NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2004 I thought I read a few months ago that a second season for HBO was taped and ready, but I haven't heard anything since. Maybe it is coming back when Bill Mahr's show comes back in July, since that is what it originally debuted after.....anyone know? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2004 Yes, it is coming back, I saw them running promos. I forgot the exact date but I'm pretty sure it's in July, after Bill Maher sound fair. The first season is on hbo on demand now as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vanhalen 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2004 Get some of his original Channel 4 stuff, when he first came out, that shit is fucking amazing, the american series wasnt as good as the original work, plus the dvd's are only £6.99! http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B...7047770-5002201 http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B...7047770-5002201 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2004 You must be in some sort of spacetime vortex. I'm looking at it right now. By the way, does he still do anything in his home country? I'd imagine the recognition would have killed him by now. I would hope that's why there was such a long wait between seasons here. I have seen his original stuff also, it didn't seem all that much better, except that he repeated several bits in the American version. I like them equally well. Those really are good prices for those dvds though, I'll probably get them anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was massive overkill here in terms of exposure and got way to big for its own good. There was a time when everyone was walking around doing Ali G impressions from 5 year old kids to middle aged daytime television presenters. I'm surprised there is a new US series as I'm sure I read somewhere Baron Cohen said was going to stop doing the Ali G stuff. Money changed his mind I guess . I think his first Uk stuff was the best althougth I'm sure alot of the best humour might be lost due to people in America not knowing who some of the people he interviewed are.

Vanhalen 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2004 Can I just say tho, when he visited the UN, and wrote a letter to Kofi annan saying, "dear sir, i think saddam is a nob and u should take care of him", and the tour guides expression when he read the note was one of the funniest fucking things I've ever seen.

Vanhalen 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2004 Oh and once he did the feature film http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B...3832926-9172654 That was pretty much the natural end of the character. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C Dubya 04 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2004 I had seen most of the HBO episodes, and loved them. Last night I marked out hard when I saw that the shows were on OnDemand. I instantly made my girl watch half of them. She didn't complain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
