CNN Just Clocked Its Worst Primetime Ratings In 10 Years Thanks To Eliot Spitzer And Larry King

CNN executives say they want to give Eliot Spitzer and Kathleen Parker's week-old discussion program time to grow. But perhaps they're reconsidering in light of the show's performance Monday night, when it drew just 311,000 viewers at 8 p.m., according to Nielsen Media Research, far fewer than it had any night last week following its Oct. 4 premiere.

The low numbers for "Parker Spitzer" helped give CNN its worst average primetime ratings in 10 years. (See chart below) As did "Larry King Live," whose exclusive interview with Afghan President Hamid Karzai wasn't enough to give him more than 196,000 total viewers at 9 p.m.

Get a real conservative, and replace either one of the two losers on there now.

It’s obvious the commie network did a lot of market research to figure out the show’s name. How pathetic can they be? Suggestions instead:
The Hate Palin Show
The Hate Republicans Show
The Really Hate Conservatives Show
We Beg You to Watch Us Even Though We Suck Show

Any CNN exec who did NOT stand up and voice their objection to this idiotic idea when it was first proposed, should be fired immediately.

Where did these people get the idea anyone would be interested in anything these 2 people have to say.

They should just hand the network over to Beck...the guy knows how to draw a crowd.

I suspect that "Kristin" would have pulled better ratings.

We need to email CNN and tell them what a great show it is. The longer they keep it on the more viewers they’ll lose.

“Pair” Kristin up with Mrs. Spitzer and you've got yourself a ratings juggernaut...

I don’t watch much TV but that is exactly what my wife said, when she was checking out the news...and click she did-to another channel.

I would watch a pack of Frat boys make fart noises with their armpits before I watched CNN.
