MiguelXMar 23, 2008Overall pretty funny, but that laugh track is horrible!! I can't believe Black would allow something as cheesy as that to be used.

MeabarrMar 12, 2008The show was mediocre at best, I never laughed out loud, and I found that a lot of the jokes seemed forced or subdued. Plus the audience seemed like it was being forced to laugh or clap.

DavidV.Jul 22, 2008It needs more Lewis. As others have pointed out I too hate how the audience is dead while there is a laughtrack running. Gets cloying but Lewis manages to save the show at the end...barely.

The debaters make the most of this arbittary contretemps, but Black is a weak link. [14 Mar 2008, p.71]

Black, a thinking-man's blowhard, carries the concept off with shameless aplomb, while his debating helpers are equal parts witty and wise.

Depending on the subjects mocked and viewers' personal sacred cows, Root of All Evil won't appeal to everyone on a weekly basis (future episodes include Donald Trump vs. Viagra, Paris Hilton vs. Dick Cheney and Las Vegas vs. the human body), but it is a successful attempt to re-package stand-up comedy for prime time.
