I don't know, I'm kind of rambling and not really being clear because I guess iNcontroL is kind of right, it sucks having people attack you even if it is just a small few... but it's so fucking blatant to me that these people are so worthless in relation to the massive following that is begging for the show to return. It hurts me, as a follower of JP and the gang, to see that he is almost dismissive of the viewership who does silently love him and though isn't as noticeably present... is still a present number that shows up every freaking episode.
tldr; I ramble and go back and forth and I'm not sure if there's even a good point in there. I think I made one, but I could be wrong.
Agreed, the haters are the vocal minority, the lovers are the silent majority, as is often the case.

woot woot cant wait! any word on when some more of these old shows will be uploaded? already done with the first four 
|
Yeah, I wholeheartedly agree with that sentiment as well.
Though it doesn't solve the issue, really, the only thing I can think of is just to be supportive of the cast (like send them PMs and tweets). I mean, it doesn't really solve the fact that you can still feel bad and all (everyone's human), but still, it's something. : S

I don't agree with this. So no, not everyone can agree to that.

I am considering rearranging my work schedule this week so I can watch this.

JP/Inc need to bear something in mind: haters don't hate on people because they don't like them. They hate on people because they can't stand the fact they're popular. Having haters is like being handed a diploma of celebrity.
Also, fans are there to tune in to the show and push viewership into five figures. We are not there to be knights in shining armour and engage with a hateful minority on anyone's behalf. It would take the large hadron collider to isolate the fuck I give for such people. I do not even have a radar upon which they could appear. Life is too short to spend it machine-gunning clouds.

Disagree. The episodes without him were very bland, imo. He brings a lot of character to the show.

ye man, everyone who has ever thought that something wasnt 100% perfect or could be improved is a hater. calling them haters is as bland and broad as all the legitimate hate comments, except anti-hate gets "omg yes" and upvotes.

Constructive criticism wasn't the thing causing the hosts to make depressed comments in this thread.

Glad to see it come back soon. Very excited. :D
|
Omg I almost didnt open the thread cause I got sick of my hopes getting up only to see "COMING SOON" in the OP..... But right now.... I have a hard on. True story.
Sooo glad its back. MY 1-2 hr commute will be much more enjoyable now.
