Friday, March 28, 2003 at 10:15 AM Just got to thinking about this, and i know there isn't much to the loveline timeline, but thought i'd put something together for just my own knownledge. if you can add to this, for sure add! :)
Also, PLEASE correct me with the correct facts, these are all just my random vauge knowledge from listening for a while: ~1983? - Dr. Drew Pinski begings doing 'Loveline' by himself at Westwood One(?). At this time he doesn't get paid, he is still in medical school at USC, and is doing it because ... (why?) internship credit?) The show is on only on Sunday nights, and isn't on KROQ, is it? it is on a low-band radio broadcast that only transmits to the LA area. 'midnight to 3 am' according to this transcript: http://www.dolland.net/loveline/transcripts/changed.html ~1985? he starts hosting with a partner named "Poorman" right? is that the first name? last name? This is the co-host till Adam joins up ~1992 the show moves to 5 nights a week ~1992-1995 'Rikki Rachtman' cohosts with Drew? ~1995, Adam Corolla joins the show ~1998-2000 'Loveline' the MTV show is on the air. Co-hosts are Adam and Drew with Diana Farre? and another girl for a little bit. "I think the show definitely used to be less of me yapping about the gays." -Ace —Tyler |

Friday, March 28, 2003 at 11:08 AM Nicely done. Thought I'd add info on Poorman. Jim "Poorman" Trenton actually created the show, but was fired in '93 after some dispute. Info here:

Adam replaced him sometime later, then, when they got the MTV show, Poorman sued, and I reckon he lost... —Frope |

Friday, March 28, 2003 at 5:35 PM I believe Drew's last name is spelled Pinsky (Y not I). I could be wrong. Also, the 'fact' that Poorman created Loveline has always been in debate, with Poorman saying he created it, and Drew/Westwood One/Our legal system saying that he did not... I just wouldn't state it as a fact. —Kevin U. |

Friday, March 28, 2003 at 5:39 PM It is indeed spelled Pinsky. In fact, his actual name is Dr. David Drew Pinsky. I don't know why he goes by his middle name. —Eric |

Friday, March 28, 2003 at 10:22 PM Dr. Drew didn't use his first name because he wanted people to be assured he wasn't hosting the show to boost his personal practice. At least this is how I remember him explaining it to a caller who questioned him about it a little while back. —Mr. Mason Jar |

Saturday, March 29, 2003 at 10:14 PM The Loveline TV Show had rotating female c-host (although I don't think it was SUPPOSSED to be rotating, I think they just kept trying to find the right one who gelled with Adam and Drew). They had Diane Farr, as well as Laura Kightlinger, Kris Magaha, Catherine McCord and I believe Carmen Electra for a short while too. (spellings are guessed on a few of these). Diane was the best, Laura was pretty good too. Kris was completely annoying, Electra, to no shock, was dumb as a post and boring, and Catherine was unmemorable. —Logo Lou |

Tuesday, December 2, 2003 at 3:25 AM On the off chance some reads this ever again.... ~1985? he starts hosting with a partner named "Poorman" right? is that the first name? last name? This is the co-host till Adam joins up~1992 the show moves to 5 nights a week ~1992-1995 'Rikki Rachtman' cohosts with Drew? I have a loveline episode from 1992 with Drew and Poorman. I'd imagine its on trig's site somewhere... I also have several that are just Drew and Rikki, and then later Drew, Rikki, and Adam all the did the show... Then, I think also for legal reason, Rikki left leaving Drew and Adam. —ZT |

Tuesday, December 2, 2003 at 8:38 AM Adam makes it sound as if the produces played Adam and Riki against each other to see who would be the best co-host. Seems like there aren't any hard feelings however and there's a show from 2001 where Riki comes in to plug his club. — |
