Charlie Moore

[Joe]

I believe after sports, it's the #1 show on NESN. The last figure I heard was 6 mil a season.
One has to consider that other fishing hosts have zero personality. He has a personality, and it fits, because it's an obnoxious one. Who is Charlie Moore? He's the personification of every loud mouth, sports-obsessed, ex-high school jock, Massolio, that bumps into you in a sports bar in Scituate and puts on a bad-ass act over the non-event.
There are plenty of middle aged fat Irish bastids that identify with him, they'll be tailgating you on the Mass Pike and 128 Monday morning and spouting off by the water cooler about how great the Sawx were when they were mostly white guys.

I was going to close the thread to stop giving the guy attention until this post - too funny.

I always thought the (self proclaimed) internet hero on the Charlie Moore joint would be a great episode. Never quite sure how it might have ended though, but figured it would be highly entertaining none the less.

Exactly how much "sports" does NESN actually show nowadays????
I mean, after all the infomercials and sports TALK shows, what's left?

Besides Charlie Moron's show, what other fishing shows are there, or "outdoors" shows for that matter?

It makes me wonder that maybe the Mad Fish powers may have forced NESN to get rid of any competition to corner the market.

I get to see more fishing action on CSN abd ESPN than NESN.

Maybe NESN is hooking their wagon to the Charlie Moore popularity train and hope to ride it to the top.
Top of what, I couldn't say, nor would I want to waste my time even trying.

My favorite Mooron episode was when he "tried" cod fishing, and while holding the rod UPSIDE DOWN, lost the rod and reel because he was holding it like he was holding a limp willy.

Give me Larry Dahlberg (or even Larry Szonka for that matter) and I'll enjoy some real fishing.

The way I see it allot better shows are off the air.
I don't know what keeps this show going other than the possibility that the hate mail to the TV station may be the thing that keeps him alive.
They think that if folks are talking about him it sells products.
Notice when he fishes alone he catches things that our kids don't want to keep. He has no personal fishing skills! He is a charter boat Captains worst customer. I know real deals that would refuse to take him on a charter.The other thing is from the beginning of his early shows to this day HE STILL DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO HOLD A FISHING ROD AND HAS NO CLUE ON HOW TO FIGHT A FISH.
HE IS NO JOSE WEJEBE / ROLAND MARTIN!!!!
He is the classic person who tells you about the one that got away!!!
God lord just kill me!
