They interacted better than Chuck & John do.<BR/>Basically, they were funnier, Little John as host is as funny as watching burnt toast! He was better as a side kick! I really can't believe the show made it this far. Plus John plays the same basic character in every skit, were Bob "Hoolihan" Wells was more versatile.<BR/><BR/>If Chuck is being pushed out the door along with John at "fun Center 8", the two of them should pack up their stuff and go to another station, & do newer skits!<BR/><BR/>Maybe they could teamup with "The Son Of Ghoul", or maybe not!<BR/>Big Chuck's Certain Ethnic character is still the best, along with Hoolihan's "Readings By Robert" , anything Art Lofredo did, & many Skit featuring Little John. Don't get me wrong John is quite funny, but he works better at one of the player, than the featured attraction!<BR/>This past week, was on the second time in the shows long run, that Herb "Soulman Thomas was given a special night, why?? I loved it though.<BR/>Until Next Time, Give Peace A Chance!<BR/><BR/>MattAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-67281538001030843322007-05-17T15:39:00.000-04:002007-05-17T15:39:00.000-04:00Bring back the Hoolihan and Big Chuck Show for one...Bring back the Hoolihan and Big Chuck Show for one episode!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-39931146292860611292007-05-17T10:07:00.000-04:002007-05-17T10:07:00.000-04:00Well then, maybe if I have reason to be awake next...Well then, maybe if I have reason to be awake next Sunday, I will tune in again.Cliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08322086604599640345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-56103728407121146312007-05-17T09:50:00.000-04:002007-05-17T09:50:00.000-04:00WIXY, Sadly, the articulate dude was not me.

The ratings are some of the highest nationwide, and much of that is due to the "local & veteran presence" of such icons as Big Chuck, Lil John, Dick Godard, Wilma Smith, etc. You'd think the WJW success would be a MODEL for other FOX affils nationwide, instead of corporate trying to tear down a legend.
