    Meredith Baxter-Beerney plays a battered woman in...

    And here is a batter. Barry Larkin steps in against...

    That was hilarious.

    How would you know that?
    The rest of the panel never had a chance to talk.

    Either way though, it's probably the best thing that could have happened to Buck's show.

    Hear, hear. I can't believe any of the clowns on this board are actually defending that unfunny drug addict hack. America today, indeed.

    Yes, they did. They were terribly boring. Artie picked up the slack...and then some.

    I think the theme of the thread is Mr. Moral Outrage shouldn't act shocked when Lange does his schtick.

    No, the theme is if someone gives you gift-wrapped shit, it may be a gift but it's still shit.

    So describe Richard Pryor and George Carlin for me, or does your list end at Red Skelton?

    Lange's self-destruction has ceased to be interesting on any level. Stern needs to fire him already.

    I love the Stern show, but Artie is painful to hear each morning. He's good for two things: repetitive stories about being a junkie, and gay jokes that even high school kids roll their eyes at.

    Very funny. Then Joe couldn't move along fast enough.

    I don't think much of Lange either, but a good host can handle a loose cannon like that, play off him, keep it moving. Buck was fail. Here's my picture with Paul Rudd when we were 18? Who gives a crap??

    If only they would have kicked their feet up, lit up a cigarette, called Buck a fag and made a hilarious Tony Homo joke. Then it would have been the best segment in the history of television.

    Again, Buck got what he paid for in this case. And any pub is good pub when you have a show that is that bad. But Lange hijacked that segment

    Put me the crowd that doesn't care about Artie Lange's "look how edgy I am" schtick or Joe Buck's crappy show. They are both dicks in their own special way.
