      If you did ONE hour of "Bill vs. Bill" on nothing BUT religion, you guys would break the internet. I'm not kidding. You could offer pay-per-view. You'd get a BILLion views per BILL. That's what we really want to see. And the 90 year old Bill wanted us to see it. Just get the 70 year old Bill on board.

      Maher, you missing Shatner's point. We he calls it the Underground, he's speaking of the COMEDY UNDERGROUND. You're forgetting the age of your guest 90, and what his experiences are. You are going mostly with your own every time you correct his thinking. Bad form, dude.

      Not all people want to humiliate the people that they love! Most of us who love someone want to build them up and they would never want them to be seen in the light of humiliation standpoint. So I only guess on that could be that there is some kind of psychological issue compelling them towards this because honestly let's face it if you say you love someone do you want to humiliate them? Really? I don't sign on for that. No matter what problems I have for my partner what I want to reflect everyone around me the best qualities that they have and build them up. But if these people want to relate love with humiliation I'm not going to stop them but I don't feel that that is something beneficial that they're giving to their partner, I think that's got a lot more to do with wanting to control and dominate. I wouldn't feel loved by somebody who wanted to control and dominate me in that respect I would feel degraded and I would want out so I guess that speaks to the partner as having an issue because they have no problem being aggravated and humiliated. So what they have a need to be put down? Oh really who here thinks that that's healthy? Or a good encouraging atmosphere, an atmosphere of partner encouragement? I mean it's just my take on it. As an individual I can't feel loved if I don't feel filled up if I feel stepped on and put down it's going to make me feel unloved. But from what all the studies have shown the people who do this target those people, they see weakness and they see somebody that they can trample upon. And I feel that to be cruel but that's just my opinion

      9 no he's up no bill shettner's absolutely right. My love used to say that to people that Nick her head a family yet she would say who are you you never had a chick or a child and who are you to tell me how I should deal with my situations with my family! Yes we should not have our children living home till they're 40 by all means that's another thing my mother used to say nature intended people to go off on their own and start their lives, and that's the reason that you don't get along with your kids so well when they get to that certain age or they need to get the f*** out of the house! And she said that's the reason you don't get along with them because they need to get the f*** out of the house! And I really think my mother was a wise woman even though she never went on to college and she only raised a family she was smart. And it is true nature has its ways and it's rights of passages. And many people this day and age try to circumvent those passages, and maybe even possibly say that those particular rights of passages might be I don't know what's the word people are using oppressive perhaps, but again to quote my mother we have all these people raising their grandchildren these days. And my mother told all of us that she'll help us out but she's not going to raise our children she already did that, she raised her family and she'll be there to back us up and give us a hand but she certainly not going to raise our families for us. Now that's not to say that there was a situation where there was a death or something of that nature that she wouldn't have taken on that role. But she wanted to know that her kids could handle their own lives! I think that's a parent's role is to teach their children how to handle their own lives and not handle it for them. I think we have far too many people having their parents handled their lives for them to make their life easier and what generation before this had that luxury? Why do we have senior citizens taking on these burdens now? It's not fair to those people who already worked so hard and put all that time and raise their own families and should be able to enjoy their retirement they're now raising children in their sixties and seventies because their own children don't have the skills or the want and desire to do it for themselves?

    This was such a blown opportunity. Whatever your opinion of Shatner is he's led a fascinating life and he's in the twilight of his years. He's also one of the most famous persons on the planet and he's still very sharp at 90. I wish Bill Maher could have asked him more introspective questions about his guests life, his career, and feelings about his mortality. And most importantly, let his guest finish his stories instead of constantly interrupting and changing the topic.

    Bill Shatner is one of the last few real legends. What a man, what a life, what a hero. Contrary to false PR, he was a damn good actor and his Kirk was not overly sexual, he portrayed a reasoned logical heroic and brave captain, embodying the greater and most desirable characteristics of humanity. Guy has charisma that is unquantifiable.

      Captain Kirk is an absolute icon, but you’ve got to see Shatner as an old guy playing Denny Crane on Boston Legal. The man has a genius for comedic timing (helps that it’s an expertly written show that’s both zany and fun while also being tackling serious hot button issues in an intelligent way). I love the bromance between his character and James Spader’s Alan Shore.
