it stinks now. Not only are the hosts, a big drop off from Art Bell, ( especially Connie Willis) but the show topics are also horrible.
This morning, they had the third rate 60’s band the Cowsills on. Who wants to listen to some 60’s never been band talking about singing with Dean Martin?

The Cowsills were basically the real life version of The Partridge Family.

Not every show can be about ET and The Squatch.

I agree. Art Bell was the best and I haven't had any interest in the show since he retired. Then you go and mention a show that actually sounds interesting. The Cowsills documentary on Showtime was worth checking out.

C2C, Art Bell and the 90's were like catching lightning in a bottle.

Everything after it was just aa cheap knockoff. Norry did a good job of filling on and guest hosting for Bell in the 90's but when they gave him the full reigns IDK, it was either him, the producers or something because they wheels quickly came off the bus.

Good times though, I still stream old C2C at night some times from various platforms. Even though I've heard most every episode I still find myself captivated by the callers and stories.

You need some 10 star general in your life to get you straight.

George Noory destroyed coast to coast. George and Art Bell were good friends but George's desire to be a face on TV and the face of coast to coast ruined the show. Art was about the show. George is about George.

There was a poster here who had a nightly thread where we talked about the on air episode. He was an Arky fan and I can't remember his name

He was very active but I have not seen him in a while.

This. The show took over a different direction once they moved to clear channel. George killed the show and its nothing what it use to be.
