I don't subscribe to HBO and only really became aware of Real Time when iTunes offered it as an audio podcast years ago. After iTunes put up a video podcast for a week or two, I preferred it and started downloading episodes and later found a site that streamed a bootleg feed. All that was during the Bush administration. A short time after Obama was inaugurated I found I had lost interest in the show and stopped keeping up. Since then the only thing I watch is when someone links to a YouTube video, usually from New Rules, and I think that's the best that Maher does. And I guess that's what I was hoping for in the Yahoo set - less preaching about politics and more irreverence and a wicked attack on the foolishness of our pop culture obsessions. -- TV or Not TV ....
