Sseems like Miller is a real love him or hate him kind of guy. But, I have to agree with **Lure** , he had no business on Monday Night Football.

Thank goodness Dennis is leaving the airwaves so we can all get back to really intellectual programing like “Dog Eat Dog,” “Son of the Beach,” “Meet My Folks” and “American Idol.”

Farewell Dennis…we hardly knew ye.

I’ll take **Son of the Beach** over Dennis Miller every time. He was more wannabe intelligent than having any real insight.

I thought he was funny: “Family is important. When you’re on Family Feud and you get so flustered that when Louie asks you ‘name an item you find in a refrigerator’ you answer ‘a dictionary,’ who’s going to yell ‘good answer! good answer!’? Your \*family/i].”

Funny when he wasn’t making esoteric references to Camus and Satre, that is.

I don’t get it.  
Could someone provide enlightenment on this one, please?

Since it was the last show, if you wait for next week’s guest, you’ll be “Waiting For Godot”, who won’t show up. Just a parting existentialist joke.

You really should put “spoiler” tags around posts like that, **Baldwin**.
