That show was brilliant. I was a huge fan.

<p>loved it.&nbsp; </p><p>gary busey is odd.</p>

I thought it was hilarious! Busey is really fucked up. I wonder if he was as
weird before his head was cracked open.

What I wanna know is what happened to Dr. Katz.</p>

It was only on for one Comedy Central season. I think it was like 6 or 8 episodes. It was a great show. Maybe if we all start writing to Comedy Central, they will offer it on DVD?

[Freakshow]

yes, cause that's worked so well for "The State"

<p>Honestly, I saw it once and changed it maybe 5 minutes into it. Little too obnoxious for me.</p><p>Here's a file of Busey and the kid from the show on Loveline though. I didn't listen to it so i don't know if it's funny or not.</p><p> </p><p><a title="Busey on Loveline" target="_blank" href="http://www.lovelinearchive.com/shows/Loveline%20-%202003-07-07%20%28Guest%20-%20Gary%20Busey%20and%20Adam%20De%20La%20Pena%29.m p3">http://www.lovelinearchive.com/shows/Loveline%20-%202003-07-07%20(Guest%20-%20Gary%20Busey%20and%20Adam%20De%20La%20Pena).mp3</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.lovelinearchive.com/shows/Loveline%20-%202005-07-24%20(Guest%20-%20Gary%20Busey).mp3" target="_blank" title="Busey 2">http://www.lovelinearchive.com/shows/Loveline%20-%202005-07-24%20(Guest%20-%20Gary%20Busey).mp3&nbsp;</a></p><p> </p><p>Hope the link works. </p><p>*EDIT* Found another one.&nbsp;</p>
