TiVo mention on Loveline
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Sorry if this is too sexually explicit for some, but it's much tamer than the front page of the NY Times during the Bill and Monica show.

Anyway, sometimes my wife and I listen to "Loveline" at night. It's a funny, national radio program offering sex advice, mostly to young people, many of whom are sadly pathetic. (Our daughter listened to it for years before we happened to turn it on one night when we were on a long, late car ride. It's rather explicit, but very funny, and the advice is often very good.)

Anyway, one of the hosts is a doctor, "Doctor Drew," and the other host is a gross comic, Adam Carolla. Last night, one of the callers was complaining that her boyfriend didn't appreciate oral sex. Drew joked that Adam liked oral sex so much that it was all he really needed in life. Adam said something like, "Yup, endless BJs and my TiVo, and I'm good for a long time."

Adam is/was one of the hosts of 'The Man Show' on Comedy Central as well. I think he's talked about his TiVo before on there, but I can't remember any specifics.

It was on TV in the mid-90's...not sure if it got cancelled or what but I used to watch it once in a while. (pre-TiVo days, or B.T.)

It was.. Called "Lovelines" on MTV. It was actually a seperate show, and not just the radio show on TV. Done in front of a live audience. It stopped running about 2 or 3 years ago, IIRC.

I listen to Loveline all the time. They give terrific advice. The callers are unbelievably stupid and the sound "drops" they play over them are funny. Adam isn't really a comedian in the classic sense, he's just one of those guys who rants and meanderings are amusing and occasionally hilarious. I have no idea what else he does other than piggy-back on Jimmy Kimmel's success. There's also a great behind the scenes clip of Loveline on the supplemental disc of the 1st season Osbournes DVD.

"Good times!"

"You're gay..."

"Bouncy bouncy"

According to IMDB the TV show was actually titled "Loveline" as well. This says it ran from 1996-2000. I only watched a few of the episodes... but I suppose they had their place. I didn't know the radio show was still ongoing. It was at one point broadcast on a local station near me, but when the show left the air waves so did the radio version. I though Adam had moved onto the man show and left that behind him. Good to see their still educating the confused teenage masses.

They air it in Dallas on 97.1 The only time I am listening to the radio that night is on the Thursday nights I fly back to Dallas from L.A. Listen to it in the car on the drive from the airport to the apartment.

It is a good show, and it's not really just sex talk like Dr. Ruth. It's mostly about realtionships. And there is a good dose of addiction thrown in their. Dr. Drew has a sub-specialty in adiction medicine.

The other night on Jimmy Kimmel Live they had a videotaped recording of Adam Corolla's TiVo on the Program Details screen with a rather, erm, humorous program description for This Old House. Jimmy introduced the segment by saying something along the lines of "TiVo is the greatest invention since the automobile".

I notice there's another thread mentioning this, but it seems to fit here also. :)

adam's best line about tivo was when he said they needed to invent it for women. and how...booty your way.

i don't know why mtv cancelled the tv show, i thought it was great - one of those many mtv shows you could put on just to have something on, and only half-pay attention to, and join or leave any time during the show.

adam's got an ISDN to his house now so that when artie is out, adam "sits in" on howard stern. this is some of his funniest stuff IMHO. adam and drew both did a guest spot on dawson's the other nite too.

The Loveline radio show is great, too bad they don't play it here in prudish Iowa, and I've never been able to find a good net feed to listen to. :(

The MTV show was also called Loveline, and it had a female cohost (Diane Farr?) as well, though it was never half as funny as the radio show because MTV censored them so heavily.

Which is one of my core gripes about MTV, I thought Rock 'N Roll was about rebellion and sticking it to the "man", but MTV is the biggest bunch of sellouts that have ever been involved with music, they wouldn't ever let Drew & Adam use the term "BJs" on MTV. :)

Loveline was originated at the famous LA alternative/rock station KROQ. As far as I know the show was first started by a former DJ named poorman, and as far as I know Dr. Drew was also the original partner to poorman, who established the tone of the show very early on, as poorman represented the adolescent male viewpoint, that's somewhat reflected to this day, although Adam is a very different and quite frankly far more intelligent individual than poorman. For a brief while prior to the Lovelines tv show, poorman even had his own local LA version of loveline without Dr. Drew, after he'd been fired off of KROQ. This suggests to me that Poorman may have actually been the originator of the show, for him to have gotten away with that, but I don't know the real story.

To this day, Loveline still originates from KROQ, and is very much a successful franchise, despite the TV show, and in many ways the radio format is just better suited to the subject matter.

Well this sparked my curiousity, so I decided to look it up, and found these stories from the la times and orange county register circa 1993.

KROQ-FM (106.7) deejay Jim (Poorman) Trenton was missing this week as host of the popular "Loveline" show after he angrily walked off in the middle of a broadcast and then was suspended.

Trenton said that he was suspended indefinitely Wednesday for leaving about 10 minutes into the show Tuesday night. KROQ deejays Doug Roberts and Tammy Heide have been filling in on the 10 p.m.-midnight advice show, which Trenton created.

Station officials were out of town and unavailable for comment. Trenton said they promised to discuss the suspension with him next Tuesday.

Trenton would not discuss why he walked off the show, saying he was in discussions with his attorney. Trenton's manager, Steve Levesque, said that the deejay had been upset at the start of the show and walked off after his co-host, Dr. Drew Pinsky, tried to get him to talk about what was bothering him.

"It was a culmination of a lot of tensions that he's been having with station management and it just came to a head at that moment," Levesque said. "And he made the creative decision at that moment to walk off."

Levesque said that Trenton has been unhappy about the way he's been treated for a while, citing management's "calling him to task for the content of the show and a series of things.

"I just think he feels his show is No. 1 (in its time period) and he doesn't feel he's being treated as well as other people at the station," Levesque said.

Jim Trenton, a..k.a. the Poorman, suspended Aug. 22 as host of the nightly program "Loveline" on KROQ/106.7 FM, says, "If they don't want me, they should fire me or let me out of my contract so I can find another job.

"They feel I'm uncontrollable," Trenton, 30, said of KROQ management, which he said took him off the air after he took 200 people to the home of KROQ morning personality Gene "Bean" Baxter at midnight. "It was a prank. I'm the master prankster, and they know that," Trenton said in an interview. "I was getting back at Kevin (Ryder) and Gene (Bean) Baxter for a prank they pulled on me 17 hours earlier. They knew it was my birthday, so they sent their Michael the Maintainence Man (Michael Burton) and Ed the Van Driver (Ed Krattiger) to my house.

"They knew where the key was, and they let themselves in. I woke up with them in my bedroom. So I went on the air later and said we were going to caravan to a celebrity's house to celebrate my birthday. We went to Bean's house at midnight. But his wife freaked out, and they took me off the air," he said.

KROQ is owned by Infinity Broadcasting. Trenton said Infinity President Mel Karmazin "told me taking 200 listeners to Bean's home was worse than having two of their people breaking and entering my home. I don't understand it. Kevin and Bean can apparently do no wrong. And the Kevin and Bean prank of waking me up was replayed throughout their show."

KROQ General Manager Trip Reeb wouldn't comment on Trenton's allegations.

Trenton started "Loveline" as a weekly show in 1983. "Loveline's" temporary host is Ricki Rachtman, host of "Headbanger's Ball" on MTV. "Loveline" airs 10 p.m.-midnight Sundays through Thursdays. It's been averaging a 12 share, four times greater than that of any other show in KROQ's lineup.
