An interesting question, but I have to say, they are so intertwined that I'm not sure you can separate them. He needs his saint-like women to take comfort him after he has driven away the whorish women with his drinking.

You know, on second though it's his issues with women; while they are related, his drinking problem is more internal.

Well it's pretty obvious he's just searching for a girl exactly like his mother. Someone who takes care of him and cooks and cleans and doesn't say poo poo as he slowly (rapidly) kills himself with booze and god knows what else. I remember Artie constantly talking about how great Dana was and how much he cared for her and then in the same breath absolutely refusing to do anything whatsoever about all the issues that are preventing him from having any sort of normal healthy relationship. I think he pretty much flat out said "I'm just gonna keep doing whatever I want and I don't really care if anyone approves." He'd probably act the same exact way with women even if he wasn't an addict.

Seems about right, and thus, his rapid decline is ongoing.

His money and fame enable him. If he was a construction worker I'd wonder how far he would get with all of this.

I'm guessing he went back on the bottle to cope with losing Eric the Actor.

I seem to remember him (or someone on the show) saying that the worst thing for an addict is an endless supply of money and fame. Didn't he also say that people would come up to him at one point with free drugs? No way in hell would Artie circa 2009 have turned that down. I doubt present day Artie would, either. :sigh:

I'm pretty sick of Artie's nonstop loving "Poor Me" routine, why doesn't he try being a 3 foot tall crippled midget dwarf with rotten plum hands if he wants to be "depressed".

Just get off Twitter and hang yourself already if it's so bad.

That sounds like his deeply ingrained addiction. As long as there a reason to feel depressed, there is a justification to use. If he could suddenly realize how good he does have it (or could have it), he wouldn't use again, but that's not how it works.


When is Howard's current contract up? With the Robin's health and the show tightly circling the drain I don't see anyway he could continue past this term.

That clip really made me smile. It's so great to see the cast having fun together, yelling over each other not in an angry way, but in the way you do with your friends because you keep thinking of funny things to say. And at least Robin was INTERESTED. You couldn't get her to bet twenty dollars now.

15 months. Someone called in and asked him about extending his contract today. Howard pretended like he had no idea how long was left on it and had to ask the caller. I honestly can't see him sticking it another 4-5 years after this contract ends either.

Yeah I remember that. Howard got emotional talking about it and how he spoke with his mom when he was in jail and after his death.

I will always remember his goofy appearances.

Allegedly, he was cruising in his mom's car and trying to pick up a young girl, and by young I believe she was like teenaged but not 18. She freaked and he was taken in shortly after that. Langford did stories as time went on about his jail stint, but that the girl's testimony was not strong or something to that affect. He never went to trial, so we can only assume that he was innocent of those charges.

Yeah, he had a lot of problems, but dying in prison like that isn't right. He was only arrested for something and being held because of a previous probation. He never went to trial over it so who knows what he actually did.
