[FRIAM] Everything she knows...

I agree.  However, Oliver's show is too scripted for my tastes.  I like the risk Maher takes with his format (initial guest, panel, special member of the panel added later).  And although I thought he treated Preet Bharara terribly a couple of episodes back, it's that "aliveness" that keeps me watching.  Oliver's show can feel a bit dead ... like fight choreography as opposed to an actual sparring match.

Oliver's researchers could probably get a job for Frontline just as well.   Maher is more like a show for venting and schadenfreude -- it is different from a sermon.  You're not looking for inspiration or guidance on Maher.   A person prone to religion would have that weakness.
