Ok, I have given it a try but I hate it!

I am talking about the new show on MSNBC "The Cycle". I know at least one person out there agrees because they posted yesterday.
I feel like I am watching the kids table on Thanksgiving playing grown up. They just don't impress me.

Am I one of two or do others who have seen this agree?

I predict they last less than a month. MSNBC will probably insert more Lockup shows in its place .

They were not interesting to watch. Give me Rachel, Tweety, Ed, and a few others.

These folks...

I watched it for 5 minutes and that was enough to convince me it was worthless.

As far as them taking it off the air because it sucks - Morning Joke, and Chris Matthews are still on their network and Dylan Ratigan was on for a long time before they shit canned him. So I'm not holding my breath.

Just had it on and am thinking it's maybe targeted to the younger set (eg., millennials/Y-gens and younger).

I won't begrudge the younger folks from getting involved in the political discussions in the manner they want.

I guess I am not the demographic, because it does not appeal to me at all.
