Name that Show: What should Keith's new Current TV show be called?
I may have to think about this a while myself, though IQTV has its appeal.

6. LOL! Okay, FAIL on that one. How 'bout "Awww, 'Tweren't Nothin' Ma'am TV"?

5. "Is Anybody Watching with Keith Olberman"
The double entendre of the fact that almost no one watches Current and that Olberman is a watchdog.

8. I'm hoping (and I'll bet Current is too) that this will change that.
Of course I'm talking through my hat but I hope it's a move toward making Current a real power with the more global demographic.

11. The Current Scene with Keith Olbermann
I would have liked, "The Truth...with jokes." but

Al Franken used that one already.

15. I like it. Wainwright's "Middle Class Liberal Well-Intentioned Blues" can be the theme.
They can do a telethon to buy the GOP a clue.

The chorus line from "The Sarah Palin School of Tap Dancin' and Fancy Pageant Walkin'" can debut.

Seriously, I wonder if most of the commentators that used to be on MSNBC are under contract and won't be able to participate.

17. I wonder if he can hire any of his Countdown staff...
According to Rachel and O'Donnell, they were very instrumental in achieving and maintaining the high quality of the show.

22. Probably to keep Fucker Carlson from registering them and then sending people forged E-mails from

those domains. The bowtie boy already perpetrated such a scam with the domain "KeithOlbermann.com"

26. His name should appear first, or
close to first: The Keith Olbermann (Hour/Show. Something like that, I think.

Thanks for the thread, nolabear.
