Why wasn't this show, or it's like, picked up by a Cable network...


where it's political incorrectness wouldn't be such a broadcast bother?

Great show!

The show did debut on Comedy Central before its high-profile move to ABC. Maher got into hot water with the Big Shots at Disney by stating that the 9/11 terrorists had more courage than Americans. That ultimately forced his show off the air. Perhaps if Bush is defeated in November, the political climate will be right for Maher's return to prime-time TV.

Ultimately, I think the show is best suited for HBO anyways. However, I do wish he wuold do a few non political discussion like the did on his old show.

Jack and Jill - 2/10
A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas - 8/10
Tower Heist - 7/10

Well after a remark like that - I don't care about free speech at this point, he should've NEVER be back on television. Doesn't he realize that relatives of the people that died that day were still mourning the lost of their loved ones. Maher is a pretentious idiot anyway, I wish he would just go away or go live w/the Taliban if he thinks they are so courageous for their "cowardly disgusting disgraceful actions" for that day. Oh yeah Bill they would really treat you so kindly b/c you said that, no you are an American THEREFORE they would've chopped your head off at any given moment. He is a disgusting pig w/o any compassion for the people we lost that day and the families who were still grieving and I'm sure will always be grieving for the rest of their lives.

BILL MAHER GO AWAY PLEASE !!!
