Howard just announced that Crossing Over has been cancelled! :D

He was calling JE a fraud and basically making fun of him. "I'm getting a message from my dead grandpa Saul. JE is cancelled"

Then he mentioned that James Randi is a great debunker but doesn't seem to be around anymore!

Maybe we should email him (?) with the link to this site. My understanding is that Howard's web site plugs always lead to many many hits.
 
We don't get Howard Stern here in Minneapolis but I sent them an email anyway with the randi.org address.
 
Good for Sci-Fi! (Assuming it's true. I didn't see anything about it on their website for the show.)

They've been getting more and more woo-wooy for the last several years, giving up good, honest science fiction (still bitter over Farscape) in favor of hyping paranormal garbage.
 
I don't know if it's true either but that's what Howard said.

I emailed him as well. I also told him about the Sylvia clock. I thought it sounded like his kind of thing.
 
Stern Show News (unofficial)
Howard said there was good news today. He read that John Edwards' show ''Crossing Over'' is finally being canceled. Robin said her prayers had been answered. Howard said he didn't know how that show made it that long. He read the press release from the show and pointed out what a phony that guy was. Artie said that there was a great bit that Penn and Teller did where they exposed the phony psychics. They talked about that for a few seconds before moving on to other stuff.

That's about all I can find.
 
If Sylvia appeared on the Howard Stern show, would he ask her to show her breasts? :eek:

Gaaad, ya just made me spit out a mouthful of Paper City Wee Heavy Winter Palace. Now I've got to lick the floor.

Sheesh, I'd pay money to get a heads-up so that I could be sure to look the other way.
 
imagine beetlejuice riding on sylvia's back, in a dirty jockey outfit,
spanking her with a dead mackerel.

Thank you for that image. I just had to blind my minds eye.
 
It's still a small victory, even if CO is still going to be on the Sci-Fi network. This means that CO will have less exposure. Less exposure means that believers will soon forget about him.

I do wish Sci fi channel would stick with honest scifi shows instead of fiction portrayed as reality.

Battlestar Galactica 2003 was a great show!
 
But really, isn't the Sci Fi (which is, after all, short for Science Fiction) the best place for Edwards to be showing?
 
So what comes next in the career of this great medium...

I see a great future ahead, one involving 3 AM infomercials which involve knives that can cut through cans without ever beginning to dull...

The thing that got me was when they said the show had been failing for the last 3 seasons. I never would have imagined that he had been doing that poorly. It made me so happy.

The thing that kills me is that every time I wander past a cable box and turn on the Discovery Channel or The Learning Channel all I ever see is a Ghost/Lochness Monster/UFO show. Even the Travel Channel does it!?

But there's a difference between Science Fiction and Fictional Science.
 
When CO was in its initial prime of woowoo flurry, scifi gleefully went about cancelling projectys in favor of a bunch of John Edward style programs. A dream interpetation show and a bunch of other junk came in place of FarScape. To my knowledge, few of these had much staying power.

So what is it about woowoo's and their lack of long-term ratings power? A show like CO got ratings most shows dream about, and they're cheap as dirt to produce. Yet now it s cancelled.

I've heard it called Omni magazine syndrome, where the pandering to the woowoo market leads to great success at first, then results in the death of the market.
