    This show is absolutely hilarious! David Krumholtz does a superb job of pulling you in to Gigi's story and without realizing it, you've completely forgotten that Gigi is a 37 year old man under a lot of latex and makeup. The humor is quick and smart and anyone who has ever experienced a true Jewish grandmother will know that Gigi IS a Jewish grandmother!!

    This is the second new "sitcom" to debut on IFC on Thursdays. It was mildly more interesting, but I'm not sure if it's completely staged or some kind of attempt at a "Borat" formula. Either way, it wasn't that interesting.

    Gigi does it is great i find it very enjoyable. Though i gotta tip you don´t go in with high hopes just let the comedy flow through you and you might find it some what entertaining.

    I'm sorry but I need Gigi to be my grandma.......it would be awesome.....On another note, I'm very familiar with this actor's work but HAD NO IDEA this was him until I googled who the man behind the mask was....too bad it's taken off the air.....I would continue to watch

    Giving her a dirty mouth and dirty mind is like a cheap laugh that grows stale, and the goodwill Krumholtz creates with his wonderful character quickly dissipates.

    Gigi has a one-joke premise.... It's occasionally funny but not funny enough to tune in on a weekly basis.

    If IFC were to give David Krumholtz a talk show or his own variety series, the Gigi character might work for five minutes per week interacting with unsuspecting citizens. But stretched to 22 minutes per week, even those candid-camera moments don't generate sufficiently passionate reactions. Krumholtz and Mabe both are giving their all, but there isn't much of a series here beyond the concept.
