What kind of moron plays hardball when your replacement is already in the studio, actively replacing you?

It wasn't even really a "read between the lines" situation; Howard was demonstrating that Jackie was no longer needed, right to his goddamn face.

The problem is that Howard seems to have believed that Jackie was no longer needed. I still think the show was funnier with Jackie, and getting rid of him damaged it.

"Was it good?"
"Well...uhh, I think... it had a lot of great scenes! If you break it down scene by scene... I think my favorite scene is the podracing scene, I'm kind of seeing it again just for that. (Read: the rest of the movie sucked)... I think it's being judged on a different scale than most other movies... It's a little slow going in, but I think if you have patience, it pays off."

Must suck to be the kind of guy who would dress up because you love the series so much, and then George Lucas just takes a giant poo poo on your face.

I saw that movie at least three times as a kid. Granted I could not explain a lick of it, and just enjoyed it because the mania was that huge at the time. Scott letting his kid out to see that movie is dumb but super low on the list of dumb things parents do. But holy poo poo that Sal call

Er, let's be clear here RE: Jackie. Howard saved Jackie's rear end multiple times from getting canned by Tom. I'm working through the complete year of 1994, and even back then Jackie was barely keeping his job because he was such a monumental pain in the rear end about money. In fact, in the show I just finished, Howard talks about how he had to have a private negotiation with Tom and the other higher-ups to convince them to keep Jackie around, because they were so pissed off at Jackie for writing a formal resignation letter (signed by his wife Nancy of all people) to try to squeeze them. The only between difference Jackie in 1988, and Jackie in 2001, is that Howard was sick of defending Jackie.
Jackie seemed like a horrendous pain in the rear end to work with, but he was great on the show. Being a lovely person isn't enough to get cast out of Howard's life though, because how else do you explain Ralphie Cakes?

I think Richard and Sour Shoes make Howard seethe. Neither of them are successful in Howard's eyes, but both seem content and pleasant. I recall several rants where Howard rages at Richard to grow up, and Richard gives the best possible reply which is something along the lines of "huh huh...yeah". Howard can't fathom happiness if you aren't a millionaire and 'the best'
Or the intern that left to bicycle across the country. Howard was furious that he wasn't "building up his career", when being fresh out of school in your early 20s is THE time to do things like that. One of my good friends took a year to go backpacking in South America and Europe right out of school, and to this day he reminisces about how great it was. (For context, he's now in his 40s. And successful professionally. Go figure!)

I left my job to backpack Central America for 4 months and never once was it a hinderance in an interview. And I'm a CPA so you cannot find a more uptight profession. I even put it on my resume to explain the gap.

Here is how it goes every time.
Interviewer: "So after working at X CPA Firm, you traveled around Central America for 4 months?"
Me: "Yep, it was my dream, I knew I only had one chance, so I did it."
Interviewer (every single time): "I wish I did that when I was younger"

Honestly, I think it helped. This was back when the economy sucked rear end and I got a call back on a ton of jobs. It at least made my resume stand out. Every single person asked about it and thought it was awesome.

A good point... but at least then he would be able to make fun of their behavior on the air. With his real kids, he has to talk them up on the air, say how "amazing" and "wonderful" they are without giving any specifics. And you just know that eats at him.

They're silver spoon kids, it's not like work ethic disappears by generation, only with wealth.

People get away with exactly as much as you let them anyway. Work ethic is learned and if you have parents that bust their rear end and want you to bust your rear end you will probably have a good work ethic. Much the same even if your parents have a good work ethic if they don't make demands of you then you will probably be lazy and entitled and throwing real wealth into the situation only makes it worse.

Also, in fairness, I think one of them turned out fine, just went to school and got a normal job. Actually maybe it's 2 of the 3? I know Emily is the weird Zoo Za Zoo one but all I seem to recall about the others is one I think graduated from NYU's fashion school and got some industry job.

That BaBaBooey 25 is a good listen, and I'm only through part three. I have heard the "Reese's" incident refered to, but don't actually know what it is, so I'm looking forward to that.

The funny thing is that Richard looks like the leader of the Children of the Corn, and I'm not sure that's unintentional.

Also, Dennis Hof no longer needs a midget to pump up business after a celebrity overdosed at one of his brothels.
