business. That's where you get the chance to really strut your stuff, when get enough of a financial commitment there to gin up a great staff of people and so forth.
So they're off and running with that.
END TRANSCRIPT
Some of my former students inform me that it is already being attacked relentlessly on youtube. YouTube has many full time anti-Christian marxists who spend countless hours on YouTube lying in an attempt to sour young people to all things conservative and all things that favor traditional America.
I hope FOX invest the resources in it to help the show reach it's full potential.
I like the concept of the show there's certainly enough raw material to sustain it. The execution and presentation could be better, though.
Um, I heard the first episode sucked. Was the second episode much better?
Laugh track - ugh! I can't stand programs with laugh tracks. And it is not particularly funny.
You heard wrong. I had long distance calls informing me to "turn it on NOW"! Some people didn't like Pryor, some disliked Hope and some didn't like Lenny Bruce.
You can dislike their humor, but to deny their humor runs counter to millions of laughing fans. Enough fans laughed at "1/2 Hour" that Fox signed them for 13 eps!

This show has liberals drooling spittle from the corners of their mouths. That alone, makes it a good thing. The libs are mounting a major battle to attack Fox. They say it is a right wing network and too partisan. Too funny. Like we just wink when they profess that CNN, ABC, NBC and CBS have no bias.
what is the 1/2 hour news hour, please?
How I wish I had a list, but that doesn't change the fact that personally I can't stand laugh tracks and did not find the show particularly clever or funny. I mean, if it I see it come on, I watch it, and wish it every success, but so far it has been disappointing.
I thought the shows were lame.
Agreed. The show was / is pathetic.
I thought the two pilots were fine. I seem to watch worse daily. They do have better moments than from what I have seen from the daily show (Not that I watch that drivel often).
I am *very* pleased. It's not *for*
the Dims to like, or not like.
It's for *us*...the other half of
America.
