Who do you watch, O'Donnell or Olbermann??

[center rising]

Both shows are good. But I'm liking O'Donnell a little more than Keith.

[femmocrat]

1. I watch KO.

O'Donnell puts me to sleep most of the time.

[trueblue2007]

51. KEITH IS MY MAN NOW. I HOPE RACHEL TRANSFERS TO CURRENT TV SOON!!

[defendandprotect]

72. Second that -- because I'm not going back to Comcast's MSNBC ... !!

[gkhouston]

2. Sometimes neither, but always Maddow. n/t

[Homer12]

3. Keith

Larry for the rewrite

[KittyWampus]

4. O'Donnell- Olbermann's schtick got old for me.

[Bluenorthwest]

5. O'Donnell was an understudy, he has his moments but he

reaches for it. I like him when the subject is media, such as in the Trump stories, because he is good at that. Politically, he is too self possessed to be a good anchor for the sort of show he is trying to do. Sorry. It is a KO by KO.

[dionysus]

6. neither. i play guitar and read DU.

[RKP5637]

7. I watch O'Donnell, Olbermann and Rachel.

Not all the time, it varies, but if I had to pick one I would pick Rachel. And then sometimes I get tired of everything, because often I think the US is sooo F'ed up, but I really doesn't have to be that way.

[patrice]

8. I'm a Lawrence ODonnell fan.

[Tx4obama]

9. I watch BOTH. One live then the other on the repeat. n/t

[Fuzz]

10. Tivo priority, Keith, then O'Donnell will record on a repeat. I never watch live tv, HATE commercial

s. Only exception is Jets games. ;) EDIT: And I mute the commercials for those.

[RKP5637]

13. Yep, the commercials sometimes really get pretty intense. Sometimes I just turn it off. n/t

[virgogal]

11. Neither.

[valerief]

12. KO

[Logical]

14. Always KO. Not MSNBC at all anymore. n-t

[godai]

19. Likewise...sometimes RT from 9-11. n/t

[NotThisTime]

26. +1 KO no question

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

15. I love Larry. I think he's very smart and very pragmatic. He's worked for Congress

and has great insight of what's going on. Keith, sadly, is boring me to no end. I still watch, but I'm not impressed.

[Coyote_Bandit]

16. Neither

And I think KO belongs on the sports desk. Turned him off during the last primary season and don't ever intend to watch him again. Haven't missed much.

[lordsummerisle]

17. KO n/t

[SheilaT]

18. Rachel.

MSNBC does not seem to put up O'Donnell's show to be watched, the way they do Rachel's, and I haven't tried real hard, but I don't think Olbermann is available on the internet either. No TV. Only internet.

[Lucinda]

41. There are several online sources for KO's show

Here is one:
http://ready-tv.com/?p=109

[SheilaT]

64. I just spent a few minutes trying to navigate that site,

and aside from eventually getting a link to segments posted on YouTube, I could not seem to locate the actual show that I can simply watch when I want to, as I can with Rachel. Since I work until 8pm in Mountain Time, trying to watch him live is out of the question.

[Lucinda]

69. They repeat the show several times throughout the day

Maybe one is a regular time that you can watch?
Hope you find a source that works for you.

[NMDemDist2]

20. watch O'donnell, tape Keith

wonder if KO is doing a pod cast yet....

[housewolf]

21. I watch Lawrence O'Donnell live, and either record or catch Keith later

I like them both too, and wish that Keith was up against Ed Schultz rather than Lawrence O'Donnell

[MrMickeysMom]

22. I find Keith refreshing even more than before...

and building a rock solid group of folks in his segments... taking the best from the best.

I may have preference for style, but it's really content that I look for.

[Blue_In_AK]

23. Both

Our cable company doesn't carry current, so I watch Lawrence at 4:00 p.m. and then watch Keith on the computer at 7:00 p.m.

[rustydog]

24. I watch both. Variety is good

[drm604]

25. I don't get Olbermann's channel

so if I'm watching anyone at that time its O'Donnell. I wish Olbermann had gone to a more available channel.

[dembotoz]

63. yep me 2 and it sucks

[Snotcicles]

27. I have become a big fan of Lawrence O'Donnell I watch Keith also.nt

[Johnny Harpo]

28. Keith Is The Man...I Hope Al Hires Rachel Next...n/t

[Ozymanithrax]

29. Olberman...

Nobody does it better.

[Me.]

30. KO Unleashed

Great guesta

[deacon]

31. Both. n/t

[Anakin Skywalker]

32. Team Olbermann!

[Stardust]

33. Both. But sometimes I wonder, why bother? nt

[elleng]

34. Watch both, Keith after Lawrence, Rachel and Ed.

Fortunately they rerun.

[AverageJoe90]

50. What about Cenk?

Ed Schultz's alright too. And what about Cenk from TYT? I always liked him, too. =)

[elleng]

60. Haven't spent much time w Cenk tho he has some good guests+info.

+ actually prefer Ed's guest hosts, but I do try them all. Thx

[Codeine]

35. Cable news is unbelievably lame. nt

[Chellee]

36. Keith.

I stopped watching O'Donnell when he gave Coulter a platform to spew her garbage.

[HipChick]

37. both....DVR

[Taverner]

38. Whichever comes up first on the DVR

[PSzymeczek]

39. Keith!

On ready-tv.com

[SoapBox]

40. KO

[nadinbrzezinski]

42. KO, and no, not a problem switching channels

[Lucinda]

43. It's easy enough to watch both these days - but I watch Rachel more often

than anyone

[Iggo]

44. Both. The DVR's a wonderful invention. (n/t)

[Bravo Zulu]

45. Yes!

[eShirl]

46. both, on the keef_olberman channel on justin.tv

he/she plays MSNBC through most of the day, switching over to CURRENT at 8 and back again at 9, then Comedy Central for the Daily Show and Colbert Report, then back to MSNBC again for the repeat of O'Donnell

[RamboLiberal]

47. Both - DVR O' Donnell at 8 KO live at 11

Have to make a different plan to get Stewart/Colbert as well.

[Raine]

48. O'Donnell ... I don't get the network that KO is on and if I

did I would record one or the other so I could see them both.

[AverageJoe90]

49. Well.......

O'Donnell seems to be alright, but I personally like Maddow & Olbermann better. =)

[TicketyBoo]

52. Olbermann

for the humor; Rachel for 100% fact and on-the-nose commentary.

O'Donnell has always made me doze off. Ed is too shrill for my taste.

[Motown_Johnny]

53. I stopped watching O'Donnell months ago, I watch Keith

[madokie]

54. Not even a question. KO

If I'm in the house at that time anyway. I can't work a regular job because of PAD and COPD so I piddle around the place here and most days start shortly after 7 am and I finally get back in the house around nightfall and KO comes on at 7 PM so I miss most of his shows but I watch when it happens that the evening meal is during that time period. I tell my wife I need to get a job so I can get some rest but with the health issues I have no luck in that and no sense in even bullshitting myself into thinking I may be able to find one.
Lawrence is good but KO is much better. Rachel is awesome in that same light and I too hope she moves to Current TV. My tv here in the computer room is set to Current and hardly ever gets changed, hell it hardly ever gets turned on except for KO now. When KO left m$nbc I left with him.

[Vinca]

55. Keith. I switch to O'Donnell in the breaks or if I'm not interested in a segment.

I definitely switch back for Rachel.

[polmaven]

56. If I am home at 8:00

I watch KO then and O'Donnell at 11:00. Otherwise it is KO at 11;00.

[hobbit709]

57. KO

[Little Star]

58. I want Current TV to be sucessful.....

I want Keith to be successful too, I've always liked him.

I make it a point to watch Keith in hopes that Current will eventually become the progressive answer to FOX. MSNBC will never be that answer.

I like Lawrence and think his show is good. But for my way of thinking this choice is mostly about helping build Current TV.

[Divine Discontent]

70. ditto!

[mod mom]

59. KO but I watch at 11 pm because of summer

[City Lights]

61. I like both, but I'm watching Olbermann. nt

[Donnachaidh]

62. KO -- O'D is too much of an elite insider

he's perfectly willing to *go with the program*

[Wait Wut]

65. Larry

I can't get KO (no Current), but if I had a choice I'd still prefer O'Donnell. I'm not a child and don't appreciate being lectured or screamed at by my entertainment. Larry is more respectful and has a dry sense of humor that appeals to me. Keith's head got a bit large for my TV.

[woofless]

66. Both.

Keith live then O'Donnell and Rachel on dvr.

[flamingdem]

67. OD for me

not into web watching ..

[truebrit71]

68. Olbermann.

n/t

[defendandprotect]

71. Olbermann -- don't trust O'Donnell --

[aaaaaa5a]

73. I watch O'Donnell and DVR Olbermann

I like to compare the shows. I know its blasphemy to say this… but I think so far, O'Donnell has had the better show.


O'Donnell's content has been real good. And the depth of his political experience really shows through. He has been way ahead of everyone else in reporting on subjects such as Trump and Palin.


Still, Olbermann's show is top notch.


My top 5 MSNBC/Current TV shows

1) Mathews
2) O'Donnell
3) Maddow
4) Olbermann
5) Joe

I can't stand Cenk (barely watch the show and wish it would be replaced). And while I support Ed (I'm all for more liberal voices on cable) I have never really got into his show and don't see it nightly like I do the others. Chuck Todd's show is underrated and I am finding myself watching it more frequently. It is much better as a solo act. It could break into my top 5 soon.

[ThomWV]

74. Olbermann at 8:00pm and then Rachel at 9:00pm
