I think most people were expecting more from a show coming live from a bar.
Like analysts getting a bit over-lubricated and giving away more inside info than they
really should. People falling off of barstools. Joe Namath-types trying to kiss the female
anchor. People shouting "Norm!" etc. etc.

Perhaps this means they will start concentrating more on business news and less on being "Fox News 2." I mean, the other night, they actually had Sarah Palin on one of their shows. What that has to do with business, I am not sure. But all I know is, if what Dave Ramsey says on his TV show is correct, that it's the network's most watched show, they'd better not cancel it.
