Bill Maher tonight

[NEDem]

Alanis Morissette, Rev. Jesse Jackson and former Rep. Jim Rogan. Plus via satellite, Howard Dean and Garrison Keillor.

Looks like this will be one of those shows where Maher plays devil's advocate again. I hate when he does that. It's still the best show on TV.

1. yep, it's my favorite show too

In fact, it's the ONLY show I watch regularly.

(Now that "Monk", "The Sopranos" and "Sex in the City" are off the air.)

6. No, it's not.

The Daily Show is vastly superior to Bill Maher's show. When was the last time Maher even had a good show? The last one I enjoyed was the one with Moore and Nader, and that one was several months ago. I've been very disappointed; it seems the closer we get to the election the more of the old Maher comes out. The Maher who told us there was no difference between Bush and Gore. The Maher who actually used the phrase "That was so September 10th". If we must make media heros, can we not do better than Maher?

7. Yes it is.

The Daily show is the best political satire show, Realtime is the best political discussion show on television. I don't care about one or 2 quotes from Maher, particularly one taken out of context. I saw that show where he said it and it was a decent comeback to an old line.

I may not agree with Maher all the time, but taken as a whole Realtime is the most intelligent and thought provoking political discussion show on television.

9. I agree, daily show is better. n/t
