BOR appeals to the same thing, only on the other side. It's quite obvious when you watch both shows and if you can't see that, maybe you should hang up your hat. <br><br>Regarding ratings, both KO and BOR draw roughly 3x their respective network's daily average, making both successful. Ratings are relative, afterall. not justy to the competition, but also to what a given series draws respective to the rest of the network. FNC is the CBS of cable news, while MSNBC is more like the CW. Which, in turn, makes BOR CSI, and KO ANTM. Both are successful in their own contexts.

Overboard appeals to the angry and those with the same pathological hatred of anything Republican, Bush, or Fox "Noise" (jealous much, Overboard?) while being a sycophantic (emphasis on the 1st syllable) lovesick groupie for B. Hussein Obama with his other wetpant Chris Matthews.<br>The truth--if Overboard could imagine what that is--is no one watches!! Stick to sports, Keith.

There are few folks that would like both, and effectively none that would bother to record one to watch the other or watch the early airing of one to watch the later of the other.
