Jerad W @JeraBear 1d " Oh How The Mighty Hath Fallen. " " Ha-ha. " See more Primo 1 @Matou 6d There was a time when Real Time with Bill Maher was essential viewing. It was witty, genuinely funny, and packed with the kind of sharp, unpredictable political debate that you couldn't find anywhere else. Unfortunately, those days are gone. The show has devolved into a dull, boring, and remarkably unfunny hour of television. Maher now operates from a frustrating "can do no wrong" stance, seemingly convinced that his perspective is the only correct one. Instead of the balanced, fiery panels of the past, he increasingly surrounds himself with guests and panels that lean heavily to the right, creating a repetitive echo chamber that lacks real pushback. If you are looking for the smart, entertaining political comedy that Real Time used to deliver, you are much better off watching The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. And if it is the substantive, compelling political debate you miss, skip Maher entirely and tune into Abby Phillip on CNN. Real Time has simply lost its edge.

One tossed easy questions at the other two, who were at a loss to provide coherent answers, and at times sat there mute and dumbstruck, looking extremely uncomfortable. See more Read all reviews
