Kelly posted:Seriously though: how many people actually subscribe to Howard TV? A lot less than those who listen to the radio show. Lisa should ask the questions and Greg can tape her as she interviews them. Problem solved. Official numbers have never been released the same as almost all PPV entertainment except when it does a astronomical amount of numbers. PPV people don't want you to know how unpopular it actually is. The number I have always had was around a low six figure mark, with a high turnover rate and low longtime subscribers. Basically they are highly dependent on content and since they are not together enough to produce their own original content they basically hope something big visually happens on the show so folks will want to spend the 20 bucks a month to see it. They are double screwed with the advent of YouTube since any interesting clip is immediately online before they can get their rear end into gear. If Howard was smart he would have dumped InDemand this contract and gone online with his content. At the very least they should be using YouTube and the like as advertising for Sirius and InDemand. If there was a funny bit on the show, fire it up online that day, throw some advertising on it. At least then they are making a nickel off of the content online instead of Joe Shmoe. Yes, there isn't as much money to be made online right now compared to other media. But guess what in another 5 years or so that is going to change and it is already starting to change. The price the consumer has deemed entertainment to be worth is zero. You either need to figure out how to make money some other way or make a compelling enough product that people will spend money on it.

Did anyone catch that Norm will be on the show this month? He should just do the same thing he did years ago. "Hey Howard, I brought a friend with me, you should meet him. He is totally out of control" In walks Artie.

^^^^ Why would he do that? He's not gonna get any money out of it.  Ronnie probably now has a separate fridge just to keep his mambo cologne in. Lisa G is a creepy stalker. I would love Howard and the gang to play a prank on her where he invites her into a room and pretend to come on to her. She'd probably kill herself though.

She spends all her time obsessing over Howard and the show and associates herself with the likes of High Pitch Eric and other scum bag wack packers. I love the show and everything, but if my spouse was at that level, we would have serious issues.

Nothing makes me happier than when Howard talks up a song in his WNBC voice (like he did on Thursday with the Elton John/Leon Russell song) I don't know why but it always makes me grin like an idiot.

Cousin Brucie makes me lose control with laughter. Especially when he puts the huge coliseum reverb on while doing it. The other instant laugh for me is Richard doing the 'Ethel' character. Whoever is on the receiving end of the call inevitably call him 'sir' within seconds. "I've got one item, it's an item, and another older item..."

If it's the clip I think it is it's the one where High Pitch Eric is badly imitating many people in a prank call to Eric the Midget. The FIRE is him pretending to be Artie.

My office might have me committed at some point. I'm so thankful to have 2 other huge Howard fans in my team. It's great to have someone to talk to about the show. Sometimes we'll be listening on our computers with headphones on and you can hear us all laugh at the same time when something hilarious goes down.

I've listened to the first appearance of Artie at least a dozen times - rivals the Ash Wednesday story for best Artie thing. Stern's literally the only thing that keeps me from going insane at work - I'm in a car half the day with a guy who listens to nothing but jesus-freak radio. Stern in one ear makes it livable. On a side note: gently caress Focus on the Family. gently caress them in their stupid homophobic woman hating asses.

Bradley seemed really, really, REALLY reluctant to confirm anything about her, chances where they had known it was over. He wouldn't even say anything like he loved her. It felt pretty awkward and I think Howard was doing a good job of digging into it, but he kept bouncing back and forth between his father dying and the dude was clearly in shut down mode. Pretty interesting interview however. Bradley Cooper seems like a great guy, he must be having an amazing life right now.

I couldnt even listen to most of that conversation with his cousins. Its easy to tell people to go out and get all this equipment and eat organic food when you are a millionaire like they all are. The best part was when the first dude called up to talk to them and the FIRST words out of his cousins mouth are "What do you do for a living"

That conversation was maddening. It really made me upset with them spouting all of that non-scientific bullshit. Then an actual nuclear scientist came on to dispute them and no one in the studio gave him the time of day. I expect this craziness from Robin, but from Howard too...it really put me in a foul mood.

I remember back at the beginning of the whole Green Drink saga, Lisa G asked if she could have a real Doctor from one of Sirius' talk shows come in and comment on how crazy the diet was. She flat out refused. It's one thing to have a crazy idea on something but quite another to just shove your fingers in your ears and ignore logic.

So a caller finally forced Howard to speak frankly about Artie this morning. From what I gathered from it the reason why he isn't going to be on the show is that Howard is so neurotic he doesn't want to be involved or responsible. It is actually a fascinating look into how hosed up Howard's head is. It started about 10:30ish so it should be popping up on the West Coast feed anytime now.
