A_Different_Drummer Like its sister show AGT, LCS took a long time to get the formula right. The first season ended with Dat Phan winning .... whatever the judges were on that year, they should have shared some with the viewers at home. For season 8, the judges (as is the case with AGT) are finally functioning as a team (although one suspects Russell Peters is not quite as well known as he thinks he is, and seems occasionally lost, actually making this reviewer nostalgic for highly photogenic Natasha Legerro).Unlike the case with Season 1, one suspects that, whoever actually wins, there will be multiple career breaks to go around. Joe Machi, for example, is the kind of creative spirit that most TV comedy show writing teams would kill for; Rod Man has a delivery so unique they could teach it in Comedy School and even then no one would be able to imitate it; and that self-conscious Canadian comic "who looks like a mannequin" comes across as a genuine diamond in the rough. Good TV!

Mama-C I run a group to stop comedian exploitation and I just spent the past 2 months hearing horror stories from comedians who attempted to audition for, "Last Comic Standing." If they don't have a GOOD agent, then they don't even get a chance to audition so more than 80% of the comedians who turn up are rejected before they can show anyone that they have talent! If they do make it to an audition, I was told that it's "pre-determined" if they get a second chance. So what the TV audience sees is NOT the best comics in the US.If the comics do make it to the show, then most of them don't get IMDb credits. I know this because I did the credits for all 6 seasons of, "Last Comic Standing" and I don't get paid for doing the Producers' job. It's really a disgrace. A month ago, I asked, "Last Comic Standing 7" on Facebook why the Producers aren't giving IMDb credits and I was banned from their Facebook Page!!! I am not a comedian so I do not have a personal stake in this. I just want people to know the truth. I don't like seeing ANYONE getting exploited and that's why I've been helping the comedians. Comedians get exploited on HBO, BET, TvOne and other cable networks but NBC is a BIG THREE network so those in charge should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this exploitation to happen.Please watch this video of a comedian who was victimized: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMb4-hyet_Y

MovieCriticMarvelfan Well technically this isnt a reality series, its a contest where 10 contestants compete with each other for a major booking and become the best comic around.This time around we have "Ant" a funny gay comic, Corey, a black guy who is funny but has a temper. Bonnie McFarlane was pretty and funny but she got voted of the first night.The competition is pretty funny, however not its getting ugly as it is with people forming alliances to save their own hide.Nothing more degrading when people start backstabbing others to move a step higher up to a food chain, but apparently thats all these reality series are good for. Still check it out.

ichabod_crane1899 This is the best reality show out there (in my opinion). I simply love the show! This show is hilarious, suspenseful, and wow... just wow! I love the idea of it and as it goes on, it gets even better and more suspenseful! ! OUTSTANDING SHOW! Way better than "American Idol" or any other reality show out there! This show is it! Can't say anymore. 4 star show!THAT WAS SIDEKICK JOLLY
