Radio

edit

I removed the following as it was out of place where it was inserted:

Also a popular radio show on Raw Dog 104 on Sirius Satellite Radio.

If the show is worthy of a Wikipedia article then it should have a stub created and a disambiguation link added to the top of this pointing to the show's own article. --68.164.170.71 08:37, 30 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Famous Sketches section

edit

Sooo... is this actually a popular cult show with several genuinely well known and widely well regarded sketches .... or was that section just written by a fan of the show detailing their personal favourites and trying to disguise it? Some citing would be handy to offer a little background or proof. 77.102.101.220 (talk) 22:51, 20 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, the original author of this article seems to be playing a little fast and loose with the definition of the word "famous." Spiderjeru (talk) 04:54, 9 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

I added the notice to a german version. 77.183.205.200 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 16:36, 1 December 2009 (UTC).Reply

Ronni's Name

edit

...as all the performers traditionally used their own names in sketches, humour was able to be drawn from the attractive female Ronni being referred to with what is a stereotypically male name (Ronni being short for Veronica).

Um, what? I watched every episode of the first season on TV and own the DVD - there's not a single joke about Ronni's "stereotypically male name". 60.226.65.51 (talk) 11:47, 12 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Well, I've waited and there's been no reply, so it's gone. 60.226.65.51 (talk) 09:25, 11 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Notable sketches?

edit

In the absence of sourcing, this seems both excessive and OR. If no-one can produce RS demonstrating why these sketches are worth mentioning, I'd suggest deleting 90 per cent of this. Gusworld (talk) 09:16, 1 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

The last two episodes of the American version

edit

The article states that episodes 5 and 6 were aired after the series was cancelled, but I can't find anything online to support this - all episode guides seem to have blank airdates for these two. Can anyone back this up? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.78.0.68 (talk) 15:52, 16 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Notable Sketches

edit

As mentioned before this section seems to be a list of sketches written by fans of the show that are not truly noteworthy. What constitutes a sketch being notable? Isn't this objective, something that is personal to each viewer? Therefore surely this goes against WP:NPOV? The only noteworthy sketch, in terms of well known is the therapy sketch, but is it really THAT notable that it is worthy of a mention outside a description of the show? I suggest this section be removed. - Tommi1986 (talk) 13:12, 15 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

If no objections by 22 February 2021, I will rewrite this section. Tommi1986 (talk) 12:35, 19 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
