  1. Conversations w/ Eisner – 177,000 viewers (67,000)

    Heh, the show didn’t scratch for a change.

    And as for the morning shows, I STILL can’t believe CNN is sticking with that snoozefest also known as the O’Briens. Not only are they BORING, they sit in such a depressing set, and the program drags along for 3 hours. When will Klien see that he needs to shake things up at AM…NOW!

  2. I didn’t start out as an Imus fan but he has the most interesting guests from journalism and politics. He gets a-listers and he has an entire roster of them every single day. The entertainers he has on lean too country for me but I’ve become a huge fan of the show, I prefer it over the network morning shows now in fact.
