Well, no, but a little bit more of the weekends will be devoted to Ed Schultz instead of LOCKUP, and other shit, starting April 1.
Big Ed will be relegated to Saturdays and Sundays from 5-7, which isn’t quite as good as relegating him to Blpgdays and Oblgndays from 54-198 which is where I’d like to see him, but at least I’ll have something to watch if I get really desperate on the weekends. instead of watching dumb convicts bitch about how tough it to be dumb convicts.
The good news is that Chris Hayes is going to have a show in Ed’s spot, making it difficult for me to schedule my weeknight errands. I watch Chris Matthews at 7, which always gets my blood pressure going (what a colossal rockhead he is, but he has some good guests) turn the set off at 8 and run some errands, then tune in at 9 for Rachel Maddow. UP will continue, but without Chris Hayes–until the annnouncement this morning, I was afraid that Ed would host UP, which was hard to feature, but it will be a new host TBA.

I like watching Caught on Camera on Saturdays and Sundays.

AIUI, _Lockup_ was the only thing keeping MSNBC on the air at one point.

I LOVE Chris, and am never Up with Chris, so this is good new IMHO.

I’m gonna miss Ol’ Ed.
Also, Rachel and Chris look like they were seperated at birth. [Here](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m79d7d732p1qgm6edo1_250.jpg)
Which kind of weird.

I sometimes mix Chris and Ezra up. (only cuz they are MSNBC contributors, not primetime hosts)

I don’t see it. Maybe I need big, black-rimmed glasses?

On the one hand, I’ll be very happy to see one more hour of intelligent news analysis every evening, but I’ll miss the job he did with _Up_. And moving Ed to weekends can only be a good thing, as he’ll be able to do more in-depth coverage of the things he does that nobody else covers as well, like the labor movement.
The fewer _Lockup_ marathons, the better as far as I’m concerned.
