Yeah, that hit me years ago. I used to be devoted to This Week with David Brinkley, but I haven't watched any of these shows since then. I don't even know why I'm reading this thread about the shows, I'm not going to watch.
I am going to watch Reliable Sources at 10 est to see blogger Dan Riehl take on serial assaultist, barking moonbat Mark Stark.
