that's too bad, i liked that show... Here's the cnn.com article on the cancellation:

http://www.cnn.com/2002/S...index.html

excerpt: >> Maher declined to discuss his future plans, but said he doesn't regret making the statement he believes cost him his job.

"If I wasn't going to take it back then, and I didn't, I certainly won't now," he said. <<

Whether you like him or not, the man's got moxie, gotta love that.

Not a bad show, despite the fact that I can't remember the last time I agreed with Bill Maher on one of his viewpoints.

It needed to be said. And the fact that the ratings declined (according to the media) because of it says more about America than it does about Maher.

As Bill said last night, this show was not canceled because of ratings. Bill had too many conflicts and also he was just too smart for TV. TV like most of the Music out today is stupid, people dont wanna hear Bill Maher talk about legalizing pot or womens rights and things like that. People are afraid of any kind of talk that is logical, or has to make them think or makes them feel uncomfortable. This is true of many, like Chris Rock, George Carlin and Dennis Miller. Hopefully cable will get Bill Maher, but you know what, if i was Bill Id say screw U and live with stupid TV and music and politics and Ill be over here laughing my ass off.
