Almost fifty years ago executives at CBS decided that Sundays night needed some Interlectional programing, so they came up with a new concept and that was a "talking horse" by the name of Mr. Ed and it was a moderate hit. It certainly took the edge off the end of the weekend!
Last year, MSNBC started a spin off of Mr. Ed series and found a guy by the name of Ed Schultz. Ed is a rolly polly looking guy, reminds me of Michael Moore. They change the concept of the series, instead of finding a horse to host the program, they found a human being able to play the horse, or in other words be a horses ass!
Mr. Ed (Schultz) came from the Fargo, North Dakota area where he was know to be a hind end of a horse. He was known to be sportscaster for many of the teams in the State, and at one point started a riot at a local football game . Ed is in every way a opportunists and makes out to be a progressive liberal. But if he could make money being a conservative, he would and a carbon copy of Rush Limbaugh. Locate Towns People called him the town idiot and he tried to be conservative.
Callers used to call him and give him particular hell till one day he simply switched horses and started to preach liberalism.
Well it never really caught on, he was sort of comedy relief for People who listened to Rush. One Fargo resident said about Mr Ed:
“we got a kick out of the Ed as he tried to be the liberal Rush Limbaugh......I still chuckle when I hear the idiot.... I know he simply can’t make the grade no matter how hard he tries.”
Another person remark:
“Sadly much like the scarecrow (on the Wizard of Oz) he doesn’t have a brain. Much like a parrot he repeats everything he hears that he thinks will make good echo politics and gets paid for it. Well I guess it proves that in America even the biggest idiot can grow up to be a news star.”
The Mr. Ed Show however sees it ratings around 400 thousand on any given night. If you would like to know just have small a audience that is, towns like Fresno, Long Beach, California , and, Mesa Arizona has more people living within it borders than people who watch Ed. In comparison Fox News has programing nearly 2 million people nationwide.
What concerns me most about MSNBC, is the viewer is left with a warped, biased impression of what is going on in the world. One can take only so much in a single sitting listening to the delivery of news By Mr. Ed.
NewsBreakers Blog reported the following:
“As if Schultz hadn't raised enough eyebrows among psychotherapists in his audience, he climbed even further over the top in flogging Cheney and Republicans
You see, they hate Social Security. They hate Medicare. It's own your own retirement, own your own Medicare, own your own health care, own your own education, because this is just the best way to do it. They're not American. They are not American. But I guess my question to our wonderful listeners here on the Ed show today is, is Dick Cheney relevant? Yes or no?! And tell me why. So is this the way it's going to be, that the Darth Vader, he's going to come out and stick his head out from that hole he lives in, about every 60 days and do another interview to capture the news cycle for another 24 hours and we've got conflict conversation in the country again?
The guy's a loser! He shot somebody in the face! He doesn't know what the hell he's doing! He's a turncoat, on the American people! Dick Cheney wants you to get hit again for political gain, that's what he wants. I'm convinced of that.”
Segments where his sometimes calls every conservative out, for outrages statements in his psycho talk, but it seems the famous Mr Ed Schultz should listen to himself more often and perhaps Ed should be his feature target in the future.
Well lastly I wanted to report to you that of course the old Mr Ed show I found was popular and at the shows peak "Mr. Ed" commanded 47 percent of the viewing audience in its time slot. But the New Mr Ed show cannot Gardner more than a few hundred thousand. A line in the old Mr Ed theme should be used in the new spin off:
“People yakkity yak a streak and waste your time of day”
But Mr Ed Schultz should follow the next sentence in the theme:
“But Mister Ed will never speak unless he has something to say!”
Eddie boy you need to stop talking, your making a fool of yourself and the ratings sure show it!
