Talk:Ron and Fez
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mabye someone could make a section for radio talk shows, or something? AshTM 21:58, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Maybe we should add more? R&F's beginnings in Florida, move to NY, then DC? I'll see what I can put together --Kevin McManus 19:23, May 19, 2005 (UTC)
- "Based out of the station"? Where exactly is it based, then? -- Picapica 18:41, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

- I don't see anything wrong with that wording. It's based out of WJFK and broadcasted in Washington DC metro area. --Kevin McManus 00:41, May 22, 2005 (UTC)
- Sorry: this is me being a boring and pedantic old fart, I know, but to me one thing can be based in a place (the company is based in Seattle, i.e. has its base in Seattle) or on another thing (the film is based on a true story, i.e. has a true story as its basis), but out of a place — when it is not implying movement, in which case it cannot combine with base/basis: the absence of movement — is a reference to somewhere else (he lives out of town). I therefore ask again: if the broadcast to which you are referring is indeed based out of station WJFK, then the question inevitably arises — where, then, is it based?
- I would also point out that the past participle of "broadcast" is "broadcast": I have broadcast, you have broadcast, etc.
- I should like to suggest that what you are in fact trying to say is that the show in question is broadcast by station WJFK to the Washington DC metro area. -- Picapica 21:21, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

- Well regardless of my grammatical mistake in my last comment, I am, in fact, not the author of the stub ;). Anyway, I understand what you mean about the wording. I changed the last sentance to reflect upon that. Any further suggestions? I hope to expand this article anyway. --Kevin McManus 18:40, May 24, 2005 (UTC)
Oh my god, someone actually worked on this! Awesome. AshTM 2 July 2005 05:26 (UTC)

[edit] Staff
I haven't listened to the show in a while, so my expansion of the staff section may be innacurate. I also dont know any of the current producers besides Keisha, nor any current interns. Please feel free to add to the list (past and present staff) --Kevin McManus 23:11, July 12, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Rise and Fall of [[East --Bill.matthews 21:05, 16 January 2007 (UTC)Side Dave]]
I think this should have a short wording on the main page as the first real XM exclusive bit (not counting Harry). A link could be put to go to his page for the full break down. Thoughts? TravKoolBreeze 20:04, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
- Absolutely. Want to take a shot at it? --Bill.matthews 21:05, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Break out some stuff
The article is great, but it's getting too damn big. I think the "Cast of Characters" section should be broken out into a separate article. Any objections? -- BD2412 talk 17:26, August 14, 2005 (UTC)
- No objections here. I suggest we move it to List of Ron and Fez staff and characters --Kevin McManus 00:46, August 16, 2005 (UTC)
- And I said "let it be done." And lo! It was done! Actually, I've put them at List of Ron and Fez Show characters. No biggie - I'll redirect your link there. -- BD2412 talk 02:31, August 16, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Big Cleanup
This article seems to be little more than a vanity piece and it was huge. All this info could be on Ron and Fez's own webpage...
Completely disagree - this article should be an example for other radio talk shows - especially one with a 20 year history that is now thrust into the national spotlight through satellite. I don't believe there is such a thing as too much information with respect to this. My only suggestions would be tightening of the "comedy" section, and reinstating the XM information that was hacked out without thought a month ago.
[edit] backwards order
The sections of this article are in reverse chronological order, which is kinda unintuitive and awkward to read in order. It makes more sense to put a current overview first, then to have the rest of the history starting from the beginning. Night Gyr 03:55, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Florida Appearances
Do we really need to list their 1989-1997 Florida appearances? I think the first sentence should be enough, we don't need every comedy show they did. --Bill.matthews 16:56, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The popularity of Opie & Anthony
I changed the "very popular" statement to "moderately popular" because O&A their ratings are pretty low so they are obiously not that popular in my opinion. --Rolfz 01:12, january 9th 2007 (UTC)
And since when is wikipedia the place for your opinion?--XMBRIAN 01:38, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
It is as much the place for mine as it is for anybodys. Stating that O&A are VERY popular is simply very subjectively put. --Rolfz 01:12, january 9th 2007 (UTC)
Then remove the line altogether, but as you said above "so they are obiously not that popular in my opinion." --XMBRIAN 21:24, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
Never mind, I did it myself.--XMBRIAN 21:25, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
I think popular would be a good way to put it, if it needs to be reentered or reworked in some way. Eatabullet 19:56, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Characters
I removed Foul Mouth Elmo from the show characters page, as he was only a caller doing an unfunny + irrelevant bit & not a staff member. I placed it onto the List of Ron and Fez Show characters page and updated it as Ron has mocked the character on both XM & Free FM saying that the bit is dead & has no legs anymore.

[edit] Important Events of the XM and Free FM Era
I think it would be useful to add some notable events of the XM era. What do you all think? Perhaps make a new article for each era of the show to compact the size of the main article.Eatabullet 22:07, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
