David Gregory's new show- your thoughts?

[Coexist]

the format is still awkward, but that may work itself out on its own.

don't have people on (Joe Scarborough) who are used to having their own show - they are arrogant and used to controlling the conversation, and don't make good guests.

too, too much white background.

split screen with pundit waiting to speak is uncomfortable.

Gregory is very well informed.

I adore the "email me and play along" feature. Custom made for DU - please use it!

BTW - Eugene Robinson just slapped Holy Joe around a little.

1. It should be the Rachel Maddow Show complete with Kent Jones, now

[LisaM]

9. I like having Rachel on the radio

It's live during the day here. If she moved to TV, I wouldn't get to hear her live.

[Coexist]

14. she stands up to bullies. she is great on MSNBC

[LisaM]

17. Self delete

It duplicated.

[LisaM]

18. Yeah, I like her, but I am on the West Coast

and listen to her during the day.

[NightWatcher]

19. I think she's been taping her radio shows early lately

I am hearing her "live" now and watching her on MSNBC too (6PM EDT)

[graywarrior]

2. Don't like the guy.

[Thickasabrick]

28. He seems too chummy with people he's covering - that's my only

take on him so far.

[high density]

3. Joe Scarborough is so wrong for this show

He doesn't know when to shut up.

[Exilednight]

13. To be fair, he doesn't know when to shut-up on his own show......

and if I were that woman on his show, I would have slapped the shit out of him by now.

[spotbird]

26. Why is he sweating?

Is he sick?

[spotbird]

27. Why is he sweating?

Is he sick?

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

4. It replaces TUCKER, so in relative terms it's the finest show ever

[islandmkl]

5. joe = yahoo.....

not yahoo on the web...

yahoo as in YAY-HOO...

the truth of the MSM is that guys like Joe have shows and air time...

take your low common denominator, divide by 7 or so....

and you have the guys like Joe...

[bigdarryl]

6. they might as well keep Tucker on hes got the same ugly faces on his show

[Coexist]

21. they do love to recyle at MSNBC, don't they!

[Exilednight]

7. Gregory is informed, but he's not the guy to host this type of show........

he needs a show that is more like Keith's. He's not good at moderating a conversation with so many people.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

8. he sucks

[Johnny__Motown]

10. To soon to tell for me. I have it on now. They are giving him the heavyweights for a panel and yes

he does know his shit.

He just has no personality. It may be a bit cerebral for the average cable news viewer. (Although Scarborough helps lower the average IQ in the room)


I hope David loosens up some and tries to be more entertaining, this isn't the White House Press Room.

[polichick]

11. I agree with you about Joe - he's even too arrogant on his own show...

...rude to his side-kick at times (never catch her name because Joe bugs me so much I turn it off).

[babylonsister]

12. And Gregory cut Eugene off; didn't like that. I DID e-mail him today! nt

[KoKo]

15. Have you seen Gregory...dancing with Karl Rove at Press Club Dinner?

David Gregory...."Media Whore SUPREME!"

[MADem]

16. The difference is, Gregory is a REPORTER, not a "commentator" and not a "pundit."

I haven't watched the show, though. I'm finding MS-GOP to be a bit hubris-laden and asinine of late. It's tiresome.

Print seems to get the points across more succinctly, without all of the personality and bullshit...

[global1]

20. He's Not Giving His Guest The Time To Finish Their Comments.....

he keeps cutting them off. He needs to STFU and listen to his guests. And Joe Scarborough shouldn't be on any show - he's too arrogant and opinionated. It seems like he talks just to talk. He is always contrary to popular opinion. He likes to hear himself talk. He always stirs the pot.

[SoFlaJet]

22. Any time Rachel is on an MSNBC segment

AND THEY ACTUALLY LET HER TALK!!! Then it's a good show segment...and almost any time Pat Buchanan is on well....

[K Gardner]

23. I've written several times already.. complaining about Scarborough. Overall, I'm

not impressed with this latest incarnation of punditry. At least Buchanan is not on there today.

[spotbird]

24. The truth/lie balance thing is annoying

but at least there is some truthful content.

[sniffa]

25. So far so good

Joe sucks tonight, but so far I like the format. I like even more the fact that it's a show devoted entirely to the campaign.

[Irishonly]

29. It Has Promise

I especially like it when Joe gets slapped down with facts.
Edited-spelling

[npincus]

30. too much emphaisis on speed

pace seems to overwhelm substance- in my opinoin.
