I used to like it, because there's no topic in the world of greater
interest to me than sex and sex-related issues, but the show really got
repetitive after a while. It was the same thing over and over again.
Subjects kept repeating. 

I did enjoy listening to Dr. Drew, but personally I thought Adam
detracted from the show. This is show business, however, and the more
dislikeable you are, chances are, the more successful you'll be.

(Who almost married a stripper who didn't hate men, and had threesomes
that were very enjoyable for everyone involved and didn't cause any
problems. A mid-20s white male, finally in a minority. :-))
