Is amazing. I don't know if it is far better than the Daily Show and Colbert like some folks say...but it really is great.

The debut episode is actually streaming on Youtube. Check it out. http://youtu.be/5tCmriZSxxk

The second half of the episode is especially stellar.

I felt the same. It was ok, but not great. I'll give it a few more chances though. Oliver was great when he subbed for Stewart last summer, so we might see some improvement.

My son loves Oliver. I don't think his delivery is better than either Stewart or Colbert. The show is identical to that of the other two. If it was presented head to head there would be no reason to watch it. I guess it being on Sundays gives reason to people who really like that format.

I caught the last episode on demand last night just to see what it was like and I enjoyed it quite a bit.
Nothing i will go out of my way to watch but if there is nothing on I will pull up the previous weeks
episode for a few laughs. There were some good bits about the Washington Redskins that I found
pretty humorous.

This show has gotten considerably better since it premeired, and Oilver has seemed to found his niche with this show. The long segments that usually take up most of the middle of the episode are fantastic. The one he did on the net neutrality a few weeks back was amazing.

It's good but certainly not worthy of the hysterical reaction it seems to have garnered in the progressive media.

He fills the "British guy telling Americans how stupid they are" role that we all want and need.
