Loveline

What the hell do Adam Carolla's rants have to do with Loveline anymore? Loveline used to be about providing help for dealing with deeply personal problems. I've been a long time follower and I tune in to listen to people like me open themselves up; not to hear you vent your frustrations about the beeping garbage trucks or the lousy traffic signs on L.A. freeways, Adam. (Oh! And get some new material jackass! Stop spewing the same crap from the radio show on your new TV show. Its wasn't funny the first time!)

I was hooked from the first time I saw Loveline on MTV (1996). I still religiously tune in to the radio show although lately I find myself switching stations frequently. Even after being around for so long, there is still nothing else like it on anywhere today. It helped me mature and learn to accept myself. It helped me realize I wasn't alone in being the way I am. It used to be full of non-judgemental objective advice from two guys that got it. Now its just another talk show. Bogus!

Even Dr. Drew has lost it; cutting off callers (who've patiently been waiting for hours) before they get to their question; patronizing and summarily categorizing them. What happened to your bedside manners Dr. Drew? If you're bored and tired of repeatedly dealing with these same issues, why don't you pass the reins to someone new and enthusiatic?
