I followed basketball in the early 80's and stopped around when Jordan, Barkley, Karl Malone retired. I always enjoyed his interviews after the games, etc.

"If somebody hits you with an object you should beat the hell out of them."
and of course:
"Kids are great. That's one of the best things about our business, all the kids you get to meet. It's a shame they have to grow up to be regular people and come to the games and call you names."

I think Barkley is very entertaining. But I also think John McEnroe is very entertaining, and I guess that show was kind of a disaster. Anyhow, I'm confident that a Barkley talk show would be much better than "The Magic Hour" or "Home Team with Terry Bradshaw."

His top 5 commercials with Duane Wade are hysterical! I would watch a show with Charles Barkley. Maybe not a talk show, but some other format where he could just go off on what he wants.

Imagine if someone said "we don't need basketball, but I guess black guys need something to do."

He had a weekly TNT show - Listen Up! Charles Barkley with Ernie Johnson. It had its moments but has not great. It tired to be like Inside the NBA but about other non NBA stuff.
