    Well done but propaganda, distortion & bias heavy.

    I think news based comedians could do better with a more nuanced view. Yeah the Republican spokespeople often get things crazy wrong but there is often elements of truth in their worldview that are wilfully or ignorantly overlooked by those that disagree. The truth in things usually finds itself somewhere in-between. I am a little    Well done but propaganda, distortion & bias heavy.

    The truth in things usually finds itself somewhere in-between. I am a little sick of people using every bit of opportunity they have to push their own bias and viewpoints rather than take people to truth. Think I will be switching off.

    John Stewart & the Daily Show under his stead managed to find the balance a little better IMO.    … Expand

    Samantha Bee is actually funny and sincere at the same time there's part of her show during the commercial I'm pretty sure she mentioned something about her father or she's asking her father to please tell everyone not to turn the channel when big bang theory is over.

    Every "joke" is an attack on our President. As a foreigner who we allowed to live in this country she should have a little respect. On top of that she isn't even remotely funny. She needs to go away.

    Why is it ok to offend 50% of the Political side of the US? Samantha Bee's show is offensive, it's difficult enough to be an Afro-Cuban and conservative in this politically charged atmosphere.

I swear that one thought should have died of loneliness because there is nothing else going on there.

She is a woman and the only one with a late night talk show think I am being sexist check her ratings next to the guys who did not get nominated she is way behind.

    Her apology was so hypocritical. Samantha Bee in crude and mean, as well as not funny. She claims to be a feminist, but chooses to call another women a c..t and thinks that's okay. Not okay. I hope this show gets canceled.

However, I guess it is OK for a woman to attack a First Child- who also happens to be a woman. And for Samantha to create a horrible environment for someone not elected to office and to ridicule her for a job she actually does not have. Well, at least not until CNN just broke news that Ivanka will become an unpaid federal employee but that was not part of Samantha's rant. https://www.cnn.com/2017/03/29/politics/ivanka-trump-white-house-job/index.html
    I think her attack on Ivanka is inexcusable and no amount of apology is sufficient. Samantha's behavior is unacceptable in the public space. Her comments were not in a private tweet or facebook post but part of a very public and popular show. Ted, its time to take action.

    I and my many liberal friends love her show. I think there is a troll campaign against her judging from the criticisms on IMDB and the negative ones here. If not trolls then I think her satire must hit the mark on the people who are giving her 1s and 0s.

    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.

    Bee's program is one more "publication" added to an increasingly crowded TV newsstand, but it already feels distinctive enough to merit regular check-ins, if not yet a DVR season pass.
