Name Rachel Maddow's TV Show
Submitted by Fred Gooltz on Wed, 08/20/2008 - 6:43pm.
The name, "The Rachel Maddow Show" is owned by Air America Radio. What should she call her show?
Also, can you pitch a segment or two?
To the first point, here are some quick suggestions:
- Openly Liberal
- Talking Liberally
- Body Politic with Dr. Rachel Maddow
- Rachel Maddow's Next Deal
- TeeVee Machine with Rachel Maddow
- Rachel Maddow's TV Show
- Reality with Rachel Maddow
- Openly Rachel Maddow
- The Fight with Rachel Maddow
As for show segments:
1. "Bobbleheads"
a mix of the Abbreviated Pundit Round Up posts + "Talk Soup" snark + clips from other talking head TV shows
Run through a selection of clips from other political TV shows, pause them and point out the:
intellectual dishonesty
unintended irony
glaring omission
patent absurdity
pie-in-the-sky idiocy
2. "Your Liberal Media"
Point out glaring instances of IOKIYAR-ism on the teevee from DC's Gang of 500, ie. The Villagers.
Clearly I'd like Maddow to not hide the fact that she's a liberal on tv and I think the best way to do that is to show how there are so many hundreds more conservatives surrounding her.
Suggestions?

Name Rachel Maddow's TV Show, watch tv online - free tv
i enjoy your show a lot your always to the point !!! keep up the good work
I think Rachel's show should be named "Matter of Fact with Rachel Maddow"
The program should be called "the chat room" with RM
I think Reality with Rachel Maddow is the best one suggested. Sounds great.
I have to suggest one? Mad Cow Herald. It's an anagram. Or Do Clawed Harm.
IOKIYAR
eye-okie-yar
that's a great idea for a segment!
"Reason with Rachel Maddow"
Name:
"The Rachel Maddow Retort"
Segment:
Debunking the horrible Emails of the Week/Day/Month etc.
Oooh. "Progress with Rachel Maddow" sounds good!
"Reality Based Commentary"
"The Reality Basis"
Reality Based Commentary
I like that a lot. It both references a great moment in political dialogue and reflects the pragmatic values of American progressivism.
Always nice when you can use judo on right-wing spin and turn it on its head, like when the Forward Montana people put out a t-shirt that said: "Guns, God and Gays. Love 'em all."
Reality Based Commentary is hilarious -- but it's a great tag-line, I think, more than a title.
I like "Progress with Rachel Maddow" more than the "Retort"
Of course, I'm partial to names like Talking Liberally, but that would only be if it's a heavily talk showy format.
