HBO Special this Saturday Nov. 5th. Anyone going to be watching?
i'll most likely catch a repeat. it cuts right into Va Tech/Miami so unless it's a blowout i'll have to watch it some other time. Carlin is always good for some laughs

it wasn't taped already?
I'm pretty sure it wasn't, though I could be wrong. I know they have tickets for the 11/05 show and they were telling one of my other friends that he should watch it to see if they shout out his mom's name.

Yeah I checked.. it's definitely live:
Direct from the stage of the Beacon Theater in New York City, a longtime HBO favorite returns for his unprecedented 13th stand-up comedy special. Uncensored and uninhibited, this all-new 75-minute show - his fifth live performance on HBO - will feature George Carlin's dead-on observations on such subjects as extreme human behavior; the feasibility of an all-suicide cable channel; and his inimitable takes on obscure American words and phrases. Don't miss the latest outrageous observations from America's original counterculture spokesman, Saturday, November 5 at 10 PM EST

i think George is a legend certainly and his vocabulary and use and exploration of language is usually a source for great humor. but that special was just really lacking in strangely enough... humor. i didn't think his last special was that great, but it was better than that one. sometimes he veers off into simply pissing on everything and to me, it just lacks substantive humor.

He was just being so vile about anything and everything, which he has always been (well at least in the last decade), but this time there was no humour or context to it. It was just "People are fucking dumb," and "That is fucking stupid," and "The world is going to fucking die." And outside of his typically clever phrasing, there was no real punchline or good setup to any of it.
