Sunday, February 12, 2006 at 9:24 PM What a deep analogy, my good sir. Loveline's final grunts are a bit more comprehensible, but only when Steve-o's not on. Discuss further. —Chrispy |

Sunday, February 12, 2006 at 11:06 PM first and foremost, to parapharse frank zappa, "loveline is not dead, it just smells funny." to say that it is straggling is to realize that drew has been the anchor of this show for twenty years. if it could survive drew being vomited on by fletcher, it can live on. what the show has to do--as i'm sure producer ann, trib reeb, and kevin weatherly realize--is to find someone (not steve-0) who can fill the void created by adam leaving the show and help to create that connection that drew has with somebody like danny bonaduce or even anderson. i, for one, continue to listen to this show nightly because it is vital to creating the notion that this show matters to people by showing that people listen when it is on the air. —sploozer105 |

Monday, February 13, 2006 at 11:32 AM can't we just have dr. drew join the cast of the adam carolla morning show and then syndicate it nationally? —weather and traffic Because, as has been explained before, Drew has a daily medical practice that would conflict with Adam's show. Now, syndicating Adam's show nationally, I personally can't think of anything barring that, but whatever. Anybody here still listen to the show regularly? —bill_b Every night. —Dark Laith |

Monday, February 13, 2006 at 2:22 PM Adams show is going to have problems being nationally syndicated because he is on the west coast. East Coast shows can just be shown on a 3 hour tape delay for the west coast, and Live in Central. You can't show a morning show a day later, especially one with news and sports. So either he moves to the East Coast, or works the graveyard shift, being on air 3-7, and then showing it on tape delay in LA. —rhino369 |

Edited Monday, February 13, 2006 at 3:11 PM So why couldn't his 6-10 morning show here be a 9-1 show on the East Coast (and of course at the appropriate times for the zones in between)? —Dark Laith |

Monday, February 13, 2006 at 3:34 PM I'm assuming that Infinitys goal is to get one morning show host, ala stern, for the whole nation. It could work as a 10-2 show on the east coast however. —rhino369 |

Tuesday, February 14, 2006 at 5:08 AM Loveline is not dead! One thing that I have noticed is that a lot of the references to things that was funny when Adam was co-hosting are being over looked by drew. I am not sure if he is trying to say Adam is not here anymore let's move on, or I did not think they were that funny in the first place I just went along to be a good friend. I think that this is what loveline was all about before Adam and all the media hype. Just a Dr. sitting down trying to have an open discussion with people about topics that may be uncomfortable or taboo in some situations. I think that more people are calling in and truely getting helped than what were helped when Adam was on. I liked Adam and I know that he brought a lot to the show, but there were times when him bagering the callers got a little old. As long as there is a voice out there and people in need of help Loveline will always be alive. —dalamar23666 |

Edited Tuesday, February 14, 2006 at 11:37 AM I agree, but here's the problem: a lot of people who listen to the show don't care about people being helped. They want to be entertained. And I despise them for caring only about that, but the fact is that a lot of listeners just don't care. —Dark Laith |

Tuesday, February 14, 2006 at 12:19 PM yes, hearing about dumb girls talking about getting pregnant from anal sex is much more entertaining than the morning news. Actually —mhgrant |

Tuesday, February 14, 2006 at 3:05 PM Loveline was around for 10 years before adam but for most of that it was a low rated once a week show, that Drew didn't get paid for. Although it started taking off before adam got there, he earned them most of their market. —rhino369 |

Tuesday, February 14, 2006 at 5:20 PM I agree, but here's the problem: a lot of people who listen to the show don't care about people being helped. Honestly, the reason I find it hard to listen anymore is that it doesn't seem like people are being helped. Drew powers through calls so fast that he can never get into an in depth discussion about anything. He needs someone there to stop and ask the tough questions, like, "What do you do for a living?" and "Juuuuuuuuuunior college?" Instead, he just gushes about how interesting the guest is, spouts his standard answers about various medical questions, and then punches up the next call. Most of the loveline callers need more guidance than this, plus the medical part of the show doesn't lend itself to comedy/entertainment (unless DAG is in studio). Drew needs someone who can address the non-medical side of people's problems. If a girl calls in and asks if she can get pregnant from anal sex, simply saying no and dismissing her doesn't help her very much. First off, a golden opportunity to make fun of a stupid person was missed. Second, someone calling in with a question like that probably doesn't have much of a direction or clue in life. Guiding people in the right direction is what I think loveline is all about. I miss the honest, open, and humorous discussions about life that have now been replaced by canned medical answers and a parade of guests. —no! cannot have! |

Tuesday, February 14, 2006 at 7:07 PM I hate to say this but I don't thing loveline has really influenced society at all and especially not now. The people who are interested in this type of advice are generally not the ones who really need it. —Hashmeer Shashmeer |
