No matter how we feel about Bill Maher, HBO loves him. So much so that they renewed Real Time with Bill Maher for two more seasons.
Nina Rosenstein, Executive Vice President, HBO Programming, Late Night & Specials, said, “For 22 seasons and counting, Bill Maher remains a uniquely powerful voice in politics and culture. Real Time is the rare place where people can both disagree and find common ground, which is more vital than ever. We’re thrilled to continue working with Bill and his incredibly talented team for two more seasons.”
Bill Maher added, “Two more years in the dream job of a lifetime, on the network so many dream of being on – I think that’s what we call a no-brainer.”
Are you one of the few people who still watches him?
John Oliver’s show Last Week Tonight has won 26 Emmys in less than ten years. So it should be no surprise that when it was time for HBO to renew the series, they made no hesitation to do so. In fact, they want three more seasons, bringing the topical show’s total to 13.
“We’re very happy to get to keep making this show with our fantastic staff,” said John Oliver. We will continue trying to stretch the term ‘entertainment’ to the breaking point.”
How happy are you to see him brilliantly destroy things that need to be destroyed?
The Idol is one of the most hated new shows of the year. So what I am about to tell you won’t surprise you. HBO cancelled the series that starred The Weeknd and Lily-Rose Depp after one season.
“The Idol was one of HBO’s most provocative original programs, and we’re pleased by the strong audience response,” an HBO spokesperson said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. “After much thought and consideration, HBO, as well as the creators and producers have decided not to move forward with a second season. We’re grateful to the creators, cast, and crew for their incredible work.”
Incredible work? Who the fuck are they kidding? It was shit. The Weeknd sucked. And he wasn’t even the worst one. That title goes to Hank Azaria. His fake Israeli accent was beyond dreadful, as was his acting.
The only positive parts were Depp and Da’Vine Joy Randolph.
You know, I wonder if the series would have gotten a second season if they had gone with the original concept and not listened to The Weeknd’s vision. It was a mistake like his ego. So, I guess you can say he played himself—someone with an ego who has nothing to back it up.
Mindy Kaling brought Scooby Doo’s Velma’s story to life in an animated series on Max. And to say the fans hated it would be an understatement.
Yet somehow, the show will be back for another season. Suzanna Makkos, Executive Vice President, Original Comedy and Adult Animation, Max and Adult Swim, made the announcement today at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival.
I guess people are hate watching it, and that is why I got renewed. Because I don’t know anyone who wanted more. Did you?
The full trailer for And Just Like That’s season 2 is out, and it looks painfully bad.
I am a Queer As Folk girl, so I didn’t watch Sex and the City. But I have a lot of friends who did. They also watched And Just Like That and were not fans of the sequel series.
After watching the trailer for season 2, I think they are going to like it even less. What happened to the fun they used to have?
If they get a season 3, they need to bring back the fun, fashion, and food! Less of the dramatics.
Before we get to that and the return of Kim Cattrall, we need to get through the season that starts June 22nd on Max.
