I like it, although I record it and watch it a week or so later, whenever I get caught up on my shows. He's being credited with bringing the Net Neutrality thing to light and keeping the cable companies from writing the rules. He also did a segment the other week about NCAA players not getting paid. If you like The Daily Show, you'll like it.

I watch his rants on Youtube, great stuff. When he's on he cranks it out of the park.

Agree with Intensity, if you like the Daily Show its more of the same but with curse words.

Not a fan - he's trying too hard, like Colbert. His material is fine, the delivery is fucking annoying.

Colbert was a fake conservative. I don't see anything fake in what Oliver is presenting. It's a great show.

Watched the last two episodes on HBO go. It did remind me of the daily show and I didn't mind it. Some of his shit is obviously over the top and one sided but that is expected with these type of shows. Solid. I'll probably try to keep up with it.

I agree with the idea that he's trying a little too hard at times. He's so fucking happy just to be there, though. Plus his wife straight up saw combat in Iraq and/or Afghanistan. It's such a 21st century marriage.

Pretty good stuff. It would seem the NSA likely has pics of my junk.

Too bad this stuff doesn't reach the apathetic majority of Americans who can't be bothered to get off their duff and do something about this bs. Country would be in revolt.
