If you say so. Actually, after seeing a few clips, I like Julie a lot better. Lindsay was “the girl next door” or even “one of the guys.” Julie is totally hot!

Bill, come on! Blog forums are like ratings. 39 posts = thousands of fans. Some still too grief stricken to type, I fear. Regardless, I will miss Lindsay too. Julie has a huge challenge as Lindsay defined the role. Julie should not be afraid of adding her own style to the job. Lindsay had the sassy thing down cold. julie looks a little cautious, so far.

Some things should not have had a sequel (Caddyshack 2 comes to mind). Yet others only survived because of the sequel (Star Trek II…)

I will give Julie a try. So let’s see how it goes. Oh, the bad acting bits I delete right away. I like the talking head, interviews, man on the street stuff a lot more. FWIW.

Oh, and Naked Putz ain’t bad either!

Good luck to all!

Sorry Linsay, but only 39 comments since you left? That says it all. You were great and hot and cute and funny and witty, but in the end, no one really cared. Good luck in your new position. Hope you got a big fat raise. Best of luck to you Julie. Maybe you can muster 50 fans before you move on.

Wow, yeah I don’t think the new host has the same energy Lindsay had, despite one commenter saying the opposite. It’s like this: you could have the best script in the world, but if the actor/actress can’t deliver the lines right, it’s worthless. And that seems to be the case here. Who knows if this will get better over time, but MobLogic needs to hurry up and exist.

(Also, someone needs to add more info to Lindsay’s wikipedia page!) Like a picture!

I love the show with Lindsay and I did watch this last episode and had to do a double take because there really wasn’t an explanation of what happened (just someone else saying they were the host).

I saw Rocketboom go through something like this and that show ended up tanking. I hope that Wallstrip doesn’t do the same.

I’ll give the new host a shot. I know that the writing is really Howard anyway.. But I am a little concerned.

Anyway, like I said I will keep an open mind ;)
