I hate that it moved to Wednesdays. I don’t have a DVR and it doesn’t do Hulu, so since so many things are on Wed. night, The Soup doesn’t always get watched now (all of two weeks in to the move, ha ha). I wonder if E! is trying to kill it, but they don’t want to outright kill it. If you make it hard for people to watch, then they don’t watch. ---

It’s not that hard to watch Talk Soup. It’s rerun several times after the initial broadcast on Wednesday nights. ---

> [@Mahaloth](#): > > I do use it as my education source as well. I had no idea these shows existed before I watched The Soup. Me neither. Where are those shows? Are they local or are they just on in the wee hours? We had hundreds of channels when we had DTV and I don’t ever remember seeing most of them in the guide. I wonder if The Soup has featured [The Wild Man](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFb7aKlZFdQ) yet. We love him. He could be my brother-in-law, but my brother-in-law has more teeth. ---

I think that guy was on The Soup last week, describing how he embedded a chain saw in his head, or some other gruesome injury. ---

> [@Nobody](#): > > The Soup has its own Website now. > [http://www.thesouptv.com/](http://www.thesouptv.com/) That still doesn’t change the fact that you can’t watch the actual show. It’s just like it was on E!'s website. You can’t even just watch all the clips in one episode, as they don’t help you figure out which clips aired when and in what order. It remains the only show I actually loved cannot actually watch online. Well, unless I watch some really old episodes that a few people archived. But what’s the point of that? ---

> [@AuntiePam](#): > > Me neither. Where are those shows? Are they local or are they just on in the wee hours? We had hundreds of channels when we had DTV and I don’t ever remember seeing most of them in the guide. I’ve googled some of them. They exist, but are on weird channels I never watch. The “dutch oven” show is really old, I think. I heard Joel on the radio and he said they tried to get him on the show, but it went off the air years ago. ---

That is a good point. And I don’t think I’ve searched for it, but I’m surprised it’s not on Hulu or something like that. ---

I don’t because I don’t have cable. But Joel is a frequent guest on Adam Carolla, and not only is he very funny, he is very smart and VERY nice. He’s one of my favorite guests. He should have his own show (I mean a podcast). [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/anyone-else-watch-the-soup/605461.md?page=1)
