After an inauspicious debut, the new CNN duo of Eliot Spitzer and Kathleen Parker is definitely trailblazing—if you consider it trailblazing to help bury Larry King. According to TV Newser, "Last night’s “Parker-Spitzer” saw the lowest numbers yet for the program and the show did little to help the one that followed on the schedule — “Larry King Live” which had its worst numbers in more than 10 years. In its sixth outing, “Parker-Spitzer” drew 311,000 Total Viewers and 86,000 A25-54 viewers. That’s lower than the previous low for the time period set by Campbell Brown earlier this year... At 9pmET, “Larry King Live” put up its lowest A25-54 demo viewership since July 2000."
