Does anyone know why the show canned the producer and the others? Was it that the ratings were so bad and they needed to add Danny B? Do you think it's the beginning of the end for the show? Sounds like they are desparate for ratings? Opnions on today's show? Sounds liek Carolla is not thrilled about sharing his show to such a degree..

I bet his show is starting to tank in the ratings. Danny Is a total a hole in real life and on the radio, thats why he was canned on the star 98.7 morning show in LA a few years back. I like Adam Corolla, but Ive always thought his show sucked from day one. Its not funny and never has been. I think his producer was painfully boring also.

Carolla said early this morning that the ratings in Los Angeles did not meet their target, so they retooled. I'll miss Dave Damashek, but he's a pretty acquired taste and probably doesn't reach the wide audience they're going for.

I really don't care for Bonaduce, and you know that management thought he would be a big draw because of his trainwreck image and TV show. His old AM drive show was awful, but at least he's not running this one. It is really unfortunate they made this move, as this is my primary morning listening, and I'm less inclined to listen, now.

I was a regular listener of Carollas' show (at least until my Sirius radio showed-up on the doorstep last September) and enjoyed what he did on-air; so he was listenable in my book.

Bonaduce is a train wreck, but also listenable because... well... we all like to watch train wrecks!

The problem here is with whomever thought that the 2 of them together would be good. I can only see bad coming from this union. My prediction: Adam will walk and Bonaduce will hang-on until someone wises-up and cans him.

Mikekolb,
If you have Sirius then you must listen to Howard. Did he have any insights or opinions? Is Artie still a train wreck? There was one radio personality who had just as many if not more issues than Bondauce. I saw him roasting William Shatner and thought he had to be totally drunk.

Sharonica: yep, listening to Howard for certain, and yep, Artie's still a wreck! IMHO, the Stern show has never sounded better. He's more relaxed and open than ever... and he's actually enthusiastic about going to work.

Howard's on vacation til 1/8, so I haven't gotten his take on the Carolla/Bonaduce story, but he's stated he holds no grudges or ill-will toward anyone on terrestrial radio at this point. He feels sorry for the restrictions they're under and actually wishes them well in the business.

He DID mention, just before Xmas, that he heard about the Carolla/Bonaduce pairing and felt badly for both of them, as each was a talent in their own right... but that's the extent of what I heard.

I think his years of therapy have served him well!

Whoops... an amendment to my post above: just found-out that Howard & crew are back from their vacation TODAY!

The channel was promo'ing a "best of '06" show scheduled to run 1/7, so I made an (incorrect) assumption that the show would start again live on 1/8.

But they're back now and I would urge anyone who ever liked Howard 'back in the day' to get a Sirius subscription... you'll not regret it.

Granted that he's not everyone's cup of tea, but he's a bonafide pioneer in the business and he's firing on all eight cylinders these days.

Isn't adding Bonaduce to your radio show like adding Ted McGinley to your sitcom?

Shark!

Of all Howards shows this week, only Tuesday was any good and they will probably take today (Friday) off because, well, it's Friday and they had the Name the fake game on. Sometimes the show is just down right boring.

Listened to it.....it's gonna come to blows one morning! Sounds like the two of them always competeing for the mic! And Bonaduce with that loud voice of his is kinda annoying! Corolla sounds kinda pissed! Celebrity boxing here we come!!!! LOL

What's wrong with the signal today? Some hispanic station keeps coming in. Very annoying!!

That's just the gradual changeover to all Spanish format. i Viva Ranchero !
