DENNIS MILLER

I hadn't made an effort to see his new show, but found it twice last week surfing around. It's really intelligent and funny in ways that these kinds of shows have never been. He begins with a weekend update type funny take on the news. He then has an interesting guest. I saw Scott Ritter one night and Jon Bon Jovi another night. Then he has a panel of pundits talk about the news and politics. The show ends with him solo making some more jokes.

He had to be bleeped a couple of times during the broadcast but he apologized to the kids. All those years on HBO relaxed his inhibitions. I use to watch Bill O’Reilly everynight during the 2000 election, but he gets tiresome with the way he makes everything a crusade. He’s not entertaining like Rush. I now see the show maybe once a week. Hannity and Colmes books interesting guests, but there is hardly an unexpected moment in the show.

Maybe it’s just because Miller is new to those channels, but it seems that he is doing something different. Has anyone else seen it?
