One thing about Wells - he is engaged with the guest. It's plainly obvious to me that he does listen and asks relevant questions based on the context of the existing dialogue. 

Snoory, like has been mentioned so many times before, pulls content out of a fucking hat and is seemingly punching blind questions at the guest - as if he were just flipping through index cards.

I mean - if a guest is talking about something like canned beans, Wells will ask questions like, "Are these Boston Baked beans or yellow beans?" 

In Snoory's World, his follow up question would be, "...something is going to happen.  Can you feel it?" 

George isn't following the discussion and when he is, it's nothing but softballs.  He doesn't have the skill to make the mundane entertaining.

How many volumes of the same shit about George Noory can you people write about? How many of you have posted and re-posted the same fucking thing over and over again? For Christ's sake think of another topic to create so we can discuss something interesting please.

If Noory actually presented his audience with something that was interesting in the first place there wouldn't be a need for extended volumes of the same shit to be repeated here.

I'm not a radio producer but I would imagine that in an 8 hour day, I could come up with at least 2 weeks worth of topics and potential guests that would actually add to the show.  However, with Noory at the helm, I could summon Jesus himself for an on-air appearance and George would still find a way to fuck it all up.

Noory's kidnapping story consisted of one guy, who may or may not of been mexican, giving him a weird look while he was walking down the street. The rest of the story is made up bullshit. Who the hell would want to kidnap him? once they figured out who he was, they would pay him to go away.

When I hear it - it reminds me of this video:


10cc - Dreadlock Holiday [totp2]

First time, long time...

I got through the 90's as a late 20 year old college student listening to Art Bell here on the East Coast from 1am to 5am almost every damned night.

Fortunately for me, real life called back in 2000 and it was all about moving out of state for the 9am to 5pm routine.

I missed the final years of Art's reign on the radio and found myself one day tuning in late at night to see what Art had been up to and there was this guy, this George Noory fellow on air.  Assuming he was filling in for Art, I was shocked to find out that this WAS the show.  This guy, George Noory, filling Art's shoes.

That was a time ago.

For the last couple months, I've tried to give it another shot.  I really have tried to give this another chance and I can't do it anymore.  I check out the website and see the scheduled guests and topics and I have no interest.  Aside from the vapid guests and topics and Noory's scripted performance night in and night out, I simply can not give this guy or this show any more time.

Until the suits at Premier Networks make a change... ANY change... that attempt to resuscitate the format and give George his walking papers, I'm done.

I really am depressed at how awful this show has become and it might be me.  I might have wizened over the years and become more skeptical, matured or educated... but

Enough... I can't stand tuning in anymore.
