Sunday Show Scorecard

It’s Monday ladies, which means it’s time for the Sunday Show Scorecard. This is where we put our favorite Sunday shows to the test to see who is representing the voting majority. So where were the Janes this weekend? Let’s see…

Mondays mean it’s time for you to go back to work and for  your favorite shows to get their grades from CJP’s Sunday Show Scorecard.   Which ones are earning their paychecks, and which ones need to work overtime when it comes to booking guests who look a little more like the Janes?
