Po' Povichs Lose Cable Gig


According to the ratings, you probably never saw MSNBC's "Weekends with Connie & Maury." It aired four times per weekend and after 5 1/2 months it has been cancelled. I saw two minutes of one episode. It was forced and phoney to the point where my weekend time (or any time) is too important to watch two overpaid liberals tell us how our tax money should be thrown at every problem in the world. Here's another case where the show became a parody of itself as Connie Chung SANG a farewell on the final episode. If she and Maury are not embarassed, they should be. Maybe this is what bothers me about these people. They don't get embarrased when normal people would.
The reason for MSNBC dropping the show? The move comes just days after NBC News legal correspondent Dan Abrams was put in charge of MSNBC. Rick Kaplan, who was president of the cable network for two years, left last week.
