Talk:Politically Incorrect

message: Where does the total of eight come from? The show was on for nine years. Though non-scripted shows of course don't follow the regular schedule of the major networks exactly, the no. of seasons is commonly determined in a similar way. IMDB, for example, has nine seasons for this show.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:FDF0:9ED0:A5CB:6739:80C0:1192 (talk) 18:49, 5 December 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: Number of seasons

message: Unless someone can actually cite a source that shows that Maher's post-9/11 comments were a factor in the cancellation, or even considered as such, it has no place in this article. Especially since it is just not true.  The show was cancelled due to long term declining ratings and any number of financial matters.  Maher deciding to blame Disney and make himself into a free speech martyr at every chance he gets doesn't make it true.  Cite or delete. President David Palmer 06:22, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It should be kept regardless. It's a notable controversy. On the flip side, can you cite that it's not true and that it was canceled due to "long term declining ratings and any number of financial matters"?--SeizureDog 05:31, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Describing the controversy is different than suggesting the controversy led to the show's cancellation. David is challenging the claim, and the onus is on editors to supply a citation if the claim is to be retained. From what I can tell, there is no clear answer as to why the show was canceled; it's true that many (including Maher) tied it to his remarks, but ABC said it was strictly about ratings. I rewrote some of the section. I could not verify the quote that was attributed to Maher; accounts vary, particularly on the last sentence, and the most reliable source I found for the version in this article was the New York Post, which is not known for fact-checking. I used a different version from New York Times instead. I also removed the last paragraph in that section; it had two reference citations to imdb.com, which is a site where anyone can post anything (like Wikipedia), and is not a reliable source. -Agyle 14:05, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Seems to me that the long-term success of his similar show on HBO counts pretty strongly against the claim that it was an inability to get good ratings. Of course the censors aren't going to say that they are censoring, so ABC's statements on that topic have no value. Shanen (talk) 07:48, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The show's ratings were awful, and at least a couple of critics had very poor reviews of the show. ABC only ran it in about half of their markets. The show featured the likes of Tony Danza, Tom Arnold, and Lisa Sliwa giving their political views.  2601:8:9A80:AE9:416D:9920:DE3:B80E (talk) 06:38, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Cancellation

message: "These criticisms are somewhat nulled by the fact that the point of the show was to showcase Bill Maher's opinions, and he should not be prosecuted because his opinions are liberal."  -Is it just me, or does this sentence not make a lot of sense.  If his show is called Politically Incorrect and his opinions are politically correct, that strikes me as a reason for criticism.  Does the author mean "nullified?"  Also who "prosecuted" Maher?--Drunkencorgimaster 23:26, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The author probably meant "mitigated," but anyway even liberal opinions can be "politically incorrect," which should be obvious from the whole dust-up over this show in the first place. Casey J. Morris (talk) 02:13, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

message: What about including some reference to the immensely popular Islam-critical German blog
Politically Incorrect? It takes a pro-US and pro-Israel stance and drew harsh criticism itself for alleged Islamophobia. 217.236.238.169 (talk) 19:04, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
