My favorite stuff on the show is the cast fighting with each other,
and
Howard's parents or sister or some friend giving him crap about
something. Hardly indecent, usually not even really racy at all.

Anyone who thinks that Howard is all boobs and stuff either has
never
listened (my guess), or ignores the other 3+ hours of the show and
finds
one thing a half hour or so long to get their panties in a bunch
over.

I listened to the show pretty regularly--at least until he turned into
a whiner over this Clear Channel thing--and I agree with you that the
cast and family interactions are the best part of the show. But the
"boobs and stuff" -is- a regular and consistent part of the show, and
sometimes it occupies a lot more than a half hour. The other point
is that nobody--FCC, Clear Channel, etc.--came down on him for doing
the boobs and stuff for a long, long time and showed no intention of
doing so until he finally, apparently, stepped over the line into anal
sex and other stuff.

Again, the airwaves do not belong to Stern, and it's not really
relevant what the bulk of the show is about if he violates public
standards for even a portion of the show. If the argument is that
there should be no standards for content -at all,- then that's another
discussion. But as long as there are, some guy who's been able to
do -exactly- what he wants for years and make a bundle at it doesn't
get much sympathy from me just because he wants to talk about sex in
even more graphic detail and the big bad FCC won't let him.
