-
- "Overall, I thought that BBF sucked as well. Although there were
- a couple of laughs, as a whole, I did not find it to be very
- entertaining.
-
- As far as Howard goes, he's only been on the air here in
- Chicago a couple of months or so, and I am not too impressed.
- Somethimes his morning show can be funny, but much of it just
- seems boring and pointless.
-
- I don't see how he could have become #1 anywhere!
-
- I don't know how he was in the early years. Maybe he once was
- a funny guy, but what I've heard over the last few months has
- not been very good.
-
- Basically his show consists of:
-
- 1) Howard telling us how he is so much better than all the other
- DJs and how they all suck.
-
- (if this is true, then why does he need to keep reminding us?)
-
- 2) Howard bitching about the FCC.
-
- (he makes some sence here, but this is getting stale)
-
- 3) Howard bitching at and about his staff and how they can't do
- anything right.
-
- 4) Howard bitching about the quality of the telephones and
- transmitting equipment.
-
- 5) Howard telling us how great his "Butt Bongo Fiesta" tape is.
- (while those of us who've seen it know how bad it really is)
-
- 6) Occasional moments of comedy and humor.
-
-
- And that's about it. I don't know about everyone else, but when
- I wake up in the morning, the last thing I care to do is listen to
- a guy who sounds like he is on the rag 90% of the time."
-
- To tell you the truth, his repetition concerning his tape does get annoying,
- but I find everything else Howard does to be very funny. I guess you just have
- to give him a chance. Like others have said in this group, there are things
- that people find offensive, but those same things will not bother others. He
- wakes me up in the morning. If I'm in a bad mood, he usually cheers me up.
-
- At least stay around for awhile to check out his Best Of shows.
-
- Happy Holidays
