Program Summary for Real Time with Bill Maher
"Real Time with Bill Maher" is a weekly HBO talk show series hosted by comedian and political satirist Bill Maher. Episodes include an opening political sketch, a monologue, a panel of three well educated celebrities, two guests (live or via satellite), and at the end, "New Rules." The panel members normally represent a wide spectrum of American politics, which results in an interesting discussion and a fair presentation of the current events. While Bill Maher acts as the panel's head, he doesn't hide his ideological viewpoints. He'll end up agreeing with and attacking both sides of the political spectrum. The last segment, "New Rules," is political satire and covers Bill Maher's personal peeves of the week. The fore-runner of this series is the series Politically Incorrect (shown first on Comedy Central and then later on ABC).

Episode Summary:
The latest episode of Real Time with Bill Maher did not exactly have any big names on it, but it was still a fun show. There was a lot of interesting discussion, despite the fact that there really was nothing on the news. I guess Bill Maher hit the nail on the head when he said that there were "no new wars this week."

New Rules was funny as it usually is, but I think that the show needs a big name, at least one, to keep the panel as exciting as possible. The RNC rep instigated Bill a little bit, but then he embarrassed himself when he said that there were still forces in Libya, when there are not.

Episode Summary:
Another very entertaining episode of Real Time with Bill Maher. While it is quite fashionable to take a shot at Charlie Sheen these days, Maher used his now famous, "I already got your money, dude," comment as a metaphor for how the rich are scamming the poor in this country.

Sully Sullenberger's trip and landing is overrated, but this was still a nice interview. And the panel was good tonight. Andrew Sullivan is very biased, but he always brings his game for the show, and Eliot Spitzer, despite all the criticism he has received over the years, is usually good too. Colin Quinn added some laughs to the panel when he joined it.

Good episode all in all. I liked how Bill mocked how often HBO replays the show too.
