George Carlin's American Dream

It appears that some people didn't watch this in it's entirety. Those who are wrapped up in the political and religion jokes are the ones who George Carlin wanted to offended the most. Mission accomplished. But this was such a great look at his entire career and hearing other comedians perspective on the bits being told and how Carlin evolved as an artist.

It was nice to walk through the decades with Carlin, Brenda and Kelly. Its beautiful to see the "cynical/realist" have a life off the stage. The archival footage is amazing and crisp. The personal recordings, voicemails and letters put a personal touch on this documentary I think George himself would've approved of.

Really great show! Sad that some people only see it politically. It was really an American history lesson. I grew up watching Carlin and I see the dedication behind his work.

George is my favorite comedian of all time. He left us far too soon, because we need his insight today possibly more than ever. George wasn't just funny, he was intelligently funny and he made PEOPLE THINK. I'd trade Heard, Depp, Cyrus and so many more to have him back for one final show to talk about today.

My favorite comedian is given a proper tribute by HBO, which made George Carlin a household name. Jon Stewart compared him with Bach and Beethoven, a completely accurate assessment. Stephen Colbert calls him the Beatles of comedy, and again, a perfect comparison. The early to late clips show an artist evolving from a safe performer to a no holds barred angry old man with a message. We have no one out there now with Carlin's balls. Oh boy do I miss him now. Watch this great film.
