[edit] Premiere Networks Conspiracy

We need to add a note about the conspiracy surrounding Premiere ousting Art in favor of a more conservative host. I DO think that George Noory's affinity for Jesus Christ and George W Bush should be noted here in some way. Any thoughts on this? BobVillain 10:01, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Single Night in the Show's History

What's the deal with such an extensive section devoted to a single night in the show's history? No need at all as far as I can see.

Please sign your statements. Martial Law 03:59, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Looks like it's taken care of. Sayvandelay 13:12, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] To the Anonymous Wiki Police Officer...

Whoever keeps deleting the information about the show's multiple call-in numbers - when you delete something twice, it's not a bad idea to come to the talk page and explain yourself. I'm not the person who added this information originally, but I did notice it on the edit history and added a more sensible version of it last night. Seems like a perfectly reasonable piece of information, as it's one of the show's calling cards, and as mentioned in the article, is regularly parodied on another famous radio show. --65.175.223.122 21:23, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

AUTHORS: PLEASE INCLUDE THE YEAR THAT ART BELL STARTED DOING HIS SHOW. THANKS.

[edit] Episodes listing

Would a listing of the episodes, what guests were therewith, the activities therein, claims, and so forth be possible? It would definately make this article more comprehensive.. Someone actually from the forum would prolly be a tremendous help if they're frequented it long enough. DrWho42 16:23, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

not really possible. this show has been four hours a night, five nights a week for some 15+ years, so there are thousands of shows.

It should be possible to list the various HOSTS maybe, and a blurb about each one.

[edit] Prey

Shouldn't there be a bit about this being featured in the video game Prey?

I was just about to ask that. In any event, since the Art Bell segments are one of the more intresting bits in the game, I think it merits at least a mention. 68.88.201.103 05:15, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Would be interesting if...

It would be interesting if Oscar and JC got on the show at the SAME time.Martial Law 22:38, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alex Jones

Alex Jones was introduced on Coast To coast AM last Friday, AS a expert in conspiratorial matters. For more, go to Alex Jones on Coast To Coast AM. Martial Law 01:40, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hale-Bopp

The Comet Hale-Bopp has a couple paragraphs on Art Bell and Hale-Bopp. It might be worthwhile to mention this information. I'm fairly sure that at some point either this or Art Bell did include reference to Hale-Bopp. Theshibboleth 10:45, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ufologist

Peter Davenport of the National UFO Reporting Center should be mentioned. He is a frequent guest on this show. Martial Law 20:41, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New show

New show is called Coast To Coast AM Live. Martial Law 04:59, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

It is a sister show to this one.Martial Law 05:00, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Criticism

I do not feel that the criticism section is valid because the host won't waste his time challenging the statements of prank calls which often include some of the more ridiculous claims made on the show. It's a call-in show and they cannot waste their time getting into huge debates with someone who isn't even serious. I often hear opinions and statements being questioned, not only by callers but also by the host if the caller or guest is serious about their statement. I also don't think that rationalists are a big opponent of the show.

I can see skeptics having problems with the content of the show but the method seems reasonable considering that it is an entertainment-oriented call-in show.
