Radio

I removed the following as it was out of place where it was inserted:

Also a popular radio show on Raw Dog 104 on Sirius Satellite Radio.

If the show is worthy of a Wikipedia article then it should have a stub created and a disambiguation link added to the top of this pointing to the show's own article. --68.164.170.71 08:37, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Famous Sketches section

Sooo... is this actually a popular cult show with several genuinely well known and widely well regarded sketches .... or was that section just written by a fan of the show detailing their personal favourites and trying to disguise it? Some citing would be handy to offer a little background or proof. 77.102.101.220 (talk) 22:51, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, the original author of this article seems to be playing a little fast and loose with the definition of the word "famous." Spiderjeru (talk) 04:54, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I added the notice to a german version. 77.183.205.200 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 16:36, 1 December 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Ronni's Name

...as all the performers traditionally used their own names in sketches, humour was able to be drawn from the attractive female Ronni being referred to with what is a stereotypically male name (Ronni being short for Veronica).

Um, what? I watched every episode of the first season on TV and own the DVD - there's not a single joke about Ronni's "stereotypically male name". 60.226.65.51 (talk) 11:47, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I've waited and there's been no reply, so it's gone. 60.226.65.51 (talk) 09:25, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Notable sketches?

In the absence of sourcing, this seems both excessive and OR. If no-one can produce RS demonstrating why these sketches are worth mentioning, I'd suggest deleting 90 per cent of this. Gusworld (talk) 09:16, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The last two episodes of the American version

The article states that episodes 5 and 6 were aired after the series was cancelled, but I can't find anything online to support this - all episode guides seem to have blank airdates for these two. Can anyone back this up? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.78.0.68 (talk) 15:52, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Notable Sketches

As mentioned before this section seems to be a list of sketches written by fans of the show that are not truly noteworthy. What constitutes a sketch being notable? Isn't this objective, something that is personal to each viewer? Therefore surely this goes against WP:NPOV? The only noteworthy sketch, in terms of well known is the therapy sketch, but is it really THAT notable that it is worthy of a mention outside a description of the show? I suggest this section be removed. - Tommi1986 (talk) 13:12, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If no objections by 22 February 2021, I will rewrite this section. Tommi1986 (talk) 12:35, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
