From an article I read, it said that his contract with the show wasn't renewed. But there was some kind of screw up that his agent made and his agent has since been fired and is now being sued by Vance.\n\nThere was an article on cnn.com but I went to go click it to double check it was still working before I posted it but the article is no longer up.

1 reason is for MARKETING. After that sex case he had with that girl in colorado, ppl stopped buying his jersey, and he stopped making national commercials on TV. He then decided to change to 24 so that fans can buy his new jersey for money.

'Tom Arnold' hated the infamous Rooster and Egg shirt so much that Roseanne did not wear it on the show while they were married. After they divorced, the shirt was present in some way (either worn or shown in the laundry) in every episode. But Roseanne didn't stop there. The pattern was also made into an apron for the diner and even featured as a poster print hanging on the wall. In one episode, each cast member ends up wearing the Rooster and Egg shirt. Even Andy.

I heard awhile ago he was let go from DOOL. They brought in a new head writer who wants to go in a new direction that Patrick didn't fit into. That's the reason they're making Hope's baby Bo's. (won't be found out for awhile though) I heard that he was going to try and kidnap Hope and leave the country with her and the baby and he'll be gone shortly after that (shot? escape and disappear? who knows) I am sad that's he's leaving because he is very easy on the eyes but I  don't like the direction they took his storyline.

Did you just come out from under a rock??? The NBC Friend's show ended because all the friends wanted to keep a good thing good before it went downhill and they wanted to pursue new opportunities

About 13 years ago Jerry Springer used to be a cool, "real" show with great topics.  It later becamethe circus it is now, and almost all of it is staged.  I miss the old jerry show, it really was a great show.  I dont know why he changed it, but it Was a mistake.  The show is now idiotic and I'm surprised it is still on the air, but someone must be watching it!

The Monkees' audience booed the Jimi Hendrix Experience (they were still together at that point) off of the stage.  Jimi Hendrix quit the tour after only a few shows because he was insulted by the lack of enthusiasm for his type of music from the Monkees fans.

Recently on your America Online site you posted your old column about Rock'n Rollen Stewart, the guy who used to hold up those "John 3:16" signs at sports events. You may be interested to know that Stewart is now serving a life sentence in jail. --Name withheld, via AOL \n\nCecil replies: \n\nYipes. I lost track of Rollen after talking to him in 1987. At the time he struck me, and I'd say most people, as a harmless if obsessed flake. Shows how wrong you can be. A few years later Stewart went completely off his nut, staged a series of bombings, and wound up in prison after a bizarre kidnapping stunt. The whole story is told in The Rainbow Man/John 3:16, a new documentary by San Francisco filmmaker Sam Green. If you doubt that too much TV is bad for you, you won't after seeing this flick. \n\nStewart's problems started during his childhood in Spokane, Washington. His parents were alcoholics. His father died when Rollen was seven. His mother was killed in a house fire when he was 15. That same year his sister was strangled by her boyfriend. A shy kid, Rollen got into drag racing in high school, married his first love, and opened a speed shop. But his wife soon left him. Crushed, he sold the shop and moved to a mountain ranch where he became a marijuana farmer, tried to grow the world's longest mustache, and watched a lot of TV. \n\nIn 1976, looking for a way to make his mark, Rollen conceived the idea of becoming famous by constantly popping up in the background of televised sporting events. Wearing a multicolored Afro wig (hence the nickname "Rainbow Man"), he'd carry a battery-powered TV to keep track of the cameras, wait for his moment, then jump into the frame, grinning and giving the thumbs-up. Rollen figured he'd be able to parlay his underground (OK, background) celebrity into a few lucrative TV gigs and retire rich. But except for one Budweiser commercial, it didn't happen. \n\nFeeling depressed after the 1980 Super Bowl, he began watching a preacher on the TV in his hotel room and found Jesus. He began showing up at TV events wearing T-shirts emblazoned with "Jesus Saves"-type slogans and various Bible citations, most frequently John 3:16 ("For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son," etc.). Later accompanied by his wife, a fellow Christian he married in the mid-80s, he spent all his time traveling to sports events around the country, lived in his car, and subsisted on savings and donations. He guesses he was seen at more than a thousand events all told. \n\nThis brings us to the late 80s. By now Rollen had gotten his 15 minutes of fame and was the target of increasing harassment by TV and stadium officials. His wife left him, saying he had choked her because she held up a sign in the wrong location. His car was totaled by a drunk driver, his money ran out, and he wound up homeless in LA. Increasingly convinced that the end was near, Rollen decided to create a radically different media character. He set off a string of bombs in a church, a Christian bookstore, a newspaper office, and several other locations. Meanwhile he sent out apocalyptic letters that included a hit list of preachers, signing the letters "the Antichrist." Rollen says he wanted to call attention to the Christian message, and while this may seem like a sick way to go about it, it wasn't much weirder than waving signs in the end zone at football games. In any case, no one was hurt in the bombings, which mostly involved stink bombs. \n\nOn September 22, 1992, believing the Rapture was only six days away and having prepared himself by watching TV for 18 hours a day, Stewart began his last "presentation." Posing as a contractor, he picked up two day laborers in downtown LA, then drove to an airport hotel. Taking the men up to a room, he unexpectedly walked in on a chambermaid. In the confusion that followed he drew a gun, the two men escaped,

I love that show!  But no, I would just bail out and move on.  I wouldn't hire them to put it on national TV.  That's like going on Springer to air your dirty laundry!

The show sucks big time now.  Randy is okay and everything but you don't have the Kelso character anymore.  Randy's character just replaced Eric.  Plus, they never hang around each other anymore.  They are just all over the place and I don't get what's up with Jackie.  What happened to her mother and when is Hyde and his wife going to move out of the basement?  The show just needs to be cancelled already.  For godness sake it is almost the 80s.

I think Jerry Springer is a waste of time.  I use to watch him all the time, now, it has just become a sideshow for a circus.  Maury is okay.  But its the same old thing over and over.... Who is the daddy? LOL. Ricki Lake was pretty good, so was Jenny Jones, whatever happened to them?

I had been out of town for a couple of weeks and was shocked to hear the guests one after another being carted away.  I heard a quick blip one morning on the way to work where Bob said, "In case you didn't know, Amy's contract came up for renewal and the company decided not to renew it."  Interesting...I'm with y'all.  That girl was out at least once every two weeks.  Capital Broadcasting probably got fed up with it.

Yes, he is. Bob Barker will be leaving "The Price is Right" after 35 1/2 years in June. He says that he will do a lot of animal charity volunteer work and will make cameo appearances in films if the right role comes around. He jokes and also says that he doesn't want to do nude scenes though because he doesn't want to be remembered as a sex symbol. Bob Barker is one great person and will truly be missed. He also said he won't end the show in some spectacular fashion, but will stick with the traditional "Help control the pet population. Have your pets spayed or neutered." which is the way he should go out. See ya, Bob. You'll be missed.
