Okay, show of hands from those people who are absolutely, totally surprised that Weekends with Maury and Connie is being canceled by MSNBC. No one, huh? Well, that's because you are a such a smart audience.
In a move that everyone saw coming from several miles away, except perhaps Maury Povich and Connie Chung, the cable news network has canceled the show, which premiered on January 7th of this year to much fanfare. After the premiere, the audience never re-materialized, despite the fact that the show aired twice on both Saturdays and Sundays. In addition, Povich was slapped with a sexual harassment suit from a producer of his syndicated talk show, which probably didn't help his chances of renewal over at MSNBC.
The last Weekends with Maury and Connie will air this upcoming Saturday at 10am. On Sunday, with plenty of free time on his hands, Maury will begin his task of making sure every single man and boy has a DNA test to prove that he is the father of their own child.

Thank GOD ! This show was the worst, I don't like Maury but I still can't understand what he saw in this woman. The one show I saw she was harping on him for some trip he took or golf outing that she did'nt get to go. My god she would not let it rest. They deserve each other.

Did i read that right? Maury is going to begin his task of "making sure every single man and boy has a DNA test to make sure he is the Father of his own child???" How insulting to monagamous couples. Maybe this trash TV host wants us to believe his guests from The Maury Povich Show were representative of our society but we didn't buy him then, and we're not buying him now.

Wilson: I believe that was a joke on Mr. Keller's part, referring to Povcih's penchant for DNA tests on his show.
