About The Show
The show's theme music was the opening bars of the second movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, a nod to NBC's Huntley-Brinkley Report and NBC Nightly News themes from the 1960s and 1970s. During the opening sequence of each nightly episode, Olbermann, in voice-over, previewed upcoming stories after asking, "Which of these stories will you be talking about tomorrow?" On MSNBC, the stories featured in the show's "countdown" was introduced by a "5-4-3-2-1" format; this format, however, was downplayed after Countdown's move to Current TV.

Famous quotes containing the word show:
“Self-revelation is a cruel process. The real picture, the real “you” never emerges. Looking for it is as bewildering as trying to know how you really look. Ten different mirrors show you ten different faces.”
—Shashi Deshpande (b. 1938)
