Reginald Cornsilks 208 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Cancelled my sub today. I hate being that cranky guy always #####ing but I was a big Howard rumpswab for years. I just can't get over how ####ty the show is now. Very few laughs, the same tired stuff over and over. I could give a #### about Miss Howard TV. Get Sal and Richard in there and stop rushing the damn show. I'm out! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jamny 6,310 Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Add me to the list of disappointed fans. Since he signed the new contract the show has been horrible. He just rushes through the day, there's no creativity and there doesn't seem to be a lot to look forward to in the future. I haven't heard the show this week and I really don't even care. That's never happened to me before. I have no plans of dropping it and I hope things improve. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bushdocda 3,429 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I am glad I'm not in the car as much as i used to be. Listening to Howard and Robin talk about vegtables and photography with the occasional fun guest is a far cry from the great stuff that went on during the Artie era. I won't be cancelling b/c FM radio is unfathomably bad but I won't miss the show when it is gone anymore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brady Marino 1,333 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Seems like that he's been on a new media tear since he signed the new contract. Always talking about his phones and Ronnie's twitter obsession. Who gives a flying ####? Some "revolution" in radio. At least Scotty Farrell is still there 5 nights a week.

modogg 4,690 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 It's relative...I just got satellite a few months ago...this lesser version is still much better than what I've been listening to over the past 10 years. I got the lifetime plan when Howard first went to Sirius, but the other day i left my Stilleto in my office and had to drive around for work the next day. It is amazing how horrible terrestial radio is. I haven't listened to as much classic rock as i used to so it is nice hearing the overplayed songs for the first time in awhile, but as far as a personality or any talk on the radio, Howard's worst day still trumps anything that I am able to listen to right now. I do agree though that adding another voice to the radio could really help the show out a bit. I believe they mentioned the other day that David Arquette was going to spend some time with them again and he meshes well with the show. i also imagine we will get a week of George again soon, and I enjoy those. havig a regular comedian in there would help it a bit when it gets a little stale, but i think he has tried bringing more of his staff in the studio. I heard a clip this week of him busting on Ronnie and Sal was in for almost the whole segment chiming in, and there wasn't really any other reason for him to be in there, so maybe they are trying some things out Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Plaid Boxer 66 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I just don't get the 'topless' fascination. They had already done a phony phone call with these drops a long time ago. I didn't find this latest version any funnier, if anything it was repeating a bit. I guess I'm just anti-Ronny. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chet 4,499 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Howard should retire. They should replay some of the old shows when he used to rail on Imus for being over the hill. Maybe he'd realize he's in the same position now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kip stabone 9 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Yep, he said repeatedly that it would occur sometime "far off in the future". Then finally said that would be in a few months.Eh, the show isnt what is was in back in the day or even a few years ago. But, it's still the best $15 a month i'll spendFor what its worth, my annual subscription ran out this week and after telling the sales rep that I was probably going to cancel at $169/year she transferred me to another rep who immediately offered me the same plan for $86/year.

Hedgehog 23 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 It is what it is.....I have a ton of old stern clips on my ipod and I find myself listening to those more than the new shows. Once in a while they have a good one but most of the time he is phoning it in. It just seems like he is getting bitter and trying to strip down the show - maybe has something to do with recent lawsuit he filed.... No Artie....no one to fill the chair....minimal new bits.....no roasts....no new content for 101....cut hrs of show...more time off....more obvious product placement/promotion...celeb butt kiss...Hampton Howie Howard in his 20's and 30s would be disgusted at what he has become now.....but that would be true for a bunch of people!

The Big Guy 579 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Howard and Howie Mandel was another home run interview. When Howie was talking about the toilet bowl front clean feature spraying his nuts like a boxer hits a speed bag, I was doubled over laughing. Still like how that after all these years Howard can get celebs to tell so much more then any other interviewer. I know it helps that Howie Mandel is obviously a listener and fan of the show, but he still gets the most out of him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
