    Are Republicans really this stupid? I watched the March 4th show a few minutes ago, and I'm stunned at how unprofessional and unfunny it was. How did the guy working the laugh track know when to turn it on? By the way, great timing having Ann Coulter on. Again, are Republicans really that stupid? Yes, they are.

This blows like a Class 5 hurricane, doesn't it? There now. Doesn't that feel better? What Fox really needs to do is try to buy the rights to those clips from "The Daily Show" and "Colbert" where Stewart, Colbert, et al. are skewering the Clintons, Pelosi, et al. Between TDS and CR, there's eight shows a week. The clips slamming the left from each of them would easily fill up 22 minutes of air time for Fox and it would be light-years funnier than what they've got now with this.… Expand

    This show makes fun of liberals the way a 5th grade class clown makes fun of a substitute teacher. Luckily there's a Disney-Channel-style laugh track (roaring laughter immediately following every supposedly humorous line) so the viewer can tell what to guffaw at. To paraphrase Larry the Cable Guy: "I don't care who you are, that's just not funny right there."

    The president skit looked more like a parody of conservative thought processes. "Well, after two years of a democratic congress, the economy is in ruins and we're internationally hated, but luckily, the conservatives are back in charge." Unlike, you know, how things are after six years of a Republican one. Seriously, who thought that was a good idea?

    The show really didn't poke fun at the news, but seemed to be a hitjob for the US Democratic Party. In contrast, what I like about Stewart and Colbert is that they poke fun at both political parties, and use actual news events to bolster thier jokes (thus the Emmys). Granted, some of the jokes were funny, but there is a reason why the show has only been slated to three episodes.

One painfully humorless segment consisted of correspondent Jay Thomas (formerly of Cheers fame) doing man on the street interviews where he queried your average joe/joan types concerning their willingness to elect members of various segments of society, including dwarves, homosexuals, and women. I believe the humor was supposed to be derived from their inane responses. Unfortunately their answers usually consisted of just "yes" or "no." Maybe it's just me, but watching your average dumbasses giving yes or no answers to stupid yes or no questions is just not funny. Another segment featured the billionth tired take on the whole "John Edwards is a closeted queer who preaches a populist message while maintaining a billion dollar account balance" thing, a premise equally as unfunny as the tired liberal "Ann Coulter is a raging lesbian bitch" schtick.

    This show is not just 'Daily Show for Republicans'. The Daily Show and The Colbert Report don't explicitly target conservatives with their humor. Rather, the two shows are designed the mock the media, pundits, and 'investigative' reporting first, with conservatives often being the victim of collateral damage.

For example, the correspondents on the Daily Show, or Colbert's 'The Word' and 'Threatdown' as parodies of O'Reilly and Olbermann. The 1/2 Hour News Hour, on the other hand, lacks the ingenuity of the other programs (or the sometimes clever writing of SNL) and instead makes a bunch of obvious and old jokes targeting liberal stereotypes. Furthermore, the female anchor, the announcer, and Ann Coulter are all just terrible at acting.… Expand

    Awful. Just unredeemingly bad. Limbaugh as comic? Coulter? Neither of them has an ounce of comedic talent. Even if they had the best writers on the planet, they would still suck. And they have the worst writers on the planet. I wouldn't take a leak on this show, if it were on fire. Let it burn. And I've just learned that Fox is cancelling it!!!!!

    It was a comedy show? I thought it was someone filling in for O'Reilly.

    They just don't get it, do they? Too bad none of the good comedy writers are right-wingers. This program deserves to be euthanized.

    They needed the Draft - for comedic writers. The volunteer force wasn't up to the task....

    It was like telling a joke and forgetting the punch line. Were the hosts real people? That stuff on BBC is not as dry as this program. Waste of money!!!!

    This show truly was terrible. Not even Fox's loyal audience you stomach it. That it made 17 episodes is a testament to the programming directors stubbornly unrealistic sense of optimism that an audience could be found for this tripe. It made New Coke look like a good idea.

    Dennis Miller once commented garrulously with florid flourishes on the issues of the day with an acerbic wit and a well-honed showman's flair. It was a fun schtick.. He landed his comedic hits and pointed barbs in a way that more often than not elevated the audience, making them feel more intelligent than either they or Dennis Miller probably actually were.

He landed his comedic hits and pointed barbs in a way that more often than not elevated the audience, making them feel more intelligent than either they or Dennis Miller probably actually were.

    This show was the inverse of that. It felt like the show made you feel dumber than anyone could possibly be on the issued on the day because Dennis had by then turned into a rabid ideologue who was no longer funny but embittered with lousy analogies of whom he had his long list of beefs with. It was simply re-used diatribe from the 1st show to the last show. There are more poignant and funny right wing commentators on any blog, news site, or forum on the Internet today.    … Expand

    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.
