George Carlin: It's Bad for Ya' - DVD

It's Bad for Ya', Carlin's Emmy-nominated 14th and final HBO special from March of 2008 features Carlin's noted irreverent and unapologetic observations on topics ranging from death, religion, bureaucracy, patriotism, overprotected children and big business to the pungent examinations of modern language and the 'decrepit state of the American culture.' Carlin once again comes up with an hour of material that not only makes you laugh, but also makes you think. George Carlin returns to the stage in LIFE IS WORTH LOSING, his 13th live comedy stand-up special, performed at the Beacon Theatre in New York City for HBO. Carlin's spot-on observations on the deterioration of human behavior include Americans' obsession with their two favorite addictions - shopping and eating; his creative idea for the All-Suicide Channel, a new reality TV network; and the glorious rebirth of the planet to it's original pristine condition - once the fires and floods destroy life as we know it.

It was a big leap for me.Inch the show, taped at the Paramount Theater in Madison Square Garden, is a perfect blend of biting social commentary and more gently-observed observational pieces.
