Is there a worse tv show on the air than DM?

[peaches2003]

Watching Dennis Miller for the first time tonight. Is there a worse show on the air than this slug? How long will CNBC put up with this and why did they put him on to begin with? CNBC is not normally Bush-TV like FoxNews.

1. Hannity and O'Reilly come to mind

:shrug:

2. He's a goner

Smug and pompous jerk on Saturday Night Live; smug and pompous jerk on Monday Night Football; smug, pompous, and Bush-licking jerk now. What more needs be said? Oh, maybe not half as smart as he thinks he is. Bring it on, Dennis!

3. Uh, Friends and that King Queen show

4. I wouldn't give that show the time of day.

I just assumed it was crap from the beginning, and due to it's host, I'd never watch.

Glad my presumption wasn't wrong. Blame me, Dennis, it's the fault of me and people like me that your show is going to tank.

5. In answer to your question. Yes...Dennis Miller's previous show.

That thing on HBO a while back.

Dennis Miller is a smug, smarmy little prick who think's he oh, so clever. I can't stand that right wing fuck.

6. Here's Dennis' schtick in a nutshell: obscure reference followed by pseudo

"rat pack" swagger and then he laughs at his own jokes.

It was a cool novelty back in the SNL days. But he's gone to the well too many times on that whole routine.

7. Tried watching it last night

Good grief. Even his canned audience was serving huge dead air. He was stumbling over words and ideas. Julliani backed him down from bad mouthing Kerry. He would throw bad jokes out and just sit there and stare at the cemera watching his carreer go down the drain. What the heck happened to the man? Did the medical team that keeps Laura * sedated get ahold of him?

8. I don't recall the context but he used "vis-a-vis" instead of "via"

To mean "by way of". What a frickin' poseur! That's the last I heard before changing the channel.

9. I can smell the flop sweat from here

Give it up, Miller. You've always been fairly lame and self-congratulatory, but you were occasionally funny, too. Now your sense of "humor" appears to revolve around insulting people who disagree with your idol who's squatting in our White House.

Buh-BYE, Dennis. If we promise to miss you, will you go away?

10. in reply to the second part of your post

CNBC is just another right-wing cable Pravda channel like Fox and MSNBC (The Axis of Idiocy).

11. I Always Liked "Danger Mouse"

Oh, you mean the OTHER DM.....

12. He's terrific

he's fantastic. Where ever there is danger he'll be there.
