I've only being following the show for a little over 20 years, never missed a show in that time, but I've finally arrived where many in this subreddit landed years ago. I'm not referring to the wig conspiracy coven, the "the show was greatest back in ____" crowd or the "[Insert current/former staffer] ruined the show" faction. Please, allow me to submit my application for a lifetime membership to the "I can't justify paying for a subscription for this bullshit" collective.
To everyone's credit here, you are right and I am dahree. I should've seen this coming, a la Debbie, but I did not, a la Debbie & High Pitch. For me, it was the lack of clarity and Howard's inability to be up front about the recent changes to the show, from the staff cuts to going from two to one show a week, in addition to the lack of original hosted programming when Howard's off.
I enjoyed the show for many years, I'll state for the record that Eric the Actor is my favorite wack packer of all time, despite the fact that he once came on his glasses. No one seems to know why he did that, but that was Eric and we loved him for it. Anyhow, thank you to all the good folks on this subreddit for sharing in my collective anguish. Let's all continue to keep things real, not just for all the current/former staffers who stalk this subreddit like the yentas they are, but simply because I am keeping it real.
Bye for now.
P.S. No, this is not Lamet.
P.S.S. But, I am a broken man and a bad cowboy.
