MSNBC's "The Cycle," with S.E. Creepp and Toure, has 551K fewer viewers than Fox, 52K less than CNN

[Amerigo Vespucci]

Things aren’t looking any better for MSNBC’s 3 p.m. panel show, The Cycle. On Friday, the program once again came in third place among the big three cable news networks, taking in less than 50,000 viewers in demo (that’s less than half of what CNN Newsroom brought in during the same time slot), and 315,000 in overall viewers. This not only marks the lowest demo in all of MSNBC’s programming for that entire 24 hour-period, but it was also The Cycle’s lowest demo since its debut.

To further compare, here’s how the three networks stacked up on Friday at 3 p.m.:

Fox News – Studio B: 244,000 (25-54 Demo), 866,000 (Overall)

CNN – CNN Newsroom: 97,000 (25-54 Demo), 367,000 (Overall)

MSNBC – The Cycle: 47,000 (25-54 Demo), 315,000 (Overall)

1. It's an AWFUL show

"Hey, LOOK at us..aren't we urbane? cute? witty?

rinse repeat

[Amerigo Vespucci]

3. I wonder how long it will take for MSNBC to put the show out of its misery

I switch over to Sheperd Smith. That's right...I find him less annoying than "The Cycle." Then I switch back for Martin Bashir.

2. Time to put that unbelievable failure out of its misery (and us too).

Please--let them at least retool without the moronic SE cupp. (though the others are only marginally better).

Hell just give Martin Bashir the extra hour.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

5. G.M.T.A. (see above)

[montanacowboy]

4. Take it off the air

it totally sucks

SE Cupp - OMG by far one of the worst harpy like Republicon creatures

the others are not much better

they are all so infatuated with themselves

[standingtall]

6. The sow does suck

I don't know what they were thinking when they decided to give her a show. Is that the best they could do? I cannot wait for the day that crap is canceled. Then maybe she can go work for faux.

7. I am trying to like the Cycle, I do like Steve and Krystal

I just can't stand Creep and Toure. I hope MSNBC will drop those two and find another two hosts to fill those two stereotyped positions.
When Steve and Krystal appear as guests of other shows they are actually pretty good. The other two when they are guests they still come across as jerks.
I wish the Demo info was divided into 10 year spans. I would like to know if the 25-34 Demo likes the show any better than the 25-54.

8. I watched today for about five minutes and saw the "That woman" was part

of the show, I just switched over to rerun of the Big Band theory..

[Ruby the Liberal]

9. Good. I can't stand either one of them

and the jury is still out on Ms Ball as well.

10. Cupp and Toure have the two most pretentious names in all of television

What's wrong with 'Sarah Cupp?' This 'S.E.' thing is pure pretension. And 'Toure' is even worse. Going by one name smacks of both arrogance and an attempt to grant oneself star status without earning it. If you want to go by one name, you'd better be a badass like Prince.

And to do that in journalism of all fields? For shame . . .

[Amerigo Vespucci]

15. He is MOST CERTAINLY attempting to channel Prince...and failing BADLY.

He also has overtones of the smarmy "two snaps up" vibe from Damon Wayan's "Men On Film" character from "In Living Color." Toure is just a slimy little self-absorbed shit.

[bluedigger]

17. He admitted to being a serial adulterer on air today.

[bluedigger]

11. They are going off air for the Olympics.

My guess is there will be a few changes when (if) they come back.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

16. That will be SWEET.

"Toure and S.E. have decided to spend more time with their families."



From the beginning, the show was nothing more than an inferior ripoff the incredibly annoying "The Five" from Fox. Having one less than five didn't make it different.

[spanone]

12. dump it. they know less than i do & that's not good. but hey, they're 'sassy'

13. It's awful

I tried hard to watch ten minutes - it's a complete and total disaster

[Amerigo Vespucci]

19. I became so damned allergic to her (and Toure) via "guest appearances" that I haven't watched

I think Ball and Kornacki are equally smug, but Toure and Cupp are just too damned much.

I blew a gasket this morning when Cupp was a guest on Thomas Roberts' show (as is evidenced by the thread I posted).

[EC]

14. I wouldn't mind it, if it were just

Kristal Ball and Steve Kornachi (sp?). Cupp and Torre are just too, too. They spend their time trying to be cute.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

18. The Cycle and SE Cupp is PMS

[Raine]

20. Cannot stomach that smarmy smirking Toure' and Cupp needs

to get rid of those huge black framed glasses, they aren't making her appear any smarter.
