I cancelled mine a month ago. No new stuff when therey are on vacation, which has been nearly half the summer. Next on the cancellation list is Sirius itself.
August 28th, 2008 at 10:47 am

I would never cancel sirius. They have incerdible programming and music besides Stern. I could never bare to listen to regular radio again, I listen to the radio over 8 hours a day and sirius makes it feel like 2.

GOODBYE, HOWIE
August 28th, 2008 at 11:53 am
man people have problems, the stiletto makes you skip the commercials and allow you to do other things. relax guys its better radio than anything out there.
August 28th, 2008 at 12:27 pm
I will not cancel…oh, yeh, right, I have a lifetime membership anyway.
But, this weeks “specials” have been THE LAMEST.
I have the “starmate replay” so, most of the time I just blow through all the lame fucking shit ass music rehearsals and dumb fucking “competitions”
FUCK…. THIS WEEK SUCKS!!!!

to answer artie fan - I have been listening religously since 1991. I am probably exaggerating threatening to cancel Sirius - but I never even thought I would say it. He has definately jumped the shark and is ever so quickly becoming Imus - that being said the show is still the best thing on radio.

I have to agree..this is the worst week in show history. But I’m not mad at Howard. He’s not doing anything different than what Johnny Carson did at the end of his career. And to be perfectly honest, the man can do whatever he fucking wants at this point. He’s earned the right, don’t you think?
August 28th, 2008 at 2:51 pm
I have had tons of problems with my S2. One already died on me and Sirius customer service BLEW. Dumbest people on the planet. My second one gets full bars, but not audio most of the time. It also decides to stop recording the show on its own. At least Grandma Caprio has been cracking me up this week. Thanks for that!

The topic of “The Losers” is absolutely pathetic for an entire week of radio.
I listened to part of day one, and have not listened since.
The puppets being spotlighted would be far better. Eric the Midget being spotlighted would be far better.
LIVE SHOWS would be much better.

I know all of the other bands suck as much as the losers, but REALLY? they win all the time? I thought Doug Flutie’s band was much better, and I love April Wine so FAFA FLOWHI
August 28th, 2008 at 4:20 pm
Can blow me
August 28th, 2008 at 8:42 pm
HTV fucking sucks with Comcast. They never fucking update it. Eight new ones have been added and they still aren’t fucking up from a week ago. Some of the videos don’t even fucking work. I have only had it for two weeks and it’s fucking horrible service.
August 28th, 2008 at 10:35 pm
the only thing worth hearing this week was the James Brown and Stevie Wonder. And I’m sure they won’t make the sickeningly repetitive “best of the week” garbage.

FUCK…. THIS WEEK SUCKS!!!!
And the 4 day cock sucker palooza last week, yeah that was some really great programming.
Day 1
Segment 1: Discussion with George about being a dick sucker. George states that it’s all about diversity and that what makes this country great. Oh my.
Segment 2: Second discussion with George about being a dick sucker. George states that it’s all about diversity and that what makes this country great. Oh my.
Segment 3: Third rambling discussion with George about being a dick sucker. George states that it’s all about diversity and that what makes this country great. Oh my.
Repeat the above for days 2 thru 4.
George was the only celebrity on the whole week. And that is broadly defining celebrity to include a 70 year washed up actor turned ass cowboy.
They cast and crew of this show has really gotten lazy as far as creativity is concerned and they are living on their past laurels. It’s really evident when they are doing the news. Howard: “Is that all Robin” or “are we done robin”? They put more effort into the Howard 100 News breaks than they do the rest of the show.
Who cares about all the Ralph Howard news segments when the content of the rest of the show is pathetic?
Compare last week to a week of from one of today’s “best of” show.

This is one randomly selected week. It may not be the best week of all time but at least the effort was made to book new guest every day. I guess it is hard to book guests when you are at home admiring your new man cave. “You should see my new basement, Boffff.”
Nobody begrudges anyone on the show their money; we would just like to see them earn it. You would think them paying us $13 a month.
Let’s face it folks, the Howard Stern show is dead.
Long live the king.

Jeremy I have the same problem with my HTV I find resetting the cable box (unpluging for a min) loads up the new content
August 29th, 2008 at 10:42 am
Devastating and accurate insight, Clemenza.
Howard was much better when he was non-partisan, and non-agenda driven. So was the show.
“Are we done, Robin?” KISS MY ASS.
August 29th, 2008 at 10:57 am
at least the 4 day cockusckinpalooza was live. And had some very funny “Artie getting sick over it” moments. This week is just feeble.
August 29th, 2008 at 12:14 pm
^ True, true.

It was live.
????
It was, how could you tell?
I’m sorry, but last week was . . . .
“Let’s do the least possible before we all go on a two week break” programming,
and it showed!
August 29th, 2008 at 12:43 pm
comeon, it was Takai’s gay bachelor week. I’m not complaining about Howard’s comedic choices, only the vacation time/loser week replay. I enjoyed all the other vacation replay stuff (roast week, Jackie, and the history of Stern I particularly loved as a lifetime fan)

“comeon, it was Takai’s gay bachelor week”
The operative word being “week”.
Enough said!

This week sucked but oh well… he has F You money, right?
And Steak 4-2-4-1 - try updating your stiletto’s hard drive. I was having that problem with my Stiletto 1 and I downloaded updates and it works fine. Seems like you have to update it every couple months.
HAPPY LONG WEEKEND EVERYONE!!! Bummer summer’s over tho :o(

I’m black and I’m proud!
August 29th, 2008 at 5:32 pm
I canceled my Howard TV also. The “new shows” they would put up when they were on vacation were always just B list celebrities that weren’t interesting enough to be put on Howard TV right after their visit. That would have been half of this month right?
August 29th, 2008 at 6:03 pm
You are correct Stan.
August 29th, 2008 at 8:02 pm
Are they on vacation next week as well?!?
Oh, yeah. Labor day.
Good lord. What the heck is next week’s theme?
Seriously. I need info. Thanks!
August 29th, 2008 at 10:35 pm
Next week’s theme:
Howard’s nutsack. Every time howard mentioned the word “sack”.
August 31st, 2008 at 10:31 am
mqone. I tried that the other day with no luck. Fucking pisses me off.
September 1st, 2008 at 9:04 pm
Howard TV has gotten soooo bad. I thought it was just me being picky. I struggle to find stuff on there now. The daily updates are lame, and when they do update things they put 45 minutes of sheer boredom, with 3 minutes of something interesting tacked onto the end. Shit editing. I knew when Takai joined the crew that first day things might go downhill. Honestly that one appearance wouldve been enough. The guy isnt funny, hes not funny to goof on, and Howard and Robin get extra righteous when he’s around. Thank god for Artie calling them out for doing a show that said “fayg” or ripped on gays for 25 years prior.
Its also real annoying that HowardTV “saves” dated clips for when the show is on vacation.
“oh right, heres that tommy chong interview i heard 8 months ago….*click*”
