    Liking Cho, I wanted to like The Cho Show. Liking Cho, I couldn't.

    If you didn’t already know that Ms. Cho has been a great friend to gay men, she makes that point often enough here. Unfortunately she doesn’t make many others.

    Her latest showcase suffers from an increasingly common reality-TV deficiency: It's too staged to be convincing, and too unscripted to be reliably funny.

    Most “celebreality” shows are probably staged to some degree, but Cho’s show seems more contrived than most.

    The Cho Show is the television equivalent of anti-matter: no scripts, no punch lines, just Cho hanging out with her self-consciously weird entourage. What a waste of one of the most scandalously funny comedians in America!

I have seen better (Kathy Griffin) and worse (Denise Richards, Pam Anderson, etc.) I'm willing to give it a chance and will stick with it for a season. I just don't think her enormous talent translates that well to this sort of vehicle. I say give it a shot and see if you like it.… Full Review »
