Everyone who has ever watched Flavor of Love and helped VH1 create his false sense of “celebrity” is responsible for this. So don’t start hating now….

I am not gonna lie I watch. Some stuff you can’t just help but look, laugh and shake your head. Honestly the show had some cute jokes. It won’t last. But you can’t hate on the man because he is trying to feed his village.

Has Chuck D recently been reached for comment on his former collaborator? I would be really interested to hear what he has to say.

I saw part of that lame show by accident the other night. I’m just disgusted I’ll never get those 7 minutes back. Flav is the poster-child for grown men being stuck in suspended adolescence still dressing like a little boy, pathetic.

Max, I remember Tavis Smiley hollerin’ at Chuck about it on his PBS show. I cannot remember exactly what Chuck D said, but I remember the content. Basically, he wishes Flav would STOP, but he knows there’s really nothing he can do about it.

About 3-4 years ago, I went to a “Legends of Hip Hop” concert here in Chi-ILL. P.E. was in the lineup, and this was right in the ‘heyday’ of the Flav/Brigitte Nielsen “era”.

So once Flav came out and did his thing, right after he did “911 Is A Joke,” he went on a x-rated tirade about his “relations” w/Brigitte. Chuck D was uncomfortable, irritated, you name it…

((SSSIIIGGGHHH))

Dead serious Chgo. I love the King of Queens and where I live it came on right after an episode earlier this week. Once I realized what I was watching I didn’t change the channel because I really wanted to give it a chance. After 7 minutes (with the first 5.5 straight buffoonery) I was done. Ya’ll can have Flav; I’m riding with Professor Griff (who recently lost 90% of his belongings in a house explosion) Harry Allen, Chuck and the rest of P.E.

I am a ‘new’ King of Queens fan–however–”Carrie” gets on my nerves sometimes… :-)

I got into King of Queens about a year ago. My new show is Two & A Half Men. I don’t know what it is about CBS sitcoms that you don’t like them until they are in syndication. The same thing happened to me with Yes, Dear and Still Standing

King of Queens is the best show ever.

Blaxx, I am with you on the whole syndication thing. I never watch these shows during their regular time. Maybe it’s the daily repetition?
