Reviews

rod-25447 What a terrible show. I leave the channel on True TV on all day but as soon as this show comes on I switch the channel immediately. I don't know what demographic it's intended for. It must be written for teenage kids who haven't developed any sense of humor. The production quality and acting is OK... but the writing is god awful. If I was True TV I would cancel this show immediately and replace it with reruns of Impractical Jokers or the Carbonara Effect. Anything is better than this show. I don't know how this show has picked up several seasons. Anything is better than this show.

dreamhomesedu This is one of the worst shows I have ever had the misfortune of turning on. It was simply terrible!!! Bad writing, Bad Jokes, just a bunch of low class garbage. The impractical jokers should be ashamed for advertising for them. I will not watch it again. The time I spent watching this was time that I will never get back and I really wish I could go back in time and change my choice to watch it but alas that is not possible. I really hope this is a show that does not stay on. There are so many really good shows that do not last because networks don't want to pay for quality because they can put garbage like this on and think we will be satisfied watching it. I for one am not.

b4blue Its a PC version of a sketch comedy. They appear edgy but cater too much to the general public, with view on stuff that mass media serves us already. I stopped watching after episode 3. I would rather watch old shows again, like Kids in the Hall, WKYK, ... But that is just me. I watch so much comedy that I really expect quality. They seem to have a good cast but somehow they fail. My guess is that they are too far away from the real, raw life, stuck inside their urban dream, growing up without any real problems. You have a cast of Jews and blacks and would expect so much more from them. Its like they have been cut from their roots and planted inside a utopia. Look at what other comedians are doing. PC is censoring everything yet they set up bar higher and higher.

johnsvenson77 Clever, fresh, smart sketch comedy show with a diverse group of comedians who clearly have an abundance of talent!! Superb!! There is nothing stale about this program and its cast. There is also an excellent flow and cadence of the skits so that you may see a 2 minute one followed by a 20 second one. It is unusual for there to be a show where the performers and writers are one in the same! And judging from the youthful nature of this cast, they have a tremendous future in providing us with quality, sharp, funny stuff. The best skits of the first episode include the various old killers, the intro skit with Lil Rel "summoning" the cast members for a "dance off" gang war that goes bad, and the chuckle cheese finale. Looking forward to seeing much more from this comedy collective!
