Why don't we get more new and exciting Loons on C2C?  It's always the same ol' motley crew.



I think it is because unknown loons ARE unknown. They are unpredictable. You have to think on your feet to interview one of those. No cue cards are possible - unless they have a book to promote.

But unknown loons (like Mels-Hole Mel) have no books from which to PREPARE questions. And Noory cannot think on his feet.

Noorys idea of making an interview more interesting is to talk about himself.

Also,smart loons,who have nothing to sell, would probably not find much pleasure in having to(try to) EXPLAIN their ideas to Noory. What would be the pay-off for them?

Not even questions from the phone lines would offer much relief: Screened, dumbed-down sycophants for the most part. Gone are the days when professionals from all walks of life would call in to share their views and questions.

The audience George seems more aware of are his listeners in prison. He mentions them all the time.  No more cops and nurses, or pilots or engineers. Truck drivers rarely call in anymore w/ their strange stories.

Lately C2C has guests on the show who would be more at home on Oprah or Dr Phil.

For anybody that listened to Ian tonite(Fri), what did you think of his opening and his view of the Steve Quayle situation?

I couldn't care less.  The only thing he needs to apologize for is his topics.  He needs to fill in for Larry King - not C2C.

Ian would do well as a fill-in for Larry King but not C2C.

 Punnet doesn't like to do paranormal C2C shows. . You know, a lot of Ians favorable reputation stems from the impression that he is just "such a nice guy". But the truth is that he isn't such a nice guy. He gets shrill and testy very quickly. And he is just not going to do shows on the paranormal topics.

I don't expect too much out of Noory anymore.  It's Ian that I'm disgusted with.  He doesn't seem to know what C2C is about.  Yeah, yeah, yeah he's intelligent, has a  sense of humor, comes across as sincere, and does his research...BUT his topics are DULL: Lindberg baby,comic book writers, the Cooper mystery.  The backbone of the show has always been the paranormal but that doesn't matter to Ian.  He can't do a show on the paranormal  - what most people tune in to hear. It's "Oh boy! I'll do a show about comic books!  I LOVE comic books!  How lucky I am to do a show about comic books!"  It's a shame because he's talented.  But his topics are lame.
