Howard is often outraged when he sees a TV show that is doing a bit or contest that he says came from his head.
We can see many similarities in all TV shows and game shows. Heroes is pulling from comics that have been around for the last 20-30 years.
All realty TV started from MTV's The Real World - how often does that get acknowledged!? A concept created by Mary-Ellis Bunium and Johnathan Murray. Robin even once tried to take credit for starting all reality TV with the E show. I don't know if Mary or Johnathan knew about the E show at the time, but the concept of bringing a group of people together, having them live together for a long period of time, have it filmed, and produce it on television was totally original. Robin should be ashamed to have said that Howard had anything to do with that.
Mmmmm... where did Battle of the Blobs come from? I wonder how they got the idea to follow Jeff The Drunk around with cammeras? Let see here... Richard and Sal doing dangerous stunts …that sounds familar. There are many things that Howard says happen to him, and things that he says "his friends" tell him, that sound soooo familiar to me. Who are all these friends? I thought he didn't have any ??
What kind of credit is Howard looking for and why doesn't he give the same credit?
