The Worst Show on WFMU?

Just finished listening to the latest installment of the supposed "Best Show on WFMU" with Tim Scharpling. Is it just me or this show lame? The comedy bits seem very old hat, almost all of the callers are mutant idiots (they also sound poor and fat), and the host alternates between being an insufferable bore and an insipid loudmouth bully with his rants against the hilarious film Juno. I used to like the show, but now I hate it because it's a little more popular. Where's all the cool new music Todd use to play? I'm tired of all the yammering.

I did enjoy the call from Shout!'s Matthew Tompkins. Sounds like another great slate of shows, especially To Hunt, Gut and Kill a Slob.
