Re: Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO) - Series Discussion Thread
Thats only true if i’m arguing that Maher made up the fact that they were close to a deal. I assume he had some inside knowledge that they were close to a deal and then used that as the excuse to hold off on the triumphant return of Real Time despite it not being the real reason he changed his mind.
I have not commented on this before, but it does not make sense to believe that Maher changed his plans due to the criticism he received. He was critical of the WGA strike in 2007, and he has been critical of this strike. He's not an idiot. He knew what people would say about his producing a show without writers. Letterman, Leno, and Conan O'Brien all produced writer-less shows in 2008 during the WGA strike. Why would people criticizing him in exactly the way he knew he would be criticized affect him? And since when does Maher care so much about criticism at all?

MOD NOTE
Please keep the political discussions civil. If you'd like to get more heated, you should take it over to the Religion, Politics and World Events section. Thank you.

And? So you feel the need to fill this thread because you think it's too inactive? It's weird enough that you even come back time and time again when you hate everything about the show, the guests and the panel with such passion, but this takes the cake, man.

Bill is back tonight. 10 pm eastern and streaming on Max.
I am just glad to have a show back. This is the only one I never miss.
The last Bill show I missed was before the 9/11 thing on Politically Incorrect.
And he is still the same old Bill he always was, just Older, Whiter and Crankier than ever. 😉
Nothing beats Bill Maher drinking hard liquor and smoking tons of weed with celebrities on Club Random though.

If you don't like him you don't have to watch (or hate watch), he's not for everyone.

Yeah, I don't doubt that. I don't agree with everything he says, but I still enjoy watching the show.

At least personally i’ve never been a fan of Maher’s politics and don’t find him funny at all but he gets good guests. When I have HBO I watch him but he’s not a reason I ever order HBO.
