    Is it so bad they have to pay people to watch it or is this a prank?

    It's that bad. Dennis has done a suicide number on his career, in my opinion. I don't know why he left HBO, unless HBO asked him to go. I enjoyed that show, but this one stinks.

    They have an audience now?

    Wow, he made a big deal in the beginning of the show about not having a studio audience, that was one of his hooks for the whole thing.

    Unfortunately, the show degenerated into him making one liners into the camera with the occasional guffaw from a crew member; very stilted if you ask me.

    Yeah, I htought it was Dennis Miller, but the new Bill Maher show is possibly even funnier than Miller's show used to be.

    I never liked Dennis Miller, on SNL, MNF or HBO. I always considered him an obnoxious ass and unfunny.

    Hey, I'm starting to get into the Bill Maher show, too. He's never been one of my favorite comedians (Miller wasn't either... he was in the "sometimes funny" category for me), but he seems to be growing into this gig. I'm starting to watch it.

    I saw one episode and he almost looked like he was in pain doing the show. The jokes were awful and he didnt even crack a smile barely. He obviously knew it was crap. I like him but that show was awful.

    Dennis Miller used to speak to me and for me but he has definitely sold out to the republican party since 911. He was best when he skewerd everyone's foibles equally but now he has sacred cows he avoids.

    How can you not make fun of GWB.

    Plus I think his writers are overmatched by having to produce every day. I'm sure his best rants simmered in the writing room for long time getting the rythym of the language just right before they ever saw the light of day.

    I agree. You gotta roast both parties. Nonpartisan comedians who rip on liberals AND conservatives are the best.

    Hence Jon Stewart's success. He's a Whig. :D
