    ...Im a longtime Carlin fan, I think he has aged like fine wine.....just saw his new HBO stand up and it just very well may be his best.

    Anyone else watched it?

    I thought the opposite, I thought his earlier work was a lot funnier, while this current one had funny parts, he use to have me laughing from begining to end....just my opinon.

    Im sure its just me not seeing all that much of his pre 1990 work....I have only saw a few and they werent bad, I dont think Carlin could do a "bad" act.

    I saw it. I thought it was pretty funny. The whole thing about how getting old has its perks was pretty good. How he can: Leave events anytime he wants if hes "tired", **** his pants if he wants, etc. The each religion has a diff hat thing too was good.

    I just think the whole, "It's bull**** and it's bad for you" line is pretty good.

    His 1982 performance at Carnegie Hall was one of the funniest stand up routines I have ever seen.

    haha yea that was good too. i really agree with a lot of what he says. our society does baby people and is too "nice" a lot of the time. then again Im not very PC myself so obviously i feel that way.

    I tried to watch it.
    After listening to about 12 minutes of it I was disgusted with the overusage of foulness, and the sacreligiouness of it, and turned it off.

    You must've turned off a lot of his specials.

    This is one of my favorite parts of his stand-up - it's some of his less explicit stuff (with the occasional bad word) - his take on the process of flights, airplanes, etc.
