I don't know how Rush did it in those days. Going three hours of his radio show, straight to the production of a half-hour television series five days out of each week. And STILL having time to enjoy the better things in life. The man was seemingly inexhaustible with energy.

I started listening to his radio show about the time his TV show started

I was fortunate enough to be in the audience for one of his shows. He was very accomodating signing autographs and talking to the audience after the show. God, I miss him.

I probably watched every episode even if they moved it to 1:30 in the morning (bastards!)

He also did at least one appearance on the short-lived '1/2 Hour News Hour'

He played the President and Ann Coulter was his VP, LOL, funny stuff.

Still my noon go to on the radio. They’re doing a great job. The fill-in hosts mixed with the old Rush segments. Katheryne was great yesterday. The beauty of Rush still shines on.

The Ted Kennedy ‘Spider’ bit was insane! I wish one of those kiddies had spoke up and and said: “Excuse me Sir, screw your homo spider, why did you murder Mary Joe?”

In a pre-”internet video” age, Rush’s program was “equal time” to the narrative being offered up by the DNC alphabet networks.

Things like President Clinton laughing at Ron Brown’s funeral and then seeing the camera on him immediately shifting from laughter to serious face and simulated crying. His neighbor in the scene didn’t get the memo and was still laughing.

Telling someone about it just didn’t have the same effect.

I actually bought a (used) full sized satellite dish, and set it up in my yard, solely to watch Rush’s show since none of the TV stations in my area carried it, and there was no cable there, either.

The funniest thing was the commercial time. The TV would just go blank during time for local commercials. I really felt funny just staring at a blank TV screen during these minutes which seemed endless.

That brings back great memories. I always recorded is show on VCR and watched it the next morning around 5:30 while I was stretching before heading to the gym. I had the same thoughts at the time — “How does he do it?”

Here’s a channel that has a couple of five hour compilations of Bush’s show.
