I'm not sure but I think it was about the same. But keep this in mind. B&B took the afternoon ratings much higher then North ever had them. MJH still beat B&B but they made a drastic improvement. I wonder what North thought when he saw that. He probrally said. "I wuda done dat too, it was just a madder of time" Do you ever think he admits failure to himself. I know he'll always blame everybody else in public. But I wonder in private if he realizes what a failure he has been.

This question is a great idea for one of your or Pappy Crappy's comedy bits.

Setting: Pappyland (kitchen and the HOF)
Principals: Pappy, Bebe, Lic, Jen Jen, Knuckles, Fritzy, hot niece.

You can add Fred in the garage ArmorAll-ing the wheels on the Jag and the Caddy.

Pappy's Crappy hasn't posted since the board went to registered only. Hmm..that's interesting. Is there a reason he can't register? Score employee? I do miss his bits. They were gold.

Here I am. No, I'm not a Score employee. I got fed up with all the spam on the board and then when it was fixed, I got busy and never got around to registering. Thanks for remembering me and reminding me!

I thought Fred and Murph was a much better show in the morning. Murph was actually...hell, somewhat likeable in the morning slot. What do you guys think? Still a douche in the mornings too? Or at least not as bad with Fred?

Sure it could used some more bits, etc, but it was a solid show with FACTS

As I current Murph backer, I thought Murph sucked in the mornings. He was not able to keep up with the pace of mornings. Fred was even worse. He was brought on to be the Sox fan to Murph's Cub fan. As a precurser to Tranny, he never generated a Sox discusssion and agreed with every point Murph made .

As I remember Murph's first morning show (the two-hour version), it was something to the effect of:

Two minutes talk
Three minutes commercials
One minute taking calls
Three minutes with guest on phone
Five minutes commercials
One minute with guest on phone
Two minutes talk
Five minutes commercials
Two minutes talk
Two minutes commercials

etc.

It sounded horrible, had too many commercials, sounded rushed...Oh, wait, I guess that's still how his show is today...

more bits? Just off the top of my head I remember these from the old (s)Murf morning show (and I'm sure I forgot a couple)....
