Citations Needed[edit]

I am removing the following paragraph from this article due to its not meeting the guidelines layed out in WP:BLP[1]

"During the late 1990s and continuing into the 2000s, Lobel is accused of often going on the air while drunk. In 2005, he sued cartoonist Darby Conley when his comic strip Get Fuzzy made light of those accusations, but later settled out of court. In late 2004, the Boston Herald reported that he had an extra-marital affair. Lobel has denied all allegations, but has admitted he has been diagnosed with attention deficit disorder."

If someone wants to add the necessary citations, feel free to put it back.--Jfluke 19:57, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I added in the note about "Get Fuzzy" w/ citation. Actually I found a whole article sustaining the quote.Dexta32084 (talk) 12:22, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And if it is put back in, I would recommend creating a separate section for it, maybe call it "controversies", or putting the extra-marital affair accusation in a "personal life" section and the going on air drunk accusation under a "career" section. Either way, they wouldn't deserve more than a brief mention in the lead section, and should be explained in greater detail later in the article, assuming the accusations can be cited and verified, of course.

Actually, most everything in this article is missing citations, maybe it should just be recommended for deletion?--Jfluke 20:19, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers[edit]

I think it shoud be mentioned he appeared in an episode of Cheers. He got one line. Something like, "Sam, the TV is on the fritz again." 151.203.70.159 (talk) 12:42, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
