    Samantha Bee greatly bothers myself as well as many of my friends. She appears to be highly biased and always appears to side with whomever is obviously wealthier. To be honest, without writing a small article about it, she disgusts me. She appears to be a bought-out attempt to mimic the clever and honest approach Colbert, John Stewart, and later John Oliver displayed.

    This show is so off putting that I do not even watch TBS anymore just because of the commercials for this terrible show. We get it, she's a liberal. We get it, she's a woman who must shock her audience to be deemed "funny". However, she is NOT funny. I can not believe that TBS decided this was the best thing they could put on tv...

    Could have been a good show and Samantha had promise but proved to be what she portrays; mean spirited, snarky and biased. Where does this sell? I've not seen this approach work yet. Stewart was close because seemed sincere but even he lost much of his early audience being overly biased. I think he filled his studio with the same slap-happy seals with which Maher laces his seats.

    Worst show ever! Like several others, the sound of her utterly loud and annoying voice made me nausous. I really did try to watch but found absolutely NO comedic value and I so wanted to hear something to laugh at.

    It confuses me that a failed waitress and McGill dropout from Canada can be such an expert in American politics. Could be worse. Could be someone from South Africa pretending to be an expert in American politics.
    I am guessing the fall back education in entertainment sciences gives her that expertise in slamming politicians. Wonder how she feels about the new Canadian Prime Minister?

    But directly related to Samantha Bee...she simply isn't creative (unlike the Daily Show with John Stewart - which was itself biased...but creative). Her agenda?" Hmmm? OK...Ugh! Enough already...she's a liberal...any other tricks up her sleeve? Doubtful. She is the definition of a one trick pony. Boring.

    Like all liberals, she thinks she is more educated and intelligent than every conservative. Insulting and wrong. Her "humor"...Zzzzzz...teehee. She rags on Republicans, conservatives and POTUS Trump. Wow.... Big surprise.

I'm sure it appeals to all the progressive zombies that inhabit college campus', but people with a brain will simply frown then change the channel.

    As a political moderate, I find the commercials for this show to be so cringe-worthy I can't even imagine how bad the actual show is. Is she supposed to be the left's version of Alex Jones? Partial quotes, lots of yelling, smug snobbishness. Have both parties just totally abandoned the desire to appeal to the middle and have decided to be as extreme left or right as possible?

And if you don’t buy it, not even a little, she always tries to make sure you feel damn bad about it, and so does her playback audience. I don’t think I’ve seen anything so bias and one-sided in my life. While it may seem fresh on the surface, it’s core represents everything inherently wrong with the mainstream media today and it’s rigid, unapologetic narrative.

    There are a few funny moments to be found. But the jokes are highly predictable and telegraphed. So sick of the Hollywood liberal shtick. At some point it is old, unimaginative and boring, or is that just Samantha Bee?

    She may be least funny person ever on television. I would rather watch reruns of "My Mother, the Car." Her humor (if it can be called that) is the kind that would appeal to a spoiled five year-old. That may explain her popularity with critics.

Thirty years of Clinton criminal activities, fails to get poked fun at. Sam wouldn't want to take a chance on offending a fellow female. Donald Trump however has Scotch tape on his tie, and the gloves come off with a weak attempt at humor. Going after the sucessful white guy is free and easy.
    Being a Canadian, Samantha has no problem relentlessly attacking the American working class. As this practice continues however, TBS will surely shelve her show with the likes of Jorge Lopez's and others. My recommendation? While waiting for Conan's show to come on, get an early start on figuring out your taxes. We still have one last tax year of Obama to contend with.

I wasn't surprised about the shows blatant bias, as practically all late night shows fall into the "extremely liberal" category. But what I was surprised about was just how flat the jokes fall.

She will attack politicians on both sides of the aisle, but she's not striving for balance -- she just says what she thinks, and in the funniest way possible.

    Sometimes she's using sarcasm to channel straight up rage at the world. One of her best sketches to date was "Samantha Bee's #Roar You-Go-Girl Job Fair for Future Women, Lean In!" where she takes aim at several theoretically appealing career options and horrifying stories of what awaits girls if they decide to pursue these careers. It's hard to say whether the appropriate reaction to the bit is to laugh or to cry, but either way, it's the absolute opposite of milquetoast evenhandedness, and thank God for that.

    She also did an amazing 2-part piece on Syrian refugees where she was actually meeting with some out on location, and she had a great bit in the most recent episode talking with a black woman who's a member of her writing staff about the horrors of the way white people approach Black History Month.

    With Full Frontal, TBS truly has a comedy show that’s sure to become part of the cultural conversation and possibly fill the void felt by Jon Stewart‘s departure. There’s so much scathing, insightful, intelligent funny packed into Full Frontal and Bee’s ability to land a joke is beyond impressive.
