Bill Maher has returned for another season of his HBO show. Maher is well known for his pro pot, anti religion, can you believe these guys on the right, sense of humor.
At times I find him quite funny but at other times I think that he, like most current comedians, lean on crudity and lewdness in exchange of well worded humor.
Still Maher does have good guests, usually a wide range of entertainers, politicians and others. Most of his guests are from the left side of the spectrum but not all and those from the right who go on deserve extra credit for being willing to suffer Maher's gaze.
This is a worthy show. One I enjoy. Still anyone who thinks what he is doing is harder than what comedians who have to work inside boundaries and still be funny would be wrong. The more lines are around you the harder it is to be funny. Bill Maher's success at what he does should make us appreciate the Jon Stewart's and David Letterman's even more.
