I'm glad to see other people have seen this show as exactly the same as the old one with new graphics. I thought I was just being hypercritical of Dan. I realize now that I was just being PERCEPTIVE.

It's hard to transition from Keith Olbermann into Dan Abrams' shrill, sensational, egomaniacal coverage of the day's news. Keith has such a great sense of gravitas, outrage AND humor, and delivery of all of those things. Dan Abrams has NONE of those things. I don't even know how he has a show. Or, for that matter, why.

Very disappointing show!! If you want to provide a new show then change the platform and pundits. Take a hard look at the show with the top ratings and duplicate it with a legal platform, such as covering all the illegal constitutional revisions that have taken place in the last eight years, use John Dean, Jonathan Turley or Bruce Finnes, etc. Analyze the decisions of the Supreme Court, FISA, jailed democratic Governors/Sigelmen, etc., use legal scholars and pundits. Educate the public on truth and facts in the legal relm of the world, like Abu Graib, Guantanamo, Torture, missing emails, CIA Tapes. Do a show that educates the masses for a change, then your ratings will grow. Rachel Maddow is excellent, so is Chuck Todd and David Schuster, but you really have to analyze the use of Pat Buchanan if you want to draw and keep the younger educated generation that watches Keith.

MSNBC is full of talent, if everyone would stop the theatrics.games and stay with truth and facts. Additional talents that should be used more often for intelligent insight are Eugene Robinson (thrilled he is on with David Gregory) and John Ridley, who I believe can attract and educate many of us to the issues at hand that relate to our racial divide by giving us a different, but honest perspective.

You really need to scrap this show and start over!!!

Yep. cute. Swimsuit ad forthcoming.

Simple shows for simple people. What a shame. I've seen a sample of what the new show will be like and I'm changing channels or, better, watching a movie instead since Larry King is annoying about 80 % of the time. So much for decent news analysis. Goodbye MSNBC

Verdict = Weak

And I wish MSNBC would get rid of Pat Buchanan. His shilling for Hillary makes me retch.

Why isn't MSNBC spending time demanding transparency from Clinton on last 8 years of tax returns, Bill's foundation, library donors, complete list of earmark requests, and her Whitehouse records that are being blocked?

All we here is how bad Obama is because of what his pastor said, yet narry a word about Hillary very long, close relationship to Billy Grahan and his ant-semitic remarks caught on Nixon tapes? There are many articles and clips out there showing he has been her spiritual adviser and he had to apologise for inflammatory remarks. I guess we don't hear because the msm has VETTED HER???

if does the mccartney divorce before he mentions the non-stop rumors about siegelman being beaten in prison, I will know what this is all about, just another poser looking to a payoff by salacious content. How very disappointing

There is absolutely no difference between this program and the "old program," except for the new name and graphics! Who is he trying to kid? What do they take us for, "morons?" The least they could do would be to get new "talking heads!" They kept the same tired, old Pat Buchanan!!!

I watched it. It was as many of those posting comments say--much of the same, and silly. I'm not impressed with Abrams at all. I get so tired of MSNBC, CNN, and most of the cable network shows. They are all about ratings with little about facts (with the exception of Olberman, who is just sometimes over the top).

The show might have a new name but it's the same old same old, with white supremacist and homophobe, Pat Buchanan, righteously prattling on about the sins of Obama's ex-pastor. Give me a break!

The scoreboard is an insult to viewers' intelligence. It's a guise to protect Dan Abrams from accusations of favoritism. The scoreboard has a major flaws. All the transgressions committed by the candidates are equal. Geraldine Ferraro's racist remarks would get an X and some borderline, nuanced comment by Obama would get an X. If we applied those standards of judgment to the criminal justice system, jaywalking would be equivalent to murder. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

I watched his show for the last time tonight.

Abrams said : "I will try to use my legal background to assess right from wrong and ultimately announce the day's winners and losers." He failed to call out Buchanan when he (Buchanan) told Keli Goff to "SHUT UP" so how can we believe Dan knows right from wrong in other areas. I'll miss watching little Danny, but as long as he continues to have Buchanan on his "show" I'll be reaching for the remote. Get a spine dude!

The show was EXACTLY the same..just a different title. AND Dan was just as annoying on this version as he was on the other. I wish he didn't get on my nerves so bad because he is REALLY good looking. I know, I admit it...I'm shallow..but whatever..he's got great eyes. (ha ha)

I practiced law for 30 years. Abrams may have passed through a law school, but he is not much of an analytical lawyer. I got tired of watching him a long time ago, because he is a shallow thinker, shoots his mouth off, and often has only the barest idea of what he is talking about. What is particularly galling is his selling himself as a smart lawyer.

Kind of silly. Who wins the misstatements tonight? It's so obvious that Abrams tries keep everyone happy by making every show basically even. You can't just make all the b.s. of the campaigns comes out even on the scoreboard or within one every night. Team Hillary distorts so much more than Obama's people... we all know that.

Guess those Hillary advertising (sponsors) really did a number on MSNBC. Manufacturing Consent!

So, this is an ad, not an article.
