    This is the stupidest display of pseudo comedy yet! Even people who are living in Spakane WA can't possibly find anything even marginally amusing in theis stinker. With any luck we wonlt have any more exposure to the nonfunny half hour.

    Much as I admire Tom Shales, I think he's just wrong about this one. "Dog Bites Man" puts a lot into each show, which doesn't allow for everything to be developed as much as it could be. It doesn't always work 100%, but it's still very funny and inventive and a great spoof of local news. The cast is first rate, especially Matt Walsh and Andrea Savage.

    There's a few good lines here and there, but the acting is just flat out dull. There's no energy in the performances, and they just seem to drone on and on. Better scripts wouldn't hurt either.

    This show is absolutely hilarious and I'm stunned to see the poor ratings the critics have given it. Perhaps they would prefer another Friends knock-off. Anyhow, it's my turn to judge the critics and I give them an F. This show absolutely rocks!!!

    Not suprised there are some Zero ratings here. Its really sad that there's always some people out there that just dont have a well developed sense of humor. This show is great. Sorry, if you don't get it.

    This show is awesome!! Best show on Comedy Central after Chappell's show. I don't know what these critics are talking about...might be a little too original for them.

    By far the BEST show that has come out of Comedy Central in years! The whole KHBX team is great and make the show hilarious. I hope the network sees how funny and original this series is and keeps iy up for many more seasons to come.

    This is a very funny show, and demonstrates that off-color humor is better when it hasn't been "dumbed down". The cast is first-rate, and although not all scenes hit their mark, the ones that do will have you rolling on the floor

    Good TV news spoof. I like the tone of the show, close in spirit to the Brit version of The Office (US version takes too much time for sentimentality). If the writing stays strong, the cast can make this show very entertaining.

    Not very funny and the few laughs it does produce are from fairly predictable jokes. This would have been a great opportunity to lampoon the media (it

    This show has a few laughs but in the mix of poking fun at Republicans it becomes its own freak show where ONLY the Republicans seem normal. (sigh) Can someone make a pro-democratic slanted show that brings us together instead or ripping the edges apart? PLEASE!!!

    I like the idea of the show which is why I eagerly tuned in but I found myself yawning half the time. The show has its moments but overall it is a big bore.

    This show will only become better as it has time to develop and grow within itself. Each character plays off the other well. The stand-out would have to be Kevin Beekin. His quickly ad libbed (sp?) lines seem effortless and, while his character is not easily likeable, it is easy to lose yourself in the hilarity. It must be said that every minute of this show is not "great". But each This show will only become better as it has time to develop and grow within itself. Each character plays off the other well.

    Completely boring! Nowhere near the spirit of The Office, which was brilliant, hilarious, and heartwrenching at times. "Dog" tries to be too smart in its own stupidity.

    Very, very funny show. About as witty as other documentary-style comedies like Waiting for Guffman and Curb Your Enthusiasm, just with more emphasis on toilet humor, a la Ali G. The creators need some time to flush out the characters and pacing a bit more. But Comedy Central should give them that chance. This show has tremendous potential - don't let it go!
