Critic Reviews

Rob Owen

Alternately goofy and smartly satirical, ["Freak Show"] may be the best companion to "South Park" Comedy Central has come up with yet. Read full review

Ray Richmond

Outrageous, bizarre, effortlessly hip and unsubtle in magically edgy ways. Read full review

Virginia Heffernan

There’s plenty to laugh at here. Read full review

Whitney Pastorek

This superhero spoof's odd humor manages to distract from the shudders... but just barely. [6 Oct 2006, p.63]

Matthew Gilbert

"Freak Show" aspires to be both infantile and yet politically and socially astute, and it falls short on the latter. The satire doesn't quite hit its marks. Read full review

Absolutely hilarious. The only people who don't find the show funny are the same that find Carlos Mencia and Larry The Cable Guy funny. I guess they'd rather Git ta Gittin' than watch a truly funny show. It's a shame it probably won't last beyond one season.
