    John Mulaney is one of the funniest comedians out there. Hands down. He does so without relying on writing material that isn't based on shock value (i.e. racism, sexism, anti-semitism) The rest of the show will catch up with him soon because he is THAT good. In the mean time, it is a bit rough. Everyone compares the show to Seinfeld because of the format, but go back to the first seasonJohn Mulaney is one of the funniest comedians out there. Hands down.

Given the chance, it will be better than Seinfeld. Mulaney is a better comedian.… Expand

    John Mulaney is one of the best comedians to grace the halls of SNL. Scratch that, John Mulaney is one of the best comedians to grace the halls of comedyness. Mulaney has had some bad ratings, but I feel this is because of the first reviews and then all following copied this trend.

    Mulaney is a really great show, it's only new and you should give it some time. The first episodes of    John Mulaney is one of the best comedians to grace the halls of SNL.

    Mulaney is a really great show, it's only new and you should give it some time. The first episodes of Seinfeld took a while to click, and Mulaney takes a little time to get used to. The Pilot's plot was based on John Mulaney's stand up, but he was making a pilot - of course he was going to use his best stuff.

    I hope John Mulaney keeps doing his stuff and I will consume whatever he makes.    … Expand

    Mulaney is brilliant! If Friends and Seinfeld got drunk one night (and I'm sure that they have), this comedy would be their beautiful child. It hasn't gotten such great reviews, but I am confident that this new series will find its footing. Lorne Michaels is producing, after all!

    Mulaney is an incredible comedian and his show certainly follows this trend. The show got off to a bad start on the reviews, in the first episode or two the some of the supporting characters were not written as well as Mulaney himself, but this was quickly mended as the show went on and the writing was improved. More people should give this wonderful show a shot as it is quickly becomingMulaney is an incredible comedian and his show certainly follows this trend.

    We don’t dislike the characters. We just don’t feel compelled to watch them, because they often don’t feel much more real than the animated characters they’re replacing on Fox Sunday night.

    The live studio audience is just in your face laughing at the most unfunny, hit the ground with a thud, jokes being thrown left and right by a cast that should know how to deliver their lines better.... It doesn't really get funny until the third episode

    There are also the Seinfeldean coinages and obsessions, but pushed forward and highlighted in a way that feels both self-aware and inept.
