hope it is the original line up, with Jan Hammer and Billy Cobham... Kidding. The original TV John McLaughlin died last August. But they are resurrecting the show... http://thehill.com/homenews/me...up-to-return-in-2018 In 1985, three years after the show's launch, President Reagan jokingly roasted "The McLaughlin Group" at a Ritz-Carlton reception, saying, "In America's diet of political commentary, its intellectual nutritional values fall somewhere between potato chips and Twinkies." "John McLaughlin, Mr. T of TV journalism," Reagan ribbed as McLaughlin laughed along. "I once described John by saying the United States needs a tax increase like John McLaughlin needs assertiveness training. John took a simple Sunday morning discussion format out of the issues of our day and, using the insight, skill and great humility that have become his trademarks, managed to turn it into a political version of 'Animal House.' " "Thank you for making that half hour every weekend something very special to look forward to," the president concluded, chuckling. "I wouldn't miss it. I can't afford to."This message has been edited. Last edited by: feersum dreadnaught, NRA Life Member - "Fear God and Dreadnaught" | ||

Used to watch every week before Sunday dinner at my grandparents house. Won't be the same without the McLaughlin laying down the law. | |||

All they will do is bash Trump. That’s the sole reason it’s being resurrected. | |||

I liked watching that show. I also enjoyed Dana Carvey's parody of it on SNL. | |||

From the dead... ?  Jack Germond too?!? Why I'm "Mortified"! "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Also great from SNL was Phil Hartmann leading The Sinatra Group, with guests Sinead O'Connor (Jan Hooks), Billy Idol (Sting), and Steve and Edie Gourmet (Mike Myers and Victoria Jackson). Phone's ringing, Dude. | |||
