I can't believe it! MSNBC has Lockup on tonight.

[Kat45]

It's a Monday night. Just because it's a holiday weekend, they have to run that fucking show! Assholes!

[hlthe2b]

1. All afternoon and all evening too...

Such BS...

[Fridays Child]

2. Maybe they gave some of their employees the day off for Labor Day.

That would be good. :)

[Kat45]

10. You're right. That's a good reason

Though I'd rather see them show reruns of last week's shows. They're still relevant enough.

[Tunkamerica]

3. Because no one deserves the night off on labor day but you?

[Kat45]

11. every day's a day off for me. I haven't had a steady job in over 2.5 years.

I forget what holidays are these days. So ok, a night off for the employees is a good idea. I hope the low-level employees also got the day off. I just can't stand that the show Lockup even exists.

[Tunkamerica]

17. I didn't, and I work at a tv station, but double time isn't bad.

4. Do you have to pay a $25 'background check' fee to visit that channel?

[Fumesucker]

5. Just showing the American people where the job opportunities are..

Convicts get three hots and a cot, probably start looking pretty good to quite a few of us fairly shortly.

6. The health care alone can be tempting to someone who has none nt

12. Getting arrested may save my life, I should look into it

Can I get treatment for lymphoma in prison? I can't get any now.

[Raine]

15. and then there is also the benefit of vocational training

plus being fully employed while on the inside.

edit: typo

7. They went to lockup

about six seconds after the President's speech. Seriously. I was listening from the next room, and the audio went from Obama's voice to the disclaimer about content. That was a very weird segue.

[valerief]

8. Prison is where Corporate America gets their slave labor, so it's approriate Lockup! is on.

:grr:

[slay]

9. They're showing us our future if we don't get in line and do as the rich and powerful want

that and they're a shit excuse for a news channel.

[MADem]

13. They don't work weekends. I think they should do an omnibus show on weekends/holidays

They could have all of their NBC affiliates send in their top three to five news stories with local reporters covering local news, and just air that shit. I don't know about you, but I'd probably get hooked on it--there's something that is fun and amusing about local news, and it's more interesting than 'reality' programming that isn't very real.

It would be cheap, too--cost them next to nothing. Interns could do a lot of the work. They'd just need a producer to prioritize the stories, put them in some kind of order, and decide how many blocks of programming they were going to have and how they might break it up--human interest, crime, medicine, children, pets, that kind of thing.

It sure would beat that bullshit LOCKUP show--of course, that announcer loves his paydays--he's rich reading the same old shit, show after show....

14. I truly hate that show!

I hear enough illiterate redneck criminals at work all day!

:puke:

[Jamastiene]

16. That is what I call MSNBC. I call it the Lockup channel.

I rarely ever check MSNBC that it doesn't have Lockup on. It's the Lockup Channel. I call the History Channel the Hitler Channel, because all the History Channel ever has on is more and more shit about Hitler.

I despise having to pay for channels and then those channels are on some fucking auto-pilot loop most of the time.
