keith olbermann
Just weeks after his abrupt departure from MSNBC, Keith Olbermann has found a new home at Current TV, the small news and public affairs network backed by former Vice President Al Gore. Will his new viewers see the charming and witty Keith -- or the surly and nasty one?

5:00PM 10/05/2010
CNN's great 8PM hope, Parker Spitzer, garnered lackluster ratings in its debut Monday night, trailing Fox News Channel, MSNBC, and CNN's own sister network HLN. Television critics, meanwhile, savaged the program.
