I just hope they stop with the stupid 'button gag' and the "We got him" thing they beat to death the last few shows....

A judge threw out Bob Murray’s defamation suit today so Sunday’s episode should be awesome.

Now that it’s back, we can have more of “That’s our show, we’re off next week, and the week after that, and the week after that, see you in three months!”

I think they said that they were going straight through this year.

I don’t get this with HBO as Bill Maher was off this week, as he complains sometimes when he is forced to take off, especially in this Trump media world. I can only think it’s a money thing for HBO to limit these guys to so many weeks a year.

I think it's their own personal schedules, and not HBO.

I assume the longer than normal hiatus was for Oliver to do work on that Lion King movie he is a part of.

Exactly. I guarantee HBO would much prefer they had an episode every week.

I'm a bit disappointed he is running for president of Italy and not the US but being british and ten times smarter than Trump disqualifies him I guess.

There's been 9 shows so far this season. They took a break after 5 shows for 3/25, the week before Easter, and then went another 4 shows before taking another break this week.

My bad! I'm a little stunned as I wouldn't have thought he'd been back that long.

I prefer 1-2 week breaks here and there, rather 22 weeks off in a row

If that was actually a series finale it would have been epic.
