Should DU submit a political show to MSNBC?

Last edited Sun Mar 11, 2012, 08:58 AM USA/ET - Edit history (1)
Anything to get the prison crap off of it? Maybe some of us with the best political discussion skills video record a round table discussion pilot and call it, I don't know, "Democratic Underground" and submit it to MSNBC?

It can be a tv version of DU where no name political enthusiasts like ourselves are invited on each week.

If we can't use the DU name how about we call it: "Political Threads"?

I would have to find PMSNBC on the TV. I'd watch it.

2. I think "Democratic Underground" sounds better as a title. It's intriguing.

It would be some show, that's for sure. We have some real characters here on DU!

I'd love to see many of the posters I interact with here on DU! For instance, your user name makes me think that you are a fun person. I'd also like to see folks like LoZoccolo, ProSense, Atomic kitten, Sparkly and a very long list of the names I can't recall just now! It would be a terrific discussion!

Understatement..

or political talking skills to appear myself (wouldn't want to embarrass my fellow DUers) but I would love to help all I could behind the scenes and, like you, I would love to see some of the really strong regulars here at DU on the show. There's so many I like.

I think the graphics for the show could also have like an online message board theme to. And each topic on the show could be introduced as the next "thread". And we could use a lot of other online terminology in keeping with the theme.

Frankly, I support this decision.

A ) Nothing better than getting a bunch of 'loosers' on TV, to show the world who they really are.

B ) Guest transportation would break the DU budget in just a couple of episodes.

Bolded: No-it-all-Nadin is quite regular, even has a political thought or two to share, occasionally. But mostly it's just barely readable (readyible?) mispelt gibberish about those homeless slackers that were set up in city parks. What were they called?

Underlined:Yeah! that would be the ticket. Some Nadinisms thrown in, especially toward the end. Would make a real nailbiter for viewers to want to tune in the next show if promised a definition of, or use of the mystery Nadin-word in a sentence.

But, alas, probably just another busted pipe dream by an overly exciteable DUmbass that had a thought he/she/it decided to share with the world. Could have been a DU Classic.

I read that Jerry Springer is the most popular show on TV....in the middle east.

Jerry Springer is DU lite so DU heavy I bet would be a hit.
