But while i was watching the Dick Clark Rockin New Years Eve, i could not understand anything he said...i would have rather seen Dick 100% then see him at all....

What are your feelings towards this?

i know what you mean it made me really sad i had to change the channel

I didn't see it, but I know he's not in good health.

robyrob · 01-01-2006, 05:16 PM

it was sad to see him like that, but it is a good sign that he is doing THAT well already, and of course any Dick Clark is better than Ryan Seacrest...

Dean Winchester · 01-01-2006, 05:21 PM

I agree, it was hard to see him like that, but at the same time, you can tell he's determined to go back to normal... maybe come New Years Rockin' Eve 2007, he will once again be the Dick Clark we all know and love.

BTW, did anyone see the Los Angeles portion of it too? Did we need to hear Hilary Duff (who makes J. Lo sound like Patti LaBelle) sing so many songs? watching the audience dancing to 3 Doors Down made me think that this is what American Bandstand would look like if it was on today, lol.

It's a crime that someone like Dick Clark had a stroke. As vibrant as he's always been, it hurt me to see him like that last night.

I doubt it. Physically, it's possible in terms of the strength of his body, but in terms of his speech I don't think he's going to be any better than how we saw him last night.

I understood some of what he said, it was great to see him back though.

Daboss94 · 01-01-2006, 08:28 PM

i was watching Hilary Duff sing and i saw the people dancing and i said they had to be drunk...those songs had to be one of the worst songs ever....almost as bad as regis philbin singing on his New Years special!!

Mr. Television · 01-01-2006, 09:01 PM

It was great to see him back but I did feel so sad watching him. I've been watching him on New Years Eve since the early 70's and this is the first time he really ever looked old to me. Still its great that he was able to do the show at all.

Legendary New Year's Eve host Dick Clark made a gallant return to Times Square last night, anchoring ABC's Times Square broadcast of the big countdown a year after suffering a major stroke.
"I wouldn't miss this for the world," said Clark, 76, in slightly garbled speech as he took the reins of the show 25 minutes before the crystal ball dropped to ring in 2006. "It's real good to be back with you again this year."

Seated inside at a desk, Clark spoke bravely about the difficulties he's had recovering from the stroke that prevented him from hosting the show on Dec. 31, 2004.

"I had to teach myself how to walk and talk again," he said. "It's been a long, hard fight. My speech is not perfect but I'm getting there."

TV personality Ryan Seacrest helped host the show, leading to Clark's traditional countdown to midnight and kiss with his wife.

"[This is] the happiest time of all of my life," Clark said.

Clark sat out "New Year's Rockin' Eve" last year for the first time since starting it in 1972.

Dick Clark is the MAN

It was sad to see him like that, but I also think it was a brave and good thing for him to do. You could see that it meant a lot to him and he really wanted to be there. He obviously knows he can't speak all that well, but he wanted to be there. I don't think a lot of other people would have gotten up and did that for the country to see if they were in that condition. I have to commend him for that.

Ireneparalegal · 01-05-2006, 12:58 PM

is there a link to see how Dick did on this? I wasn't home and I had wondered how he was?
