    Some of the bits weren't funny, but overall the show was good. They had some good segments poking fun at the left, which of course the left hated.

    This is a great show, needs to be extended to an hour. Its nice to see what real people think instead of the liberal dripple that the main stream news seems to report. sometimes it seems like the big 3 networks all get there reports from the same reporter?

    Aww, the poor liberals don't like satire about the truth. They have the daly show, kind of. How about decent review without politics.

    I love it. Finally a show that gives back a little something to the lefties. Of course they don't find it funny! It touches their golden man, Barack Obama. There is SOOOOO much material out there. Go for it!

    Hahaha. Great show with wonderful moments of humour. I'm eager to see where they go once they're out of the pilot stage. I wish some of those shirts were real. Only reason it has poor ratings on this website is all the lefties are offended by the subject matter. If they had an open mind maybe they'd laugh a little more.

    I am really pissed that they took it off the hour. My Sundays were actually lived waiting for this show. It was a great answer for us conservatives. Finally the left is getting bashed in a funny -- It was a great show and I will REALLY miss it..

    Loved the show...sorry it's off the air. The fact that the Libs don't get it, even makes it better. They don't get the Bible either.

    Finally, someone makes fun of the left. The left probably doesn't get any of the jokes or is offended by the show.

    OK Libs...it's all fun and games until the joke's on you. I'll laugh really hard the first time this gets better ratings than your liberal counterpart...and it will happen. I thought it was hilarious! - A God Fearing, All American Conservative

    I loved it. At first it was a bit shocking to hear jokes about the left, it's so unusual I felt a little naughty listening to it and enjoying it. It's about time there was another voice on TV. Keep up the good work.

    This show is great and alot of us conservatives would like to see this come about, it just shows that the left has no sense of humor and I think this is great comedy!

    I expected poor comments from the pathetic left. It's about time some conservative humor poked at them.

    This was a very funny show. Weedend update has been lame for two years now and this is very refreshing. I hope this has a looooooooong run on fox news.

    A look at the first episode suggests that, just as A.M. radio is the unassailable province of the right, TV might better be left to the left.
